I need your help!
Hello everyone,

I've recently relocated to the Toronto area in Canada. My background is in architecture, and I also have experience in marketing.

I'm curious about the nature of architectural jobs here in Canada, in terms of work-life balance. Are they demanding and do they frequently require overtime hours? Can I pursue studies while working full-time? I'd appreciate your insights on this matter.

TIA

So i work at this company in coimbatore (india) and we have a very poor work life balance. We have a 6 day working policy and no vacation or sick leaves just 1 day casual leave a month. We usualy had to work around 10 to 12 hrs and no leaves even during govt holidays. How can i make them understand this is killing our personal life. I have already shared a couple of emails to hr and CFO of our company to no avail. Please advice on what should I do next
