Hello fishes,
I have recently joined Accenture and have experience in working with DSP/Syniti ADM data migration tool for the past 3.5 years. Now I am thinking if I can continue working on the same tool or if I can move to SAP BODS (not yet assigned to any proj and didn't receive any training on bods yet)
Which ETL tool is better in terms of growth, pay, demand and scope? Pls pour in your suggestions. TIA

I was in the same spot at you OP.
I was angry at everything. And when I wasn’t my anger always laid dormant waiting for eruption. Anything would trigger me.
I made the decision that my life wasn’t on the same path as everyone else’s, and that I needed to focus on the good things I did have. I cut Facebook, and put a time limit on Instagram. I increased yoga and reading. Another thing that really helped me was connecting more with my family. I would not just call more, I would focus more on FaceTiming my family. It’s awkward at first, but it gets easier. Best of luck
I felt like that a lot... Meditating and Jiu Jitsu worked for me.
BCG1, trad JJ I’m afraid!
Start a gratitude journal. Or get a jar in your home and write down one thing every day on a piece of paper that you enjoyed, that uplifted you or that you are grateful to own, or witness during the day. Could be as simple as the hot shower or the warm sweater or the matching socks and gradually it will be the sunset, the smile from a stranger, a joke from a friend. I don’t have a ratio measurement of how much toxicity exists to positivity but I do know that when you feel one, that’s all you seem to be exposed to. There is a ton of toxicity out there ( not denying that) especially with social media and news coverage. Do nice things for you. Make your home a safe haven. I read the book “good vibes, good life” recently and found it an easy uplifting and instructional read for this situation
Find different people. If you don’t have them in real life, start with social media where it’s easier to filter and search for positive messages.
Second finding different people. I actually quite like my coworkers. It's the consulting approach to the job that's driving me a bit bonkers. (the travel, the hours, the urgency, etc)
I search gratitude memes every day. I write one down on a sticky note and put it on my screen. I can see it throughout the day and brings me back.
As an analyst you are way too young to be feeling that way. Save your skepticism you will need it, it gets much much worse.
I am 7 mon into my job out of Grad school and feeling almost dishearten as you do. Wants to find a more fulfilling path, but yet working in fields (ngo or non-profits) where I can surround myself with people with more positive influence and energy would mean I won't be able to support myself and pay back student loan etc (1st gen in college from immigrant family)
Maybe go talk to your doctor. Could be stress, lack of sleep, host of other things.
