I’m trying to get out of Deloitte because busy season is more than half of the year. And I am in tax so I can’t spend summers with my kids. I have kids under 10 yr old and I am missing out in their lives. I could stay and try to make PPMD but my kids will basically live their childhood without a dad. My PPMD tells me that I am on PPMD track but I feel like they just want me to not quit. Is this just a wishful thinking, to quit and find a regular hour job and spend more time family?

Personally, I think you likely have enough brand capital to still land a job that provides well for your family while still allowing you spend time with your kids.

So what are the alternatives? Have you sought those out to see what's viable? Kids don't usually appreciate the paycheck.. they just want you present. Might be worth at least laying out the alternatives, or rearranging your present situation to find small opportunities where you can spend meaningful time with them periodically

I'm at Deloitte GPS Consulting. Many Federal projects have wonderful WLB. I'd suggest try switching to public sector while the kiddos are young find a tax/audit project.

Thanks.

I've been searching for a new job because I know I am underpaid. I have 12+ years of experience in the event industry and seven years in the Event Tech world. I interviewed with Netflix, Amazon, and Microsoft. I went through all the stages, but I was not selected. Any advice? I think I did great in all my interviews; my resume is solid, and I have four university degrees including a Master’s. I speak English and Spanish. Any advice of what my problem might be?

I’ve always gotten the advice that when you want to switch jobs you should take interviews from places you’re not actually interested in, so you can understand your value in the market and have better negotiating power.

I’m doing that rn - took a couple interviews to gauge my skills, my market value, and see what I need to work on for interviews that I actually care about.

However, I feel really guilty about wasting their time and going all the way knowing I’ll just say no at the end. Wwyd?

Does it ever make you wonder why we have so many man made sects/denominations of christianity?

They are all denominations of sects that started with a man/woman disagreeing with an original church (e.g whether it be Catholic or Orthodox).

I mean we have Jehovahs witness, baptist, Anabaptist, Evangelical, independent, pentecostal, lutheran and the list goes on and on and on.

Its either God says only one is right and the rest were teaching false religions or we all go to heaven.

Someone recently asked me if I would have still chosen to be Christian if I hadn’t been born into a Christian family. Like, if I was born in Pakistan to a Muslim family and found out about Christianity later in life, would I have known it was the right path? It’s been shaking my faith, even though I don’t want it to…
