Pune is on red alert . Any chances of getting work from home ?

I have couple of questions on leave policy.
1) do leaves get sandwiched? If i take friday and following monday then its 2 days or 4days?
2) if i do not have PL balance ( as joined mid year) in my bag can i still take those vacations and adjust with any other leave or may be adjust in the next year leave balance? I have 7 PLs and want 10-12 days as PLs.

Recently got my child's passport renewed. Child is minor so effectively a new passport. Here is the timeline, with just regular service.

6/2 Applied in person at the local county office
6/6 The application reached the State Dept
7/9 Got email that status changed to Approved
7/12 Received the new passport

End to end, a little more than 5 weeks. "Routine service can take 8-11 weeks" is the standard disclaimer. It's all good people!

I'm not hung up on PE/buy side exits, not closed off but nbd. Would be just as happy to stay and make MD (or exit into corp dev if I want an easier life when I'm older)

My dilemma:

I'm at a LMM investment bank. Can get crazy sometimes, but otherwise chill. Typically done around 7-9 pm, had maybe three 1 am nights. Haven't worked a weekend in over a month. Fridays almost always done at 5 pm.

Have an offer at a reputable MM bank but probably pretty sweaty. Worth the move?

I’ve heard electric cars aren’t actually as clean as they make them out to be since the electricity they use is still being produced by coal-powered plants. To what extent is this true? Is the reduced environmental impact worth the investment at this point in their development?

Woke up to the offshore team doing none of the work we gave them. Wonderful

People who are happy that the office is become WFH should reconsider. You stop building meaningful relantionships at home and things just become transactional
