My partner is suffering from really bad depression and anxiety and it's so hard to concentrate on work when my home life is what needs the most attention. Wish I could take time off to help make him better.

Is work life balance better at Accenture or Big 4?

I’m curious to know if anyone has experience working part-time in architecture? I have been working for large international firms in NYC for the past 10 years. So I work all day every day. My evenings and often the weekends are all absorbed by work duties. Working part-time would allow me to find a better balance, and carve out space for side gigs and eventually start my own firm. Any recommendations?

Alright how many of you have hit up your ex since quarantine? Mine unfollowed my on everything so I congratulated him on LinkedIn for his promotion

Is going to a small firm actually worth it for WLB or is it just taking a pay cut to have substantially the same hours/stress levels? Considering a move to a smaller firm for mental health but not sure if it’ll end up being more of the same.

I’m trying to get a Financial Analyst position and I heard back from Deloitte for the EFA (Enganemnt Financial analyst) role. I have no experience as an analyst so I figured this could be good way for me to break in. Does anyone have any experience from this practice? Salary/wlb/career path. I figure at the very least I can use the it for good foot in the door and a decent exit opp, as I know big 4 is notoriously a 2-3 year gig

Does anyone see a shift in the industry wherein less emphasis is placed on billiable hours? I used to work at a firm where the average stint for an associate is 1 year or less. They lost clients as the clients got sick of seeing a new associate on their files every 6 months. The founding partner was near retirement so his goal was to maximize revenue rather than long term career development. I don’t see this as sustainable especially given millennial culture emphasis on work-life balance.

Hi, does anyone work at Coupa? What is the WLB and team like? Thank you.

Traveled for the first time this week since COVID and got the dreaded “do you have kids?” question at team dinner. Him-“do you have kids?” Me- “No, I don’t.” Him-“Oh good! That’s the right choice!!” Me (awkwardly)- “I still have time… I’m not even 30 yet!” (Team member who knows about our 3 month and 6 month miscarriages looking on with THE saddest face) Ughhhh. He had absolutely no idea and meant well since everyone was talking about their kids but gosh…I wish this didn’t have to be a thing😩

Why is the working system built in a way that forces children to be raised on their own? Why has this not changed to accommodate our current circumstances (working men and women)? My partner and I are thinking about having kids but it seems almost impossible to do without child care which seems VERY expensive. We have very little family here that can help us... How do working people do it?

ETA: Is the work-life balance really that bad in consulting?

I'm seriously considering moving from an internal role to a consulting role because (1) it'll help me break into a cybersecurity role from sysadmin role (2) get away from a toxic coworker who I absolutely dread working with when I have to and just takes a toll on my mental health.
