Decided to grab a drink before my flight in San Jose. Sat at the bar next to few consultants “assuming” and all of them are wearing headset and playing with their phone. No one is chatting. Sad world

In the old days we read the paper on planes, but talked to others at the bars.

I struck up a convo with someone (not typical of me) at the airport bc I wanted to ask about their shoes. They cheerfully kept the convo going a bit. Turns out, their client CEO is a personal friend of mine from back home, 1.5k miles across the country.
This world is so small sometimes.

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!

Hi fishes,

I think I am slipping into depression. My life seems to have no meaning and all I do is work. I don't get time for myself or my family, friends and loved ones. But I can't leave my job and take a break as I need the financial support.

I also feel I am earning way less than my peers which makes me feel like a loser. 4.5 years of work-ex and 16LPA.

What should I do? I need good wlb but also need money badly.
