Just got extended for 8 more months. Suuuuuuper boring, 10-15 hour work week. Was going to jump ship after Manager promo. With slow down, guess I’ll hang tight until next summer. What do you all think: apply and interview for industry or play video games and watch TV?

industry would be data or fintech.

Stay. Relax. Reevaluate.
Spend that time on valuable stuff that will pull you ahead. Stay accountable and hit all your other goals like perfect-10 body, family, hobbies, skills, etc. Free time is a rare luxury that shouldn't be taken for granted.

This is helpful. Been on a grind to make manager for so long. Hard to stop.

i’ve been playing video games and chilling from 2020 - now (literally maybe 4 hrs of work a day and never once worked fridays) but took random interviews to stay fresh that whole time period and just got an offer for a fintech with another coming up -shrug- do both lol.

no regrets. cleared out the giant backlog of games i’ve been wanting to play and now am bored of games and getting ready to start a new job with renewed focus.

Despite the chill workload would you still be online Monday thru Friday and chained to your laptop? If so, then the chill life ain’t worth it. If not, by all means, that would be the dream..

Exact same situation, following to see what they say

If you’re a manager, shouldn’t you be diving head first into pursuits? I’d use this as an opportunity to cut your teeth in the sales process. You’re fully billable with bandwidth.

Also see merit in chilling - but luckily BD is quick cycles so take a break whenever you want.

Thanks everyone. Decided to put myself as busy at 2pm and head to playground with kids. Just laying in grass while they play. Hard to believed I used to work waaaaay more hours for half the pay.

Hi Everyone. I completed my 1 year in EY in October 2022. And in my profile, they have updated it to Senior Analyst now. But that was a progression that happens every year and I have not received the incremented salary.

Now that they are giving increments to everyone, will I receive both progression and increment or my progression will be counted as increment.

Highly confused.
