Media moves so fast that even when one big project wraps, another seems to appear immediately. There’s rarely that “quiet” period to catch your breath. I sometimes wonder if the industry just runs on constant motion. Do you ever manage to find slower moments, or is the pace always full-on for you too?

It's interesting to read about the newspaper business in the mid-1800s, when you had people like Horace Greeley and James Gordon Bennett essentially inventing the media world we know today. For them, the pace was relentless. And if you actually read their publications, it's fascinating to see how much material they contained. I think the industry has just always run at high speed and always will. Each individual can take time to relax when not working, but the industry will always be in, as you say, constant motion.

This is so interesting, I have to admit I used to be jealous of people who had more downtime but actually I like the fast pace of my job

I think that's one of my favorite parts of the industry, to be honest. I came from another industry that has a lot of downtime and I didn't like it at all. I always felt like my job wasn't safe because there wasn't enough work to do. I don't feel that way right now.

I get this, previously we had a period of time where there wasn’t much going on and I felt like the days definitely went a lot slower

Hello fine people,
I have a question. I am a GDS employee wishing to relocate to another country as EY country “x” employee. The plan to relocate to country x was already in motion, if not EY then another org. The EY partner from country x is very interested in having me join their team but not sure about my GDS partner because they will be losing billing and may not like it. Is there a way I can approach this with my leaders? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Journalism is the best job in the world but I feel like people are less likely to take my work seriously because I am female. So it's like they automatically think the only things I would be good at writing about are fluffy little human interest stories. I'm just a reporter like everyone else. Is there some way I can tell my supervisor that yes, I do like those stories, but I like being a serious reporter even more?

One of my direct reports has asked about going part time. They currently manage special reports in a bi-weekly publication, working closely with sales, freelance writers, and an internal designer.

Has anyone had experience with job sharing in this type of a role?
