Do you not get tired/depressed sitting in front of your laptop for 8+ hours daily ?

Depends on the work and team atmosphere.

I have felt horrible doing monotonous work for hours mindlessly on end

At the same time, I haven’t felt time pass when i am solving some problems or finding root cause for some defects that requires some knowledge and understanding ! Its like working on a puzzle.

And before pandemic, even when then work was bad, i had good team members who kept it light and fun :)


But during pandemic, I got into a horrible team and here every conversation is painful and depressing

I do not. But I actually do not sit continuously 8 hours. Also the actual work on laptop, where I have to type something is very less, most of the time either reading, understanding, thinking different solutions which I can do on notepad as well. I enjoy this sort of work. I consider myself lucky to be in the industry which actually gives freedom to implement thoughts to certain extent. I believe most of us are like that only and very few people will actually be sitting in front of laptop for straight 8 hrs.

I am comfortable sitting at my laptop and doing work/other stuff rather then bitching about other team members. Social skill is not my strong suite. Doing my own stuff gives me more peace and calmness than the toxicity around.

L&T Technology Services How is L&T Technology Services in terms of work life balance. I have cleared the interview but the package offered in much less than Xoriant. I am done with fast paced work and want to join somewhere the work culture is relaxed and I guess LTTS will give me that. What should I choose... LTTS or Xoriant?

Which career path to choose managerial, for e.g Engineering manager, director, or coding for e.g. Lead, architect in terms of scope in future, payscale and what is the highest roles these paths can lead to? For. e.g I have seen EMs grow to bigger roles like VP, do architects have something similar? Is it EM path is much more rewarding and faster rise in career?

Hi Everyone,
I am an incoming Analyst at Accenture Strategy, scheduled to join soon. I’m an undergraduate and will be joining the ACN practice. I was wondering if members on the community could shed more light on IB Vs CN. If it’s possible to switch to IB? Why IB is more preferable and what are some other differences? Are their different offices for both? Would be great if someone can give a peek into progression as well. Cheers!
