How are women with kids excelling in work? I am barely surviving. I used to be excelling in school and college and even before I got pregnant. But for the last three years since pregnancy, my life completely changed. I have been removed from previous project before ml. I have a toddler and I am just now settling at work in the new project. But still I feel completely drained with work and caring for baby. There will be sick days, work pressure.I have a nanny but still got no time to upskill.

Hey I was in the same situation 1 year back. I took a break from work and returned to work last week. This was the best decision I’ve taken. It’s ok to sometimes pause and take care of yourself. Taking a break from work gives you enough time to rest and rejuvenate. After I’m back to work I feel more energised and dedicated.

I have a toddler too and there is always a toss between professional and personal life. One best thing is you are still sticking to work, a lot of them quit. A lot of women have excelled and reached higher positions along with kids. The phase is stagnant but definitely not the journey!

It's okay girl..!! You are already doing an amazing job. बच्चे jaldi बडे hote hai. Don't miss this time. They need you, spend time with them as much as possible. Company can replace you in a day. You have an entire lifetime to excel in your career but this बचपन is very short... And trust me we all are running to achieve this short-lived success but at the end we know what is the truth. BIG hug to you!!! 🤗

I have an offer from Coforge and joining date is in exactly a month.
My current role is Senior Automation Engineer. Position offered is Test Analyst (Lead).
CTC Offered: 26 (24 fixed + variable)
One of my queries is regarding the Medical Insurance. As per the offer letter it mentions "Mediclaim Scheme with Floater Option of Self + 3 or Self + 5 with/without parents. " : INR. 150,000/- to INR. 3,000,000/- 
Does this mean that without paying extra, the med insurance is just 1.5L?

The client and coworkers were all nice, but I remember being stressed on the project due to limited resources.
