How do you manage friendships on set when you move into a leadership role? I’m worried about becoming “the boss” and losing genuine connection. Has anyone handled this well?

You can’t be everyone’s friend anymore. Respect beats popularity. Lead first, socialize second.

Depends on the type of friendship. It’s possible to still be a human at work when you get into leadership. Just be mindful of boundaries and that you aren’t only including a select few now.

That’s such a real concern. One thing that’s helped me is being transparent, acknowledging the shift and keeping communication open. You can still be supportive and approachable while setting clear boundaries. It’s a balance!

I joined pwc last month, and absolutely hating it here. Each weekend has been working, 12-15 hours work day is minimum expectation. And there's extreme hierarchy, where even after you spend 24 hours working on something, the director decides he wants something completely different and you delete and restart. (Note that you request them to review and give their pov earlier on, but they never take the time out)

How does underwriting compare to PIP litigation in terms of flex time (ability to stop/start work throughout day, work at 2 am if needed, etc)

For example.. in PIP Litigation I can review my suits at 2 am if needed (as a result of having a rough day or other emergency) and still be in compliance

Does Underwriting carry any time sensitive tasks?

I've been following Coforge LinkedIn page, and I have decent offer from them. In one call HR said we will be moving towards 5 days work from Office, to which I said I don't mind.

Question is - whenever I compare Coforge with any other people say avoid Coforge.. Why????
