Not sure if the nature of my work has changed or my brain has gotten worse, but over the past years have been mightily struggling to multitask many smaller initiatives and context switch rapidly. I feel overwhelmed, and the mental energy I spend trying to keep on top is disproportionately high compared to my actual output. I wish I could focus on a smaller number of difficult problems, tune out the meetings/pings etc

Any others feel the same way? Tips?

Just joined and not exactly sure if we have a time sheet we have to submit?!

I moved to the Netherlands 3 months ago on a spouse visa. Was working with EY-P earlier. I have been applying to jobs and giving interviews but for some reason things are not working out. I get a different reason everytime (after going through the whole process). This has never happened earlier in life and now I don't know what else to do. I have worked as a strategy consultant (& a researcher). Should I change lines? Where else can I try?
I can't apply to boutique firms since Dutch is mandatory

Do you think you and your significant other should have similar personalities? My significant other and I are doing long distance and I feel like when I FaceTime with him, I emote more and show interest by asking more questions but from his end, he doesn’t always have a reaction or just nods, and it makes me feel like he’s uninterested. On his end he sees it as he’s comfortable.

Hi Fishers,

What is the best time of the year to be in the notice period?
