Feeling a bit lost lately. I’ve had some major life accomplishments recently and I feel they go unnoticed. I’m super stressed with work. Everyone has been super negative lately. I’ve tried talking to a few close people only to have them railroad me with their problems (not in the trying to relate way). Every time I try to take a vacation from work it gets pushed aside. Im just tired and need a break and people to realize it.

Sorry to hear this. Would you like to share your accomplishments with us? We can cheer you on.

Regarding your unsympathetic-seeming friends, is it possible that the people around you may be going through tough times themselves and may need support from you as well?

I can empathize with you, OP! Book a weekend getaway and take time for yourself! And for all the people who are going through things but not being there for you; give them some grace but say to them, hey I have some thing to share and I’d appreciate you giving me some time to share/celebrate. Now, if that’s not possible, treat yourself!

Please take your vacation!

Hello!
I'm on west coast & a possible job opportunity I'm interested in works east coast hours. Company prides themselves on being remote & having talent everywhere. Thoughts on ways to directly ask about their expectations on work hours (i.e. requiring every1 to be logged on at X time vs. flexibility, knowing there may be outliers like meetings, etc.?)
Regardless of me not being a morning person, I would hope there is a shared feeling that those expectations might not be sustainable.

Hello folks,

Need some advice on the following situation I am currently in:
I have an offer from PwC India and will likely get one from EY India also (similar ctc). At the same time, Cognizant is willing to match these offers. The only difference is I will be a consultant at Cognizant and a senior associate at PwC.
I understand wlb will be screwed at either of those big 4 and clients will be India based.
Which of these should I choose?

This is all for technology consulting as I am an MBA

Hey internet folks,

Curious how long it’s taking people on the job hunt to land their next gig. Do you guys mind dropping in time ranges below (ie months) + your city for comparison? I know there’s no “one size fits all answer”, but would be helpful to a lot of us here while we soldier on.

For example, I’m inching towards 1 month actively applying in San Diego. I know the right one is out there for me!

Thanks!

I’m currently on a weight loss journey & have been enjoying some success.

I know intellectually that it’s water weight and that’s it’s no big deal but emotionally I still get discouraged by the visible bloat & the number on the scale. How do you guys overcome this and still stay consistent?
