I used to have a solid friend group—weekly game nights, weekend trips, the whole thing. Then consulting happened. Now, I’m on the road four days a week, glued to client calls when I’m home, and barely have the energy to text people back. I’ve missed birthdays, weddings, even just casual hangouts because work always comes first. At this point, I feel like a ghost in my own life. Has anyone actually found a way to balance consulting with a social life? Or do you just accept that your real friends now are hotel bartenders and Slack notifications?

A friend of mine works with TCS as an Analyst, his base location is Bengaluru but he is been working from his hometown in Lucknow since the first COVID lockdown.

Hi friends of fishbowl! A year ago I told myself no more agencies. Then I got a job at another agency and I’m basically hating my life more than ever right now. This place is not good for me mentally and I’ve only been here for 90 days. I should’ve listened to my gut but here we are. So my question is what job titles should I be targeting as a senior project manager if I want to go to to client side?

I started a new job, and moved to a new city about 7 months ago. Honestly, I’m not happy. I like my company’s culture, but not what we do. I tried to stay a float , but just can’t. I’m in a place of leadership, and they have me in a lot of projects I have no interest in. Current salary is 75k and I have a contract offer(aligned with my passion) for $50hourly(roughly 100k). I’m prepared to sublet and move back home, but I’ll lose benefits. What would you do in my position?

I am asked during this RE analyst interview to build a real estate model from scratch. My background is commercial banking and I am used to analyzing real estate deals from the lender side not the developer. The interviewer is generous I must say he’s giving me a few days to complete. However this model is for a ground up multifamily development. I have no prior experience building one. I can find models online but all very complexe to reproduce. How would you handle? Do you have model to share?

I work heavily in AWS and am looking to learn another cloud platform. I have zero knowledge of azure and gcp and would like input on which to learn. Azure would make sense since its the second largest in terms of market share, but GCP seems far more interesting and technically challenging with things like Kubernetes and BigQuery.

I always thought of Oracle as the evil empire, but for real, what's it like working for them?
