Very bad behaviour of pwc
They asked details for interview by third party recruiting team.
And then after 1 2 weeks, didn't ask me for a date and time, booked the slot themselves.
And I thought that maybe I can try and adjust, but when I attended the interview, no one actually joined the interview.
I stayed for 15 minutes.
I mailed the HR 2 times since then, but no response. This is so unprofessional PwC PwC India

Breathe and take a walk.. as your first step. You are trying to calm your brain and make some space to think.
You are in a team ? Your issues are probably very visible and causing stress within the project’s team. Talk with your team.
I had a mentor who called this type of meeting a “come to Jesus” or “9 pregnant women in a room for 1 month does not make a baby”. He also liked other colorful phrases like “that dog don’t hunt” or “stop playing Sisyphus the rock is never going to roll to the hilltop”
As a team acknowledge reality... and close some doors. Sometimes limiting the scope of a project makes a project more successful. And maybe it would be good for the project to be abandoned. Or maybe there is a better approach for the work.
i would say try to be as direct/honest as possible about what you realistically think you can get done in the given timelines. if your team is not supportive and just piles unmanageable work onto your plate... then maybe they are not bridges worth keeping? is there anyone on your team or just any coworker that you feel you can discuss this with?
Don’t worry about burning bridges just for leaving work on the table. There is always work to be done so it will never feel like there is a good time to leave. If/ when you do leave, just don’t say or do anything stupid that would burn bridges
All of this is really solid advice. I've found that the best way to get through these situations is to set goals for what you want to get out of the experience. That helps you manage the craziness of what you're getting into.
Organize an event during the day or in the evening. Order food (&drink) for everyone (grub hub home delivery these days?).
If it’s ‘zoom’, get everyone to close down everything on their computer but the meeting so the meeting is the focus. Then talk, what’s working, what’s not. You may be surprised that almost nothing that you say will be a surprise to anyone there.
Ask for solutions, ask for help prioritizing, just ask for help - does anyone want to take on being a section/mini-project lead? Stress nothing is off the table and no repercussions apart from piss taking for really dumb s*.
Record the session and write up the ideas and formulate a plan to go up the chain with.
A good leader does not try and do it all themselves. A one-man-band is not scalable and the results ore often poor.
