I’ll start: I’m overwhelmed, I feel isolated from my team, the other new hires who started in October are already dead inside, and I’m stressed that I didn’t do any billable work yesterday even though I hit my target for the week.
What are the things that are making you feel overwhelmed? Have you talked to your step one guide or your performance coach about it? Sometimes for stuff like that it's easier/more comfortable/less intimidating to talk to your guide. What can we as seniors, managers, sr managers, partners do to help the new associates not feel so isolated from their teams and less dead inside?
You can message me if you want. I'm a senior in audit and I've been at DHG for awhile.
Doing alright. I have been lucky with teams so far (have really liked working with them) but can totally see burnout happening sooner than I anticipated... Just finished one busy season (audit) and going into another one. Am also staffed on a 9/30 YE so by the end of this year I will have done 3 busy seasons as opposed to most people’s one 😂 on the up side I’ve learned a lot, but on the down side wfh is definitely super isolating. I have a couple friends from the internship last year, but starting virtually it was near impossible to connect with any other people in my start class. It’s rough when you feel like you can’t rant with anyone or ask anyone your dumb new associate questions 😭. Maybe we should start a new hire support group hahah
My utilization is like 70% since I started in October... I’ve tried so hard to find work but just so much time with nothing. It’s freaking me out even though people telling me it’s fine. Starting tomorrow I’ll be really busy until end of March but just stressful. Makes me feel like I’m doing something wrong even though I’m pretty sure I’m not idk
Appreciate this thank you
Started in September. Have been on 8 clients since. It has been rough to say the least.
