Got messaged by a C3 . ai recruiter. Read that wlb is bad and that the interview process is absurdly long, but the Glassdoor reviews are 4.2 and can't find actual hours worked posted by anyone. How's the culture really? I'd be aiming for DS consulting, something more functional but with DS/ML concepts as my differentiator.

Hi all,
I joined KPMG around 3 months ago but I am not getting work here. Although, I qualified some project's interview, yet due to some internal reason, they considered someone else, and I again came on bench.
I am unable to figure out what can be done now.
Should I start searching work outside.
(I hardly see any job openings these days)
(sap domain)
How's the resource management here?
(do they lagOff?)
Any inputs will be helpful.
Thanks!

I’ve been trying to do something for me before I logon for the day. For example, a workout, a walk, up or even sitting on the balcony in quiet with a beverage for 10 minutes. Also, EY has some great resources for Mindfulness! Take advantage.
Great idea. I keep wanting to try this but I get drawn to the computer instead. I have to make it happen!!
Two kinds of stress going on: your chemical stress and workload stress. If you literally don’t have time in the day, you need to reach out to get assistance with your workload. If you are an excellent performer, people will try to use you all the time. YOU may not be able to say no, but mention it to the manager (whose work you were doing first) that another project was dumped on you and ask which you should do first? Many times, that manager is going to walk down the hall and take care of it for you. There’s only so much “you” to go around so don’t burn yourself out trying to please people or you will end up in ashes blowing yourself out the door. If you are THAT valuable, burning you out is the last thing anyone would want to do to you! Make sure you tell people dumping work on you that you are backed up and you have things to finish, too.
Basically, speak up! 🤣
I think you just said to us what you need to say to your partner, STA1. Express how it is making you feel without threatening to leave but more that you do not want the client work to suffer in quality and timing. Say you feel like you are disappointing or going to disappoint everyone but you are only one person. If you don’t want to quit, you have to speak up. You also have to be ready to move on if they are going to remain unreasonable.
I’m also assuming you are good at what you do in which I know a place that appreciates folks like that! Haha 😆

Yes you can slack off, speaking from experience.
Now if you do want an answer outside of leaving public accounting haha. What I’ve done to help tremendously was set boundaries on one day of the weekend (Sunday was easiest) where I legitimately DON’T work no matter what. My mind and body needed it. It was hard at the beginning because in the back of my mind I still had work pending. Also, early mornings to myself made a difference. On one client I would go to the coffee shop from 5am to 7am and just do me, listen to music, journal, pray etc. (some people like the gym, I like to relax but in a place where I won’t fall back asleep). Also, now with the quarantine I make sure I wake up early enough to shower, make breakfast, open the blinds, and then afterwards I situate myself at my desk to work. Not allowing myself to work in my room. Once I shut down at my desk, I’m done for the day (well unless someone calls lol which someone always does haha).
