That’s extremely atypical. Is it possible you were so low level you didn’t have to assist?

How are ya’ll working 60 hrs?! In busy season I never work more than 50-55 and off season I average 35.

Ironically, isn’t some of the reason PA is so difficult because industry doesn’t want to work hard. Never been in PA but what I have heard. 🤣

Not because industry doesn't work hard. That's a joke they spread to make you feel good about the overwork they make you do. Industry works extremely hard, just have boundaries with our time. We have bosses and hard deadlines and high expectations placed on us just like everywhere else.

We should all say goodbye on anything more than 40 hours because unpaid overtime is like slavery.

Inverse relation ship in my experience. Last year I was offered an hourly job paying $30/hr and a salary job of approx $27/hr expecting 45 hours.

Good luck! I get to put my 2 weeks notice in today in preparation for doing the same thing you are. Nervous as all heck

Wish you the best for the future. Welcome to the other side..
hours - Depends on your role.. if Reporting - then month end , spcly - qtr end, year end (based on company size) would be busier, but nothing crazy. Would be a learning curve but after a certain time you’ll feel comfortable.. if timesheets were the bane of your existence, you’ll be much relieved there isnt a similar scene. The major things you need to be at your top game is in building connections, being a culture fit, providing Value addition thru your role (finding efficiencies, trying to resolve the pain points of your seniors).
If you read books, then one book that can help you - no matter what the level of your role - ‘The First 90 Days’.

Yes, book is still applicable.. like the Dale Carnegie books that came out ages ago.
Hope it helps, it did for me :)

I have never worked 50 or 55 hous a day

Random confession: My husband has been in the US for 5 yrs & currently on his second consulting firm working as a Java Software Engineer. English is his second language and I am always amazed at how he conducts himself during meetings when he has to explain his technical work. Consulting can be hard and mentally draining at times. I’ve always been my own worst critic but watching him work from home during the pandemic has given me the motivation to always try my best and give myself grace.

Hi

I resigned Epam Anywhere last week because I am on bench since 2.5 month , package in EPAM Anywhere was 32.40 lpa fixed .

Started looking outside and got opportunities.

Two offers:

Citi bank- 3277000 fixed

Mastercard- 308000(including 2.80lakhs variable)

I am really confused between these two companies, I heard WLB is very good in Mastercard, but again their salary difference is too much.

Kindly suggest its Urgent.

PE interests me but I don’t understand why anyone would want to consistently work 65+ hours a week every week. What’s the appeal? Making double the pay? What’s the exit plan?

Hi fishes,

I think I am slipping into depression. My life seems to have no meaning and all I do is work. I don't get time for myself or my family, friends and loved ones. But I can't leave my job and take a break as I need the financial support.

I also feel I am earning way less than my peers which makes me feel like a loser. 4.5 years of work-ex and 16LPA.

What should I do? I need good wlb but also need money badly.
