Hi all,
I have joined ZS few months back almost 6 months, before that I was an intern in a big 4 firm for 4 months. Now, I am not liking my team and work hour is too much(approx. 12 hrs) minimum on a daily basis. I want to switch to other company with a better WLB, what are the options that I can try or should I spend few more months here?

You are working on the right skillsets. Try learning a bit more and start looking in data science or engineering once you have completed at least an year (if even then you don't want to stay). As many have pointed out, even if you get selected for an interview, people would want to know why are you leaving so early. Not an easy question to answer to the satisfaction of the interviewer at this stage of your career.

Spend more years. You just starting your career.

@Author discuss with your manager and see what kind of help can be given. When I had joined ZS, I was replacing a 10+ years experienced person when I had just 2.5 years of experience. That person had moved to another team and country (US). I had 1 week of KT, 1 hour daily very early in the morning due to time difference. At that time, I didn't think of asking my manager for help and stretched myself to the max. Although I learned a lot, now years later, I feel that asking for help would have made my life a little easier.
Think about switching if there are any other issues, but for wlb, I think something can be worked out if you talk to your manager.
All the best!!

As everyone in this platform says zs lacks wlb

Yes... I wasn't aware of this before joining the firm.

Hello everyone!
I recently found out that I was being paid less than everyone in the team (more than 25% gap to more expe teammates, around 15% less than new hires)
We all had the same responsibilities, I consider I even had a heavier workload (talking in past tense since I very recently made an internal move).
Things to consider:
On a work visa
Non-white
Non-male
What would you recommend doing?
Keeping it to myself?
Speaking up? How? With who?

-TIA

I firmly believe leadership makes the difference.

Not only, it highlins each one's value, but especially spreads this value among others.
I'm speaking about life, in a broad sense, which also include work life, but it is not limited to that.

Looking for any kind of suggestion to improve my leadership: books, experiences, attitudes, daily-routine, ...

Thank you!

How is the work life balance at Globant?

Last year when Covid broke, I received a couple of interview calls but ignored them as I felt the organization kept me at work when other companies cut short their HR staff so I should be with them even if with no appraisal. But now, I was living in the fool's paradise when I am told to leave with no job offers in hand, car and home loan, dependent parents, expecting jobless spouse with a 3-year old kid.
