I heard that MC professionals in PwC US Advisory and Deloitte USI S&O work for 12+ (sometimes 16 hours) a day. How are you guys able to manage this? Don't you get frustrated working for so long and with minimal work life balance?

I know it is 12+ for sure. Projects + Internal admin work + reinvest work + hiring / interviews. Damn the grind never ends. You will be lucky to find a project which gives you a breather. Also, if you don't do the so called extra curriculars... Chances of promotion are less.

So I work as an assistant manager at a restaurant for the past 9 months. I've worked in restaurants for the past 6 years science I was 16. Now I'm 22. I went to a trade school for media and film.

Should I take the chance at this job and leave the restaurant that is on the rise and growing?

Design question for my work from home ladies - how did you decorate around a standing desk, large monitors, etc?

I find that with a large monitor there’s not so much I can put on the wall without having the monitor partially cover it - especially when the desk moves.

I don’t mind if the decor is covered when I’m using it standing, but want it to look nice when it’s lower down. Also find that with the monitor/laptop another square on the wall is too much of the same shape - any inspiration?
