Six months ago my friend told me they were hiring at her firm. I wasn’t thrilled with where I was so I eventually left for that firm and I really regret it. While I like the people there I was very misled about the work volume and help I would have. I am still friends with people at my last place and the person who replaced me there is doing VERY poorly. One of my friends thinks there is a real possibility that I will be asked to come back.

How do you deal with the following - 1) lack of general organization in life, note taking, keeping track of your relationships and 2) attention to detail. These 2 things have been bothering me a lot. We all are smart as hell but silly mistakes such as spelling mistakes, broader checks to be done on the deck is killing me. Also I feel the lack of organization in personal life blows into professional as well. If you are a consultant how do u deal with it ?

Does NTT middle East hire temporary employees and if so is it trust worthy to Pursue that?

I feel like I am very naive and cannot read between the lines, so I can’t tell if someone is trying to fuck me over or not. This leads me to be extremely skeptical of others’ intentions, and makes me less confident that I can influence others, and in general really erodes my self-confidence. Does anyone else feel similarly? If so, how have you dealt with it?

Zero credit or thank you for the work I did.
