Self care today for me looks like a slow morning with a big breakfast before I dive into deep thought work. As an adhd’er, it’s so easy to let the chaos and urgency of to do lists consume me and make me wake up and want to dive right in, but I’m rejecting that sense of urgency today. I can slow down for one day.

What are you doing today to pause and take a moment for yourself?

Why does Deloitte pays such a low compensation compared to its peers? And also if you compare the salaries to US it’s too low and very less bonuses. Just curious to know

Some Business Intelligence/Analyst roles are very data heavy. I wonder why these roles do not have the term “data” in them, and wonder if it’s to keep the salary lower than it should be. I have colleagues doing intense data science tasks as BI Analysts, and can’t help but feel indignant on their behalf because when hearing their job title, one would underestimate their technical ability.

I would appreciate some advice on my situation below.
About three months ago, I was applying to find a new job. A month later, I got an offer, came work for this firm. I am not feeling like this would be a great environment for me. So I accepted a job interview this week but when I sent them the resume was 3 months ago so i didnt have my current job on there. Should I tell them my job has changed since? I am worried that if i dont tell them, they will find out when doing background check.

Can anyone at Monitor clarify what overtime pay looks like? How often do Cs actually qualify? Recruiter gave a pretty cookie cutter answer. Would appreciate some insight. Thanks

One of the things that my ADD coach helped me with was realizing that I wasn’t prioritizing activities that help me feel recharged. Between work and home responsibilities, I was just burnt out and overwhelmed.

So now when I start to get burned out I focus on reducing auditory overwhelm, getting outside, listen to music, get comfortable, read a fun book, etc.

As we’re heading into the weekend, what are some things you do to recharge and give yourself a break?
