Is anyone else trying to work on applications while half their brain is on holiday mode? I keep opening my laptop between family stuff and immediately losing motivation.

The apps are the hardest part - just grind though for a few weeks. Your entire life can change if you do it eight

Set aside 4 or however many dedicated hours for apps everyday, and dedicate the rest to family and fun. 4 hours of good work > 8 hours of half-hearted work, which leads to lower quality of work output and lower quality time with family.

By setting boundaries with a reward at the end, you'll finish what you need to — without becoming resentful towards the process. :)

Also, your app just needs to be 80-90% there to secure an interview. I regret being too much of a perfectionist, especially when it wasn't needed and my time could have been better spent elsewhere with a higher ROI.

Definitely a struggle. I was locked in my room most of the holidays last year due to apps. Definitely take a few days to relax but this is also go time

Did you send them any materials or bullets about yourself you wanted them to highlight?

Anyone ever have experience negotiating a new offer to include unvested 401k match and stock grants from your current employer?

Most likely getting fired, tips on how to find a job ASAP? I made a pretty big mistake that required supplemental filings with government offices to fix (missed some items when reviewing/comparing long lists of things across 20-30 years). It’s fixable and the client isn’t really getting hurt by this (worst case signing gets delayed), but my anxiety is telling me to prepare for the worst. Can I ask for extra time at the firm to find a new job (so I wasn’t “fired”)? Or should I go for severance?

Hi all

I am getting mails to report to office.
My base location does not have a hot seat.

Should this not be the focus from HR side to get a seat allocated rather than pushing employees to report to a random office that have a seat.?

And On top of that we have to take care of our own commute even when we are in shifts.

Why is this unprofessional and unethical behaviour?
Why is an employee responsible for everything which the HR and PMO is supposed to do??
