Has anyone spoken frankly with the overseas team that supports their firm? Do they like working crazy hrs Bc they need the overtime money for their family, or hate it? How are they doing in India now?

Based on conversations I’ve overheard, the general sentiment is that it’s so prestigious to work for a large US firm that the hours are worth it. Basically the same thing that the firms sucker undergrads in with except the Koolaid doesn’t go away over there

Our overseas teams don’t work crazier hours than we do in the US. They have busy seasons which correlate with our audit busy seasons. Their schedules are a little different (mornings start much later at 10 or 11), then office til 5, go home for dinner then get online at night to message the primary team. We’ve had 2 offshore employees work here on our team on 6-month rotations so basing off the conversations I had with them.

I heard that our India counterpart doesn't get paid hourly. I was surprised because they work very hard and are often online pinging us at their 3am or so..

:(

Yeah I don’t see my India team on until their 11am.

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?
