Does anyone else feel like WFH is slowly ruining their motivation? I never minded the long hours of consulting pre-Covid but zoom life is killing my drive to advance.

I don’t think it’s ruining motivation, it’s just shifting my focus to realize I don’t value work or my career as much as I used to, and instead want to do my own thing and enjoy my time. Just a pivot is all.

It's still Zoom from the office periodically, but using the conference room Zoom setups on the big screens is a welcome break from living in tiny screens. Made a huge difference for me.

Hello Folks,
Can you pls advise on which company to go for.
