Hi all,
Does your organization have a good work-life balance, especially for IDs? Or do you know any such organisation? Currently I am working for more than 12 hours a day. I am a mother of one year old, hence, want to switch to the organization, which has less work pressure.
Wil be grateful to you for the suggestions. Accenture Cognizant MindTickle Encora IBM Infosys
"Need some help to understand and decide my career track."
I just began my career in ZS Associates at an associate level after completing masters from the USA. The reason to choose ZS was because of not having a lot of relevant work experience to land any data engineering/ analytics related job in Big Tech firms. Given that the technology is changing very drastically, and from work life balance perspective in the future, would it be wise to shift into tech companies asap before it's too late?
How is the change management practice at your firm? Is there WLB in this field? Thinking of applying for a few Change Management Specialist roles but really want to be in a practice that has decent WLB and nice people. I have a background in comms and am currently in tech industry :’) Accenture Deloitte EY PwC KPMG

My heart goes out to you. I can understand what you're experiencing. We're all trying to find that. I heard something encouraging about how people with ADHD tend to be multi-passionate and I felt better about not having it all figured out. I don't know if you've read about that or listened to any podcasts, but I highly recommend it. I found that information extremely encouraging. Also sending a hug!
Thank you! I've heard the term multi-potentialite, too..I just wish I could finish something I start 😅 at home all of the different interests are fun and have lead me to a lot of wonderful, interesting friendships with people from all walks of life which I'm grateful for. Career-wise I'm in a rut because I want to excel (and have probably put too much energy and identity in into my career trying to prove a point), but I can't imagine tracking and being responsible for more than I am now; I'm constantly in trouble for missing the marks as it is. I think I need to be in something more creative and less account management, but don't know where to start. This role/company expects me to do much more project management than I am used to and frankly, that is not my strength at all. It's like sitting in a room full of people speaking a different language with their hands tied so they can't even gesture what they mean!
Sending love and non judgment. You’re hurting and circling around the hurt right now. You’re more than this hurt and disappointment in yourself. You’re talented. You were hired for a reason.
Thank you. I need to put this affirmation on a post-it on my mirror!
Sending you a virtual hug. I really understand, but you're not failing. I'm sure your team has so many great things to say about you. Your inadequacies are all in your head. Hoping everything turns around for you.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I've gotten a lot of negative feedback from more senior people lately, but the people who work along side me most closely are supportive and seem to feel my value add. May just be the wrong office culture for me, but it's so hard to figure out what "right" is when you're like, I should be good enough for this one!
Sending love your way, OP! I am yet to find mine as well and throughout the process I have felt like a failure almost all the time. But then again, we don't have to figure things out right away. Otherwise, life would be so boring.
And boring is something I definitely cannot claim! Thanks for the kind words. It's so wonderful knowing I'm not alone and in the company of so many wonderful humans.
Never heard about this movie before. Judging by the way you wrote this post, The Distruptors is a great recommendation for me. Take care, OP!
You have to rent or buy it but I really recommend it. https://disruptorsfilm.com
My only complaint is that it's is mostly focused on childhood experiences and rasing kids with ADHD, particularly boys. There is a small side story about one mother who was diagnosed after her son, and a lot of inspirational dropins from famous ADHD folks like Howie Mandel, Scott Kelly, Ty Pennington, Jillian Michaels, will.i.am, Terry Bradshaw, Steve Madden, etc. Talking about how they've embraced it after what they struggles through as kids.
It's so relatable regardless and I realize a lot of the chip on my shoulder comes from early experiences and being misunderstood or thought to be lazy or an airhead throughout my life. I would love for a deeper dive documentary into adult struggles for us not-yet-famous folks 😉
