Bain & Company I have a second round with Bain & Company coming up at the DC office for Experienced Consultant role. Excited, but hella nervous. Recruiter said it’d be 3 separate interviews, all with Partners; 2 case, 1 fit. About 40 mins each. First round was 2 case interviews with Sr. manager & Associate Partner. Been a rough year, so definitely looking forward to this opportunity. I’ve been on the site and going through preparation and materials. Any advice or suggestions welcomed!

Hi guys,
Need help,I am joining VMware Banglore on 27th June. During interview I told them I need wfh. They said it wil be wfh this entire year. Only mistake I did was i didn't permanent wfh. I took for granted like once I join i can opt for it ( as my VMware friends had said we can opt for it)
Now the offices have started, I am scared if they call me to office , I have 14months son, not willing to leave him n go for office.
So if I ask manager to give me permanent wfh will they agree ?

I burn out every 18-24 months and take time off. It's kinda natural. We didn't really evolve for these schedules or stress levels.
It gets easier each time, but you'll need some period of downtime regardless.
Do what you can and just be confident in yourself that there will be ups and downs, but over the larger timeline you'll progress if you do your best.
Good luck and God bless!!
Yup, similar on my end. Love what I do but the stress builds up.
freelancers save lives 🙃
Please take a vacation day, you deserve one❤️
I will, thank you🥺
I’m so sorry Art Director. I felt this way for the past 3 years straight at a previous agency and just got a break because I was laid off. Take a few personal days. Talk to the agency about your workload. And if your agency isn’t receptive to your request for manageable workload, think about setting yourself up for freelance. No agency is worth staying stressed out and unhappy for.
Thank you🥺

With all due respect, think about those coworkers of yours who were let go in the layoffs. Think about the fact that you still have a job and benefits. Think of the doctors working 36 straight hours shifts two days a week not just during these times but always. Or consultants or big law firm associates that work 80-90 hour weeks basically for their whole careers. There are times when you have to work longer hours and do more than you bargained for. This is one of those times. But it’s better than being unemployed in this environment. So honestly get some perspective, take a deep breath, it’s not going to change. Will you?

Yeah this is not the right response. Your feelings are valid OP. You don’t need to just suck it up. You can be burned out or overworked even as the world is falling apart. No one can tell you how to feel. This job is draining and I’m right there with you. I have no easy answers for you but just know you aren’t alone.
I’ve been feeling burnt out as well.
Last week I just couldn’t perform to my usual level, so I lowered my expectations of myself and did not work as hard. I leaned out and kind of slacked off, (which required some weekend work) and felt guilty about it but this week already feels better. I was much more productive yesterday.
So I don’t know if you can lean out a bit and not be as productive as you usually are for a few days. But it may help to lower your internal expectations.
That being said, if the issue is workload with unrealistic deadlines over which you have no control, then definitely speak to your boss. They kept you for a reason, so they need you, hopefully they can help you reduce your workload push back deadlines.
Also, definitely take some days off.
Good luck!!

This is going to happen. Companies will push remaining workers to the breaking point until they have to dig in their pockets and hire more people.
Agency churn is already pretty high due to workload/pay/stress. Let's say that just got 10-20% higher and people are leaving on average 3-9 months earlier. Maybe my juniors lasted 24 months on average and now it's 21, management 60 and now it's 51.
The way I see it, the staff gets worse overall, due to disruption/less institutional knowledge/less work experience/less desirable employees/etc, but those hours are still billed to the client at the same rate.
But does anyone decisioning care? They just steered the company through a pandemic/recession, cut payroll, made the money. There's no clear cost to it because it's entirely lost opportunity. And most of that leadership is gone soon anyway.
Because that's kinda what's happening already, so why would now be different? I'm not even sure the model supports different. Since our product is hours, efficiency gains will always be through cheaper hours.
