For those of you who are more focused in the evenings or work better at night, what do you do during the day during normal daytime office hours? And do your managers know about it?

Mornings are spent dealing with meetings and support effort, also raising a kid.
Night time, I do a lot of the heavy lifting work.
With an agreed flexible schedule, I'm literally available for questions 20 hours a day for 6 days a week (not including Sunday)
I give the effective 40 hours of work a week, but during busy time I can push an average of 60-80 hours to meet deadlines.
If it reaches 90 hours, that means the marketing team is promising gold-pressed latinums while the warehouse only has sand

Attend meetings, answer emails, etc. I’m still present and available, but I’ll wait until my brain kicks into gear to get to work on hard projects.

All of that plus an occasional workout or even short nap mid day (put teams on loud, everything else silent) in case someone ponga me.

There are so many reasons someone might be away from their desk for 20 mins. Also people help their kids with school, walk their dogs, mentor people over the phone/not on teams. Unless your naps are hours long I wouldn’t think twice about jt

Meds during the day. Get work done during the day and have fun at night! Nope-not being micromanaged, I’d quit.

Hello everyone, I am currently 9 months into my first job after graduating with a BCom. I am currently working at KPMG and working towards my CPA. Only issue is I hate it have very little interest in accounting. I have seriously been considering pivoting towards a career in data and analytics by perusing a masters in data analytics or data science. Most people around me strongly encourage me to finish my CPA but I feel like it will add little to no value to a career in analytics. Thoughts?

Common knowledge is it is a disadvantage to the candidate from a salary negotiation process. I'm also told hiring decisions at places like AWS & GCP take time and it might be a few months before an offer letter is received.
