How often would you say you have a slow day? For example, just a few emails and a few pings. Is there a trick to having them more often?

I would hope that you would have no slow days… personally if they became a regular thing, and you’re in a highly compensated, cost center role; I would question my utility and value to the firm, and maybe start putting some feelers out there to see what my prospects are…

Honestly, slow days feel pretty rare now. When they do happen, I try not to advertise it and use the time to catch up, clean up loose ends, or get ahead a little. I don’t know if there’s a trick, but setting better boundaries around meetings and not instantly responding to every ping probably helps.

As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.
