Has anyone attempted Fractals test on Tableau ?
I've been trying to update my resume with my last 5 years of experience and I'm completely overwhelmed. At this point I just need to hire a resume writer. I need someone who can talk to me about my experience and actually write the resume, not just edit an existing resume. Does anyone have a recommendation? Is ResumeSpice worth the money?

Soo I’m a quiet quitter I guess lol and it’s hardly ever any OT opportunities in my area so working my normal hours but i been heavy on the planning (utilizing calendar/ reminder & task app)
I always make sure I’m taking care of me 1st like cleaning, workouts, more home cooked meals etc for good energy and when it’s time to get with my friends / family we set dates on our calendar (back to planning) for when it’s time to catch up but I can enjoy the time because I took care of “home” 1st if that make sense
Love this, quiet quitting for the win!
I make sure to prioritize things over work. As crazy as that sounds, I always make sure to do my job, but I also don't value it more than my physical or mental health, or my family and friends. If I have to choose between working overtime and spending time with family, I usually choose family. To be fair, I am unmarried with no kids so my girlfriend and I have the luxury of being able to do this, but it's made work a lot better, and my life a lot more balanced.
Yeah not having children def helps with bringing in the wlb
What I prioritize most is my peace and quiet. After I log off, I smoke and hang out with my cats and my best friend (boyfriend) who I eat great food with. This is 4 days a week. Some weeks we go on random dates on a Tues or Weds. In general, I don’t commit a lot of time away from my household during the work week because I love being at home. Easy with a WFH Finance job with a partner who also has a WFH Finance job in the same industry. This makes me ridiculously happy lol
Weekends depend on the season. I go out more frequently in the summer and stay home during winter. I don’t prioritize family for a reason. At least not mine, not saying you should if your circumstances are better with them. But that eradicates pretty much any cost or time needed to give money or visit them on any weekend.
So every 2 weeks in the summer, Fri w/ girlfriends, Sat with partner, Sun with partner’s parents [less often]), then scale back considerably in the winter when there’s less to do, maybe go out once a month with friends or his family. All my friends are grown with their own shit to do so we see each other more than enough for me to feel fulfilled.
So yeah. That’s my WLB. Avoid family, go out with friends every 2 weeks, date person in same industry for familiar & comfortable dating arrangement, WFH so I can work out, grocery shop, do whatever whenever.
never thought that dating someone in the same industry would be an asset in terms of WLB . I thought the opposite honestly cause they wouldn't have time for me lol
This is a good question. I make a schedule and build a routine. I make sure to separate work from family hours. Setting boundaries and prioritizing what matters most is not going to be easy but it's doable.
Glad that people here have mentioned quiet quitting, because that is just how I do it. I maintain WLB by not getting over-indulged with hustle culture. Our generation takes care of itself, one of the salient features of the millennial/z-lennial demographic is that we tend to reject boomer ideas. i absolutely love this about us. Embrace quiet quitting!
Set proper boundaries between work and family/social life. I try my best to limit it by only working at the time when I'm in the office. The minute I step out, I go back to being just a friend/wife/mom. No crossing of lines as much as possible. If it can't be helped, I try to take breaks in bettween to still balance my time for family or even myself.
Well, social life is not one of my priorities right now. So between family matters and work, I think it's pretty manageable. I just make sure not to entertain work stuff after my working hours.
