Hey folks, need your advice. I have a few watches of my own, I only try to stick to automatics & manuals with a few exception of quartz. I wear a watch everyday and told myself I’d stay away from Apple watches but with WFH, I need to track my health & wellness. Did any of you succumb and grabbed an Apple Watch as well or what’s the alternative. Or should I just go ham & do the dual wrist 😂

What has your experience been with wfh? Do you prefer hybrid, rto or permanent remote? For those of you who are permanent remote and living in subs, do you miss the nightlife/weekend plans made in bigger cities like hyd or b’lore?

Stimulants + Caffeine: has anyone been having coffee/tea with stimulants daily for years? Is it safe? Any thoughts?

Why are town Hall meetings so impersonal? They are all about awards / the number of people hired. I know FCB health is large, but we never hear from people who aren’t Executives. Last town hall, when discussing inclusion efforts, there were no people of color represented and one of the 4 pillars of diversity was centered around our “reputation as an organization” (that really rubbed me the wrong way). At my last agency those conversations were always led by people of color from every level.

Considering a move to NTT Data in a healthcare consulting role. Mixed reviews in the bowls. Major concerns are bench policy, staff aug roles, 2 week PTO, and high turnover due to job dissatisfaction. Recruiter and mgr had great things to say around growth and opportunity, which doesn’t align with feedback from the bowls or Glassdoor.

I’m getting back into the design game after taking a break. I left a very toxic work environment that deeply effected my mental and physical health and took a very different job to have a change of pace and do something different.

Hi All,

I am looking out for an opportunity as a Software Developer, preferably remote working, I have 9.5 years of experience in Java backend development. Please refer me if you are aware of any such opportunity.

I joined MakeMyTrip in April. I got married in June. My husband works in hyderabad and we stay with his family. So I asked MMT to extend WFH for me. Full remote is not a possibility as per the company policy. I would love to work for product based companies like MMT. But I feel that moving to a new city alone at this point is more of a distraction considering my new relationship. Can you suggest me any product based companies in hyderabad?

What’re the various agencies/components’ return to office dates (if announced)? And what’re the remote work policies after that date? I hear DOJ said their individual components will decide when exactly to return between mid-March and early May and some are offering a lot of remote flexibility even after then. Curious to hear more details though, both for specific DOJ components and other agencies!

At 29 weeks. What are the things to start doing now? Feeling a bit anxious about the closing D date. How can I be better prepared. Have already signed up for birthing classes in Sept and am doing prenatal exercises.

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?
