I’ve hit the funk/fog while many times. It’s different for everyone. The one thing that works nearly every time is to walk outdoors daily for 30-60 minutes, if you can. Verbal, small gratitude lists also help. And treating it like it’s helping your colleagues, if you like them, helps sometimes too. That said, sometimes life just brings you the feels. Hope it gets better.

feel you!! always helps me to revisit a book i’ve always loved or watch one all of my stupid favorite movies. just taking time to ground myself in the things that make me happy and feel inspired. and waking up super early just to look at things i like/actually explore my work away from the pressure of coworkers online and chats and emails.

Hi fishes, I attempted an interview for software engineer post at Amdocs. I cleared the first round of interview and later contacted the recruiter for the same. The recruiter replied by saying they will let me know once panel will be available.

Can anyone guide me and help me with the same?

I'm a third year plaintiff's employment law attorney and I'm looking to move to defense, preferably still in employment law. I received an offer from a midsize firm that primarily focuses on PI with little-to-no employment law practice, so I'll have a bit of a learning curve. Offer is $90k, billable hours of 2100. Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.

Hi everyone!
Debating between an offer from 200 employee company vs
Zoom (the company).
The smaller company has good benefits, great wlb and a great culture per Glassdoor reviews. But its an HR software and not easy to sell.
Compensation is similar.
Never worked in a big company like zoom before, what are the pros, and the drawbacks?
