Hi guys,
Need help,I am joining VMware Banglore on 27th June. During interview I told them I need wfh. They said it wil be wfh this entire year. Only mistake I did was i didn't permanent wfh. I took for granted like once I join i can opt for it ( as my VMware friends had said we can opt for it)
Now the offices have started, I am scared if they call me to office , I have 14months son, not willing to leave him n go for office.
So if I ask manager to give me permanent wfh will they agree ?
Unfortunately, Many are getting impacted by today's layoffs across the organisations and it is super hard to cope up mentally and financially. I came across few openings related to Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) consultants, experience ranging 4-12 Yrs. Please reach out to Teja Chandrashekar (teja@vdigitise.com), Phone: 7672030466. Hope this can help some of you to get back onto the feet. Kindly like, comment or share for better reach. Thanks much!! #experience #share #help #consultants

I decided to do it now. I am in my mid 40th so not near the retirement but can not work these unsustainable for me hours after 5 years in public. It is me. I see plenty of people doing it and I cannot. It affects my health and happiness. I am taking a pay cut and staying in public. Will see how this works out.
Knew a senior manager up for promotion to partner who quit and went back to school to be a social worker. Her husband was already making good money for them though.
This would be someone staying in accounting
I don’t believe there are many 40 hour a week jobs where you have any upward mobility and for those that may exist there is a big risk with job security
I’m in my mid-30s and am in this position now, sort of.
I was a manager at a midsized PA firm. All of my clients were small privately held companies and nonprofits.
Now I’m a senior accountant at a midsized public company (and I didn’t take a pay cut). The entire accounting department is former Big 4 and we’re audited by a Big 4.
It’s been a mixed bag so far, TBH. Most importantly, the work life balance is much better. I have yet to work on a weekend, and I only work more than 40 - 45 hours in a week if I’m bored at home or just want to get ahead on month-end close.
However, it’s still mostly a GL accountant’s role. It took me a couple of month end closes and a quarter close to settle in and find a groove, but the tasks are already becoming repetitive in nature.
I’m getting valuable experience with SOX, ERPs, and other software I see listed on jobs I’m interested in, but I fear there’s not much room for growth into a manager role (we have 1 senior manager and I work with 2 other senior accountants who have been here a couple years).
On top of that, I’m hoping to eventually land a role in SEC reporting. The SEC reporting team at this company is pretty good and I don’t see any of them leaving anytime soon, so I don’t know if I’ll have the opportunity to gain that experience here.
Overall, I don’t regret leaving public and I know I made the right move. Though I’m starting to realize I will probably have to leave this company (even though I really like the people and the vibes) if I want to find the role I really want. If I stayed though, I could probably coast to retirement.
