I have epilepsy that is sleep deprivation induced. With deliverables requiring me to stay up late to turn them around by deadlines, how do I bring up that this is getting dicey for my safety?

OP, my sister has epilepsy. You have rights because of your disability. Don’t listen to people who tell you to quit - your job must make reasonable accommodations. You can get a note from your doctor about the sleep issue and ask for a reasonable accommodation. It would be illegal for them to fire you.

I hate to be seen as using it as an excuse to blow off evening/night work, but I have had a few uncomfortably close calls so far.

I seriously think you need to consider a career change. In addition to late night work expectations, how are you going to handle nighttime travel delays/red eyes etc?

I agree with Accenture 1. Talk to your managers, counselor and SM. Accommodations should be made and also check to see if there is a diversity/inclusion group you can lean on for advice or support.

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
Please guide

You’d think that since HSV-2 affects 20% of Americans and likely a higher % of gay men, there would be less taboo but it’s hardly ever talked about. Anyone else in my shoes? Or had it disclosed to them?

Hello fishes.
I'm a fresher and I recently joined one of the big4 as a senior analyst.
I am given sap as my competency, but honestly I'm not finding it interesting. I was hoping to shift to data analytics(python, sql, etl, powerbi, advanced excel... Working with these techs).
I have knowledge in python and sql. I also have some development skills, reactjs and stuff(not relevant to data analytics).
Should I increase my skill set before starting to apply to other firms?

Hi all,
I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly. However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?
