Yes heads down day try to avoid meetings

Not as much as M-T... But always at least some work gets done.

Yes but usually log off early around 5-5:30pm.

The days of early Friday’s might have been a thing 10 years ago, but it doesn’t happen for SM and PMDs fighting fires and meeting when clients call. We largely protect staff from those demands. You’re welcome.

Meetings all day to go over everything we have to do next week :/

I typically stay within 40-50 hours. So yeah.

That's not bad. I'm new to AWS and trying to keep myself around 45 but been doing 60 for the past few weeks.

Hello!
I'm italian, 26 yo and currently working in France as financial analyst.
Work environment is great, friendly and multicultural but I don't like the job at all.
Personal life is not so nice since I manage to see my family and gf every 30/45 days only. Colleagues have their own lives and at the end we don't hang out much.
My dilemma is:
A) going back to Italy at a lower salary with less growth opps but better personal life or
B) Switching my job here and hold on

What would you do?

Thx! :)

Hello people, how common is a Amazon to PWC move ?
I’m interviewing for a Senior Associate role and TC seems to be more competitive than role in L5.

TC $114k- Base AMZ- $73k +$38kstocks ( vesting 17k$ due next year)

TC $135k Base PWC -$81$ + Bonuses ( 50k$)

Looking for managerial skills which the PWC role avails, and L6 promo doesn’t seem to be happening soon in current role. I’m also mentally stretched. I hear WLB in PWC is just as busy but can anyone confirm if this move makes any sense. Google Amazon
