Has anyone moved from Accenture Federal to CGI Federal at Manager/Senior Manager level? Looking at Strategy/Organizational Change Management roles, and curious to know if you feel that compensation and benefits were worth it when measured against your actual experience once you started working with CGI. (I understand that some of it depends on the account you're on, the team you have, etc., just trying to decide if it's worth considering.) Thanks!

Hello, everyone! I am new to fishbowl, the Healthcare field, and fairly new to my company. One of my primary goals, besides finding the highest quality talent to join our team, is to expand my network. If anyone here is willing to send me a LinkedIn connect request I would be very appreciative! It will be a mutual benefit, I assure you.

This is standard policy with or without covid. My son went to daycare Bright Horizon one from 6 months to 11 when we pulled him out. You only have 2 options pay someone to come watch you child during the day or work ans take care of them. I am doing the later and my wife is a health care worker so no wfh. I take care of my son now 20 months old and work. Some people I know who can afford it have full time nannys
@op what AD 1 said. I have been thru 3 project 4 proposals 2 reinvest activities etc the last 10 months and people are understanding. One thing we did was push my child's bedtime to 930 p to.930am from 8 to 8. So I start working at 730 Am that gives me 2 hours before he wakes up ans then when he wakes I am attending calls or thinking thru next steps and making breakfast for him ans getting him seated for breakfast so by 10 am he is on his own for 45 mins eating breakfast and watching Disney. I have asked for flex time between 11 and 130 on every project where I attend the important calls and engage my child , you will get another 45 min block to work during lunch and then. Once I put him down for a nap at 130is I have till 430 to get 3 solid hours of work done. Then when he wakes up I play with him in the front lawn till his mom comes home at 5ish and then back to work by from 530 to 830 or some days its back to work from 8 pm to 12 am on stretch days till 2 am. So I get 3 hours in the morning 3 in the afternoon and 4 in the evening to work. The challenge is being hyperproductive during those hours ans being upfront with your project leadership about your flex time. Its hard not easy but doable. We plan on starting daycare for my child next summer and thats 6 months away. I just need to push on till then. What keeps me going is this time I would not have had with my child if I was travelling and this is once in a lifetime things and this too shall pass. If you sacrifice career growth this one year in the grand scheme of things its inconsequential.
This is regular standards. Use Back-Up care if you are still working for EY. If not, just go to care.com and secure an emergency baby sitter, the issue with that is reliability...

I have two young kids and this struggle just gets harder... so far we don’t have a great solution either as not too many people want to babysit sick kids in covid times, understandably...
Hire a nanny. It will change your like. Nanny share if you have to.
Hire a nanny. You should ha e done that as soon as this Covid thing started. We have had a nanny for 3 years now and we pay her 2200$ per month for 40 hours. Best decision we ever made. Our daughter is 3. Both of us work.
Also if your kid constantly falls sick in the day care, maybe you Need to find another daycare. Because it’s rare for kids to fall sick these days, thanks to everyone wearing masks and social distancing even at day cares etc.
Maybe we should consider a nanny. It would be about 1000 a month more than we pay now. I don't think the covid rules for mask wearing have any impact on the spread of viruses in a nursery setting where care takers are constantly in very close contact and the babies are obviously maskless.
Agree with those saying hire a nanny. It’s made our lives easier for only a couple of hundred dollars more per month. Nannies come with their own sets of issues but there’s more peace of mind than daycare.
