I'm feeling stuck right now. After almost a year at the same firm, the long hours (80+) and poor management of current projects are starting to get to me. I know a new project could help, but I see no end in sight. Consulting seemed like the answer after I found working in industry to be boring, but now I'm so frustrated that I'm not thriving. How can I manage this... or should I start planning a fulfilling exit?

You’re definitely not alone. I used to think I just needed to stick it out for one more project or promotion. But when I stopped pretending the stress was temporary, I realized I deserved better. If you’re even asking whether to plan an exit, it might be time to listen to that voice.

Hi,
Need some advice. My pet had been eating his kebble food on a consistent basis. Then I introduced a bit of raw chicken into his kebble and loved having it even more. But now I'm realizing that if I don't add chicken, he just doesn't eat his regular kebble food. What should I do? (Don't want to feed chicken every day)
