How many hours of work is reasonable for work life balance while also showing dedication to your job? I worked from 7am to 6pm on Friday, and I’m starting to feel like that’s not it.

These 11 hour days every week are draining me. I know you can show dedication without being the first in and last out. I’ve seen people set boundaries and still get promoted. At this point, I realize it should be about impact, not hours, and I need something better.

That’s a good point. But if I start setting boundaries after historically not having them, I worry that it’d be viewed as if I’m done trying

I show dedication in my work, not the hours I put in. I noticed I was dragging out my deliverables just to seem like I'm working harder than I need to be. At the end of the day, nobody really cares or appreciates that. They appreciate somebody who produces good results, whether it takes 30 hours or 50.

There is no such think as work life balance in finance

To me that is too many hours, My company is purely results based so it is dependant on the work we do rather than the hours it takes. So usually I work 10-4 or so, but will always be here if I am needed

Yeah, 7 to 6 definitely sounds like too much, especially on a Friday. I think consistency and boundaries matter more than clocking long hours.

Anyone else having trouble focusing today? Every time I have a long break and come back to the office I’m reminded how much I don’t like my current job. ID Associate and I have such a hard time concentrating even after a week off. I find it mind-numbing and unfulfilling. I’m never excited to come to work anymore for the past few months now. Just found out from a legal recruiter that I’m also way underpaid here. Hopeful I’ll get a job in a diff area of law or find another calling altogether.

Hi Fishes, I immediately need to switch my role related to Data science/ML/AI with good hike. Suggest some companies and ways. I'm willing to learn new things after deployment.

YOE : 1.5 years as Python developer

I want to ask for a 20%raise, knowing that the company is planning the year budget around now should I give my manager a heads up as to what I’m expecting before my salary review? I got a 0.6% raise at the start of 2020 and a 4% in April this year. The raise this year came with the title of “Lead” and more work responsibilities, talking with a co-worker we now make about the same amount. I started working here right out of college (10 years).
