I feel like I can’t unwind during the week, but I do on Friday nights and Saturdays. I always have the “Sunday Scaries.” I recommend finding some time to do mindless things - like watch tv, play a game, chat with a good friend about light stuff. It’ll get your mind a chance to rest. Sleep is important too. I have a normal billable hour requirement that I’m currently meeting but I struggle with maintaining productivity regularly. (I.E., one week billables are low the next they’re high). I just say take care of yourself first and the anxiety will hopefully subside slightly. I’m interested to hear what others recommend!

I’m in the same boat with billables. I struggle with consistency. Also plagued by the Sunday Scaries. Once it hits 4pm on Sunday the stress starts to come back.
I bought a switch to play some mindless games and really enjoyed myself this weekend. Thank you for the suggestion!

Does anyone feel like it’s difficult to gain acceptance and find allies when you’re a POC?

This post is an alert message for anyone joining the Johnson & Johnson EMEA account for SAP & had Rakesh Sharma for their Manager round.

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.

Received a job offer. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a concern I had about it. It's an entry level position, and I don't have much experience. The billables are 2040 a year.
