Hello everyone,
I am Data engineer with relevant experience in Big Data and AWS cloud of 8 years and got an offer from axtria.
I read some bad things about the work life balance there, is it true? I am thinking whether to resign or not.
If yes when should I tell them that I am not interested.Axtria

I had one week where I booked 4 doctors appointments because my new insurances kicked in⊠no one blinked an eyelid
did you have to tell them at all? or could you have just blocked the time off in your calendar? relieves your stress that way
No one cares. Seriously. You arenât the only one doing this and no one pays attention to work blocks. Just make sure youâre still doing the work assigned of you and youâll be fine.
Thank you so much/just needed some help not overthinking it
Do not feel bad about this. In consulting it is completely acceptable for you to be exploring other opportunities, but we don't create any safeguards to prevent retaliation when others know you are doing so, therefore it is normal to use white lies to hide that you're interviewing
If your team cares about you as a person, they should be genuinely happy if you find something that makes your life better, and would completely understand why you wanted to tell a white lie to hide interviews. If your team doesn't genuinely care about you as a person, who cares what they think
No problem - good luck!
Donât worry about it. If you get the job and leave, your job will be posted and youâll be replaced.

If you really feel bad then tell them the truth lol

1. Donât include anyone else on the calendar invite.
2. I usually just block the time off and title it âMeetingâ or âPhone Callâ, or something random that people do all the time. Just in case you happen to share your screen early in the week and someone catches a glimpse of your calendar.
Why do you feel bad? When your company doesnât give you a raise because they had to watch their budgets but can find the $ for a crazy exec bonus, do you think they feel bad?
Well said/youre right!! honestly the biggest reason I'm leaving is because of pay/you're 100% right! And also the BD expectations, literally why would I even care about BD if I'm not getting anything out of it
Unfortunately I'm kind of in an on call situation/blocking my calendar wouldn't stop folks from reaching out
Honestly, youâre doing what you have to do! Donât feel bad about it at all. Like some other said, make sure you get your work done and thatâs all.
