One. As an analyst.

Probably like 2.

10 in 1.5 years. I don’t regret it. But I’ll never do it again.

30hr+ day with time zone change and work in flight..

Almost at least once before a go live. Sometimes every now and then towards the end of a sprint

Only when flying internationally.

I've done a few here and their but I usually cap them with going home to sleep during business hours. Mostly due to someone f-ing up work that needs to be delivered the next day (and them not asking for help earlier).

1 in 2 years

Zero except for terrible weather-related flight delays that caused an overnighter that didn’t include a hotel (late notice/ booked hotels).

Hi Fellow Fishies,

I am reaching out because I was recently contacted to interview for Cigna Provider Engagement Development Program.

I lateraled into a niche practice group in Sept 2021. I also have a 1 year old and have been mostly remote since I started - but have been keeping busy tracking towards 2400-2500 hours. That said getting to know people only remote has been kind of awkward at times (email only can be tough to decipher) although as a working mom the pros vastly outweigh the cons. Yesterday my main partner asked me to come in Thursday bc he will be there and set a time to meet. Is this good/bad?? kind of nervous!
