The Mission Economy, by Mariana Mazzucato! Relevant to work in GPS

Just finished The Spy and the Traitor by Ben Macintyre and Smoke Gets in Your Eyes by Caitlin Doughty - both very good!

Heard a podcast with Doughty on it, where she talked about her book - fascinating stuff (my father in law owns mortuaries, what a kooky cottage industry)

Enjoyed “No Rules Rules” about Netflix CEO

Range and atomic habits right now. But favorite non-fiction story is the devil in the white city.

5th September is my last working day at Infosys. Yoe=4+ yrs

I hold an offer of 18LPA from KPMG with joining date of 7th September. (Wfh)
I applied at Workday on 15th May and went through 7 technical rounds of interview and received a verbal offer letter of 21LPA (hybrid)
Now apparently their technical panel "forgot" about the interview and wants to have a discussion again as 8th technical interview. HR says their joining date will be 19th September.

Is 7 weeks too early to start thinking I may have made a huge mistake in switching to my current gig? I left the last place because it was overr toxic and terrible W/L balance, for one that seemed to be more “fun” and more realistic hours, only to find that I’ve now been working 12 -14 hours a day and just drowning and feeling like I cannot catch up or catch my breath. Everyone is in the same boat here which is why I’m so overwhelmed so quickly with no support. Is this an immediate red flag?
