How much do people work in PE? How is time off? Time for gym? Time for dating?

How does a person stay in this field and maintain a balanced/healthy life? Or is it even possible? I’m an average guy..average energy, average smarts, average interest in tax, but compared to peers, I’m great with people. I feel like this mix leaves me chronically burnt out in this field. I was a highly motivated person and like grinding if it allows me to enjoy my hobbies in slower times, but that type of balance is becoming nearly impossible to maintain. Cont.

Holiday office party coming up tomorrow and I still haven't bought a gift... ugh. Any suggestions? I never know what to bring.

Has anyone attended the Holiday Hi-Light Festival? Is it worth doing?

I am so beyond ready to leave my current job, but can’t yet, since bonuses are paid out in January. 😬

In the meantime, I’ve applied to a lot of similar roles (slightly higher) but have not heard - good or bad - from any. Is it common for companies to slow down hiring in December because of Q4 rush, people on holiday, etc.?

Im starting a new job but still employed somewhere else. I was trying to be open about staying at BOTH places. My current job won’t let me be part time because they don’t allow “set schedules”. Yet I am one of the only reliable and loyal employees in the department, and currently working a set schedule. So why will they not let me continue a set schedule but with different hours? This place is more focused on strict policies and not actually trying to work their employees and being flexible.

Got an offer today...

Applied for a mechanical engineering position. Salary range was 65-75k a year. When asked about salary during the first interview, I replied 70k is my number. Later I found out that since it's a small company no health benefits would be provided, but 10 PTO days are included. Had I known about the lack of health benefits and 401k match I would have increased my bottom.

The offer today was for 70k but now I'm not sure if I should try to negotiate for another 2-3k?

My firm recently updated the Intapp Time app and it seems to be capturing my time more aggressively than the previous version. E.g., Composed email to X, edited doc Y, viewed email from recruiter Z? Yo!! How do I shut the damn thing off? Stuff is creepy to me. No doubt Big brother's watching.

33 never been to pride. Live in NYC. What should I do?

I have moderate-conservative views. My team, 6 other people, are all very left-leaning. Politics isn't usually discussed outright, but the liberal views frequently seep into our meetings. It's uncomfortable for me; I can't chime in when they talk about media, covid, news, etc. because I don't agree with their snuck premises. I get along with all of them and I don't think they realize I'm basically a closet conservative. Anyone else feel like a total outsider on their team?
