How many of you think that USDC or even Deloitte is plagued by the "Desi" culture of climbing the corporate ladder? So basically, don't care about the work to life balance or anything else as far as I am getting promoted?

Big4 consulting by nature kind of breeds a "hustle and grind" mentality. The stereotypes of late nights, weekend work, and burnout exist for good reason.

I don’t

Don’t think so

Nope. Still plan on climbing the ladder while also not sacrificing the rest of my life. It’s possible.

Career advice?

I'm a relatively junior data engineer (2yoe), the only other engineer (senior) that trained me left about a 6 months ago and I negotiated a nice raise for the extra responsibilities.

My performance reviews have been stellar, but my manager is starting to look to hire a senior to help me deliver projects as we do lack capacity right now.

I feel like I might be missing an opportunity to ask for a promotion and hire a junior instead.

Any opinions/tips?

Mid-level associate at a mid-size regional insurance defense firm practicing coverage litigation. Salary is capped b/c my firm only does I.D./coverage and has no direct-hire comm clients. Second round of interviews with a comm lit boutique where I would be the only associate with 5 partners. Other than partner track, salary/benefits, and switching from coverage to general comm lit, what qualities of the move should I be thinking about as I weigh my options? I've never worked at another firm.

My current role is hybrid with at least two days a week in office. However, with the potential economic downturn, I'm considering holding on to the role to supplement my income.

I'm new to the overemployed movement, so I'm evaluating the feasibility of holding onto the hybrid role and the remote position.
