I’m so tired of working such long hours I am considering taking a part time job so I can have more balance in life. I’ve been trying to find a new full time job that would allow me more work life balance, but every company I’ve interviewed for shows no work life balance according to reviews. Has anyone ever made the switch and gone part time temporarily?

Yes, I wonder what today’s company thinking is. If there is any thinking (lol). Health is not something you hear. I’m 65 years old and I’ve seen a change in hiring practices.

Right?! I feel like I’m going crazy trying to ask for some balance. I’ve done a good job saving that I could afford the lower income for a while.

👍👍

😆 🤣 same reason I up and quit my driving career and starting working on my business plan full time. No work-life balance

Final round! Panel interview w an assignment to present some ideas on how to increase customers for 1 of 5 key audience segments.
I’m most familiar with 1 as it’s the audience I work with at current job. Not enough info/experience with other 2 segments. Remaining segments I know enough but not as confidently.

Will it look like I took the easy way out if I chose my segment? They know it’s my current audience and has been for 8 yrs. Would love to hear your thoughts!

I interviewed for KPMG on 11/15 for a Senior role and the HR emailed me on 11/16 that everyone liked me but they think I should be hired as an Experienced Associate. I had a call with the HR on 11/17 wherein we discussed about my salary expectations and the HR said he will get back in a day. It’s been more than 10 days and multiple follow ups but still no response. I don’t think I was rude while talking to the HR, I just told my current salary and asked for min. that no. Did i miss the chance ?
