Productive hours you work per day? 2 years in into Consulting and I average 2 hours of productive work per day. Lots of waiting for information, onboarding, training, etc. Is this normal?

Dirty secret of consulting is if you find a good niche you basically never have to “work” north of 40 hours a week, however you do need to be a master at delegating.

Crowe1 - It was a joke, like this post!

Hmm 2 hours Sound like there are some issues. Are the tasks boring ? Do you feel empowered enough ? Do you need help to focus on the right staff ? Do you need someone to help you with a clear instructions what to do ?

12 hours of productive work is I think a good and reachable goal. Sometimes it’s 11 some days it’s 16-18, but of course you can’t sustain 18 over longer time.

During my tenure at TCS, I hadn't linked Aadhaar with UAN because the aadhaar mandate was happening around the time of my resignation.. After resigning from TCS, I took a 3 year break from my job for personal reasons.
In the meantime, EPFO had migrated most of the processes from offline to online.
Then i joined EY where I was told that it was my responsibility to link aadhaar with UAN.
Further, I can't see any entry from EY in my PF passbook. I can see the TCS entry but can't mark my exit.

Will vs Trust:

Which do you use (if any estate planning) and why? Recently talked with a layer on getting a will and they are trying to steer me to a trust.

Demographics for ref: 30, live in GA, unmarried, no kids, no real estate (yet, planning to buy after market cools). I don’t envision I’ll amass a ton of physical assets over my life so really just need to say where my various $ accts go (401k, pension, IRA, etc)

Trust cost was $2,900. Didn’t give price for will.
