I’m burnt out after 1 year post-UG in a supposedly “WLB-friendly” area of my firm. Is this normal? And yes, I’ve tried switching projects and taking PTO, neither worked.

Honestly no, I don’t think that’s normal. Maybe this isn’t what you’re meant to be doing.

Thanks for the advice D2. Honestly the people aren’t the problem here, actually my managers and teammates have been pretty nice for the most part. It’s more that the nature of the work puts me to sleep. I’ve preferred things that are faster-paced. I’ll look into other opportunities (inside and outside of Deloitte).

My partner of 5 years ended our relationship last night. I’m shattered and feel absolutely sick, and I know the healing isn’t going to be easy. We were on the verge of an engagement and I was ready to spend the rest of my life with him.

I don’t know how to approach work during this time. I think I can get by, but I’m definitely not 100%. Should I talk to my boss about it? My team is close-knit and comfortable around each other, but I don’t know if it’s “appropriate.” What would you do?

How much stock do you put on benefits? I have two offers with stark differences in benefits. Job 1: role I want, but benefit sucks (2 weeks paternity leave, 20% coinsurance). Job 2: role is okay but higher level and great benefits (16 weeks paternity, 0% coinsurance, 5 more days of vacation). Total comp is the same though. I wonder if I should just focus on role but Job 2 is a large company, so I can move around after 2-3 years I’d expect. Thoughts?
