It totally just depends on your sleep cycle. Some people like myself are early birds, some people are late morning, afternoon, evening people.
If you’re comfortable with the conversation, see if your project(s) can still progress with you coming in later in the day, and staying later.

I usually woke up at 930 as a first year analyst.

Needless to say, I was fired within the year.

Normal time? 6 +\- 30 mins

I wake up all my early career staff at 5:00am and we all do a Zoom workout from 5:15-6:15 so I know they're bright eyed and bushy tailed to start the workday at 7:00

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

Hi Fishes,
I'm currently working for a fintech firm as SQL Developer which has got me into a toxic working culture(zero support from colleges) with no learnings so far.

Although, I'm from a Commerce domain..I wanted to move into Data Analytics so I learned SQL and Tableau on my own to get myself better Data Analytic job opportunities to build my career in.

However, without any live projects and hands on experience on the tool, I could only learn a few things about these two mentioned tools. So

First review is coming up. Tips for survival? I fully expect it to be terrible. I am not happy here, I never have been, I don't want that to come across in the review, and I just want to make it out of the meeting with a small amount of grace. My plan is to just nod along and say thanks, will work on. I am also insanely busy right now and this is the last thing I want to deal with.

I was referred to McKinsey last month but haven’t heard back yet. The system still say “submitted”. Obviously things are slow with the holidays and recruiters don’t reach out to new people for a bit.

Is McKinsey still getting/retaining employees that recruiting is business-as-usual or are the scaling back/up?
