Hey everyone,

Need some thoughts. (Shows analyst on FB, but I've since been promoted). Basically I have had all amazing reviews since at my firm. Currently on a project where I am feeling super burnt out and as a result im not taking initiative and therefore performing poorly. I believe my next review will be quite poor. Does anyone have any advice on managing this / perspectives I should have? I am pretty worried that I will get fired and if that happens idek what I would do.

Thanks

One project that's not incredible won't kill your career. Do what you can on this one, communicate, and take some time off when the project ends and maybe during if it's long. Rest up, come back and crush it

Happy to help. You're never in this alone

Take everything as a learning opportunity and seek as much feedback/help as possible. Coming from a non standard background, I failed miserably on my first project and review but two years in, I’m in the top 10% (at least that’s what I’m being told)

When you get stuck on a design or when you are starting a big project, what are your creative processes? Do you look at colors? inspiration? Pen and paper? Illustrate something? Want to work with my designer on a toolbox of steps to pick from to find what works best for their individual creative process? I know my creative process is look at inspiration, pen and paper, then start designing, but I don’t want to assume that’s theirs too.

Hello fishes, recently I have received the job offers from Akamai & Nasdaq with kind of equivalent pay. I've an experience of 2.7 yrs in Java Backend.

Just want to check if it's a bad thing or would it still be worthy against the project & domain.

I lack the resume experience.

Thinking to move within EY to an M&A focused group SaT or EYP. Do ~2 years and see if I still want that. Will that tick the box for most PE shops?
