I joined Ericsson last December as a Java
developer, 5.8yoe, 13lpa. The promise of
good work life balance brought me here
However, I'm now in a project where I got
no KT, there are no instructions for local
setup, no proper docs for application
urls, codebase etc, and I find myself
wasting time over figuring out things on
my own. Also there are too many calls
in a day. I easily find myself working for
over 10-12 hours everyday. I'm mentally
breaking down, how do I deal with this?

Talk to your line manager regarding the calls.
I’m sure he is gonna listen to what you have to say.
For rest of the things, yea sometimes it’s hard to find proper documents or videos regarding the project. You can also tell him, that you are struggling with it.
As far as the time goes, don’t sit for more than 9 hrs. If there are any calls or anything beyond 9hrs, just decline it and if someone questions, then let them know the reason also.
If no-one listens, just talk to the HR.

Switch...talking to manager is always hectic

Again, he was not a permanent employe. Also, he can ask the company via which he joined Ericsson as a contractor.
Yes, cost cutting is one of primary reasons as permanent employees cost way less than any contractor any day. And contractors are only needed when required as per the demand.

It's common actually, I joined a couple of years ago with roughly same experience and was able to settle in quickly thanks to amazing colleagues and an approachable LM.
People here are very open so don't be afraid to speak up if you're facing issues. Also it helps if you're good at your job because then you gain recognition by peers, that opens a lot of doors.

I have an interview with Korn Ferry for an associate principal role and am curious about others’ experiences have been with work-life balance here. Also, I have an idea of what I should be compensated in this type of role, but any insights on how they pay compared to others would be helpful. Are you traveling during the pandemic or have client interactions been virtual? Lastly, if you are a consultant here, are you on billable hours? My current consulting role is not - so this would be new.

Wish apps like BetterHelp were free. I can’t afford healthcare or therapy (I’m unemployed, and yes, I’ve tried seeking pro bono therapy options — no place anywhere nearby offers it.) I really need a therapist I can talk to on at least a weekly basis to just unpack so much that’s bogging me down to the point of being unable to function some days, but it’s just so cost prohibitive! What sucks is everyone assumes this career hands you median wages on a platter but I’m worse off than I’ve ever been.
