I am Offered 29.5fixed by PwC for SA (L2). Currently on 25fixed. Should I join ? In terms of WLB.! My current employer on fishbowl shows Deloitte but have left Deloitte a year back. Currently in a firm with good WLB but PWFH is a big win for me that PwC is offering.
Any guidance or fist hand experience sharing is highly appreciated.

We are so close. Final stretch. Let’s go 🔥
I'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.
I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.
Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
DM me for a referral!

No, I do not feel like there is genuine care in our well being or balance. With respect to flexibility, admin has become strict to the letter of the contract. In the past, we could leave early or come in late for appointments and if it was 30 mins or less, we would not be docked. Now we are forced to take 1/2 a sick day, or the whole day. They don’t want to keep track of hours and minutes, so it is take the 1/2 day! I hate this, as it makes more work for me, with having to make sub plans and it creates stress for my paras who have to be my coverage with no support. So, I just make all appointments for school vacation weeks and summer, or for 4 pm. Morale is low here. Very few people sign up for or go to the end of the year party. Only the young new teachers go. The rest of us would rather go home !

I'm so sorry to hear that. I have definitely worked jobs like that where you are not respected. I can understand why you wouldn't want to go to the party.

I definitely do not have a good work/life balance. I just can't seem to find the uuuumph to walk away at the end of the day!
We usually have a last day get together where a lot of the teachers go to a local pup and have food and drinks. I do not drink alcohol, so I usually don't go, but I hear many of our teachers get pretty wasted.

I have had the same problem as far as work parties ! I also get left out due to not drinking. I really hope you can find a better balance.
