My daughter keeps saying it's "take your daughter to work day" and it makes me laugh just thinking about how it would go. I enjoy my work but I truly believe that if I take her with me she will not enjoy it and then I am stuck entertaining her rather than getting the things I need to complete, done. It sure would be fun to try and explain my job/show her what I do, though. I'm sure a 7-year-old would be incredibly interested. Has anybody else taken their young child to work and was it successful or just stressful?

I know exactly what you mean. I have an energetic ten year old when I have to bring him to the office I'm always on the edge making sure they're okay

How young is your child? I brought my seven year old to work. I had to keep her entertained with snacks, videos, and presentations

I can see your apprehension. My job is just being on the phone all day. I have no idea what I would do with my four year old

That would be a great idea. How old is she, btw? Just give her a chance to observe your work.

I understand your point. This will be my primary concern as well. But I think it's okay to give them a warning or a heads-up. Haha

Mine would probably lose interest after 15 minutes. I understand her curiosity but she also has quite a temper. Lol

You need to make a deal with her. Make her promise not to throw a fit if things become boring. Well, I suppose your daughter is well-behaved :)

Sure! Why not? It's actually cool that she's interested in your work.

Hello Fishes,

So far I received offers from PwC India, Capgemini and Lexmark for Data Engineering.

More are in pipeline from KPMG GS, TechM, Accenture.

But one peculiar thing is happening. I have appeared for 4 Cognizant interviews but in all I have been rejected. Whereas most of my friends had easily cleared Cognizant. I am switching tech, so I am a bit concerned like whether my knowledge is too shallow😐
