How do you motivate yourself to show up when life is getting a bit hard, and work is super busy?
I know it just needs to be done, and working can take your mind off things, but I just find it so hard to get up and get going sometimes.

This has been me every day the last couple of weeks. I’ve started doing pomodoro blocks (25 mins work / 5 mins break) during the workday and it’s been helpful. Also trying to remind myself I can only do so much in a single day has been helpful.

I’ve never heard of that before! That’s a really great idea. I’m definitely going to try that, thank you

It can be really hard, but that’s where my discipline kicks in. I don’t always feel motivated, but I know it has to get done. Hang in there—the world is really depressing right now.

It really is, it can sometimes be so hard to find the positives.

Boutique or big 4?

I'm currently an ops manager at a big 4 in London and received an offer from a small boutique firm with 25-30% pay rise.

I'm also in the process with Accenture but I feel like I'm not sure if I'd jump just for the money but also change in environment.
What type of things would you be asking yourself if you were in my shoes and debating to jump ship?

Need a sanity check here.

When I joined my current company, we were on a quarterly bonus structure with guaranteed payouts each quarter. This was, in fact, how the recruiter said he could meet my salary request.

The company just announced we are moving to annual payouts only, with no payments for 2023 until May 2024. There are no raises happening.

This amounts to 12% less money in my pocket in 2023 plus inflation.

Is this standard, or should I be looking for opportunities elsewhere?

I'm in finance/tech FPA, looking to go back to the defense industry for a 25% increase in TC. But wanted to see if I should leverage the new salary with current company to see if they'll match.

Background: got a promotion at current company that didn't come with sufficient increase . After stating my case I was told it would be evaluated next October, which is what prompted the initial job search.
