How do you go in everyday and do Ramadan? It’s so exhausting. Last year I was sick the last 10 days because it was all too much for my body.

I think it comes down to practice and physical strength tbh… if you’re already physically weak when starting Ramadan it won’t go well with full days at the office… build up your strength before, after that the only thing that gets me is the sleep

Though the last 5 days of fasting I feel very much, especially now that I approach 40

If cramming in ibadah is also a contributing factor, go easy. Don't have an overwhelming list.

Loads of folks do hybrid WFH and/or leave work early. See if you can arrange this with your employer.

My employer is super strict 5 days. I will try to see about this. Not hopeful.

I never solved it at McKinsey and opted for taking most of Ramadan off.

Generally curious how many companies offer phone reimbursement? My last gig did not but the current one does. Legally it seems, all employers are required to do so if we use our phone in literally any capacity (video call, slack, teams, emails etc). How prevalent is the issue of not reimbursing phone dues?

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)

Salam. 23M here - all my life I’ve had my back on our faith - never really prayed but had imaan (I guess). After bouts of depression from girl problems (🙄), issues within immediate family, being disappointed expectations I had for myself, etc. I’ve been working on bettering my situation over the years. Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?
