Feeling major �impostor syndrome� lately and that I�ll never progress in my role like some of my coworkers. I had a baby this year and feel like my maternity leave set me even further back.

I�m a man. To me, moms are super women. My comment is obviously not helpful to your career progression but you should know you inspire people like me. Good luck!

You�re not an imposter just doing the best you can. I�m a mom of three- and I try to be the soccer team mom, room mom to balance the mom guilt. But it�s hard, no denying that. Just keep pushing and try and focus your energy so when you are giving your client time you feel you�re contributing valuable work and same at home. What means the most...which moments can you cherish the most for your family.

Hang in there, OP! I totally get where you�re coming from. Finally making headway in my career and the thought of having a child literally terrifies me (for a multitude of reasons, but this is a big one). Be confident in knowing that you�ll pull through because you can! Do what you gotta do and be the boss babe you are!

I’m assuming you are female, though I can’t totally tell. I’m an “older” Dad at 41 with two young kids. It took almost a full year to get my brain back and running at anything approaching optimal efficiency. Unfortunately it’s just a fact of life. The advantage of having kids with our career is the empathy you can share with other parents and the ability to better visualize their goals. It’s a huge advantage and you’ll get there. Best of luck to you!

Hi Fishes,
I've been offered for Engineering expert position at Novartis India. I've received offer letter 2 weeks back and my DOJ is updated to Mid December. I told the HR that my current company's last working day is on mid January and resend the offer letter with mid Jan as my DOJ. But they told that they can send the revised offer letter 3 weeks before the joining date.
Is this normal process? Has anyone gone through similar experience?

I am surprised and concerned about the fact that a lot of my colleagues do not have good excel skills. I literally had to show someone higher rank than me probably 30ish, how to do a “find” in excel for the workbook. This isn’t limited to people who have been out of school for awhile. This also includes new hires and staff, and seniors. Partners forget about it. They probably aren’t involved at all in building out the work paperwork but I feel staff, seniors and managers should be good users

CFP study programs:

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement?

Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?
