If you've got a lot of deadlines, try to prioritize them. It's possible some could be extended, or you could delegate tasks to coworkers. Don't let your work make you too tired, that can risk your health. It's just a job, your wellbeing is more important, to be honest.

My advice is to turn "work mode" off for a lil (this could be a day or two and maybe that will help?) I know when I work a lot it becomes a lot

That’s very smart. I guess a lot of people say it’s burn out. Thank you for the advice.

When deadlines pile up it gets really hard to see where a break fits in. Sometimes even taking a short day or blocking off a little time helps reset things a bit. Constant pressure without a pause eventually catches up to anyone.

Try asking for support from your colleagues or manager. If your workload is too much for you there's no point continuing to struggle alone in silence.

I’m the only director of operations. My team members under me don’t understand a lot of things. I’m not too sure why they’re in their position. My DM I don’t know exactly what he knows because he always tells me he’s busy doing something else. I’ve been with this company for a year and a half and the pay is nice but everything else is not well organized.

I’d see if I could rearrange some projects to accommodate the time you need off. Or ask your colleagues to lend a hand. Doesn’t hurt to try.

Talk to your boss, sooner than later. Give them some dates you're thinking of and see which will work best with all the deadlines. Don't wait on having that conversation. You're already burnt out; if you delay taking your time off, you won't have any energy to enjoy it.

When you sit back and think is your life where you want it to be or are you settling?

I’m in a little of a pickle but a good one. Offer A. Established “start up” doing well financially and projected to hit profitability. 130k base. Stocks offered, unlimited PTO, and 70% Medical covered. Offer B. Is at a business much larger…90k salary with 10% bonus and generous stock offering. Titles are different which is why the pay is much different. I know some may think it is a no brainer but offer A allows me to grow the department ground up whereas offer B id be apart of to just different

Hello! I’m a clinical healthcare worker and am currently working on a master’s in finance to pivot to healthcare consulting.

I’m trying to get an internship next summer (I have the time off work) but am having difficulty finding internships for non-MBA master’s degree candidates. (I have a clinical MA and doctorate & it’s been an auto-reject from analyst internships.)

Would anyone be willing to connect for internships or work for companies that love non-traditional candidates? Thank you

How long is too long to try to push back a start date? Getting a formal offer early next week but trying to keep that big law bonus if possible. Firm pays out bonuses Dec 30 & I have a vacation scheduled Dec 19-23 (and was planning on working remotely the week after too). Ideally want to get EOY bonus or negotiate for a signing bonus but is it too much to push for signing bonus and those weeks off? I'm open to working remotely those two weeks but know that may not be the best when I start.

Partners - Do you ever take vacations?

I have been at my current firm for about 1.5 years, and in that entire time the partner in my group hasn't been out of the office a single time. Is that normal? I can't tell if it's standard for big law partners to not take time off, if the dynamics for my group may be different (only 1 partner in the entire group), or it the partner I work with is just a masochist.
