Christmas Day feels quiet after all the noise of the year. Even with all the family dramaaaaa... I am trying to enjoy today without mentally replaying targets, interviews, or next steps.
Does anyone else find it hard to fully relax? Dare I say it .. work is easier than family..

I'm not thinking about work details too much while on a break, though it is inescapable to some extent. And it is funny how I'd rather run work issues through my mind than have to listen to some of the family conversation. I just try not to visibly roll my eyes.

Work problems feel familiar and controllable, family dynamics less so. I also catch myself mentally choosing spreadsheets over awkward conversations, even on days meant to be restful.

I always find it hard to relax on the holidays. I am a go go go person and the holidays force me to slow down a little bit. I honestly need some slow moments though.

I am exactly the same. Slowing down feels uncomfortable at first, like I am doing something wrong.

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

I recently had an interview with HCL and cleared 2 rounds of technical interview. I waited for a week for HR call but no such call was received. I then contacted the POC who scheduled the interview (he is an HCL employee) and he said that I have been shortlisted and will receive HR call shortly. This was 1 week ago and I have still not received any call. Has anyone else faced the same issue? And if yes, should I even expect a call fro HR?

There is no travel with Slalom, but the idea of being the new person all the time isn’t too appealing. Less pay and known culture, or more pay unknown job satisfaction?
