How do you deal with burnout? I’m just not feeling it anymore. I keep thinking time off will help but I’m not so sure because it’s winter and not as nice outside up north. I’ve been working for 16+ years with the longest break between jobs at 7 weeks. Never take more than a week off at a time. Any tips? Should I say anything to the partners I assist? Should I say anything to my supervisor?

Hi fellow desi fishes! Assuming most of us in North America gets 20 days of vacations annually, how do you plan for your visits to India.

After several reschedules, I was finally confirmed with the actual dial-in information ;) for two days 5 interviews. I did the first one with the hiring manager and someone shadowing him. Interviewers did not show up for the second two meetings on the schedule. Not sure what to do at this point. This is AWS. Folks are saying they went through the process pretty quickly. I feel like I already lost a huge amount of time getting the save the date and then taking time off from work.

What's the story with KF Holiday parties this year? Are they truly being cut back?

I’ve worked at places that all have different holiday policies. EA has at minimum a nice 10 day shutdown from Christmas Eve through New Years. It’s great to know that there will be no slack messages or an exploded inbox to come back to while away. I’ve been at other studios that only give you Christmas Eve & Day and New Years Eve & Day and then the rest is up to you to request for PTO and this is obviously the suck.

Wonder what it’s like for you?

I'm assuming I'm not the only one about to go into their busiest season. How do you manage the craziness of the holiday season for your small business? I'm hiring seasonal staff for Nov-Feb.

Does anyone know how taxes work if you move to a new state after selling? Do you pay the state tax to the tax you moved to or the state where you sold before moving? Basically trying to figure out if I should stay in Florida for the rest of the year or if it’ll be fine to move to nyc after selling (ny and nyc tax alone would be in the five figures)

Am I late? From AZ here. Filed N-400 form fro naturalization after 5 years with green card in April 2020. Did my fingerprints in May 2021. Nothing heard from the office for the interview. It has been more than 5 months. I am worried why the process is getting so slow in AZ. Sending letters but the status in my USCIS account is. “Nothing outstanding ... the case is under review “ What should I do?

How far do you require depts be with negotiating commercial contract terms before your legal review? I’m talking routine low value and risk contracts (e.g., vendor services), where Legal terms won’t kill the deal. My clients blindly forward contracts. I say “are you sure this term is ok?” And often get “no.” They’re surprised because they never read them. Checking the temp to see what others experience, what might be normal. I feel contract training in my clients’ future...

I know this bowl seems to be all photos 😍 but serious question for all you hard-working, king-hours dog owners out there... do you ever feel guilty about how much you're working and leaving your pup at home alone? How do you get over that guilt? Do you use doggie daycare every day or just a few times a week? Do rely on a roommate or SO to help? I'm a single lady and would LOVE to get a pup this year but am fighting the guilty feelings, so any advice would be much appreciated!

I’m expecting to go on maternity leave this summer, but I hate working at my current company. The work is uninspiring, the people are mediocre and I feel myself torn between quitting and finding a new job, but possibly losing paid leave, OR, sticking it out and taking mat leave then quitting. Any advice or insights?

Are there any other agencies similar to Springhill and Translation that actually feel like they create work that exists in real-life culture? They don’t even need to be in the US but anywhere in the world. So curious as I would love to work towards companies like those one day.

Help me find this spot pls: from a few years ago, mayyybe out of Brazil, for (I think) a snack food. It “encourages” parents to buy said food by reminding them that their kids will someday have the power to put them in a nursing home. And the kids are all like creepy little mafiosos. I loved it and want to watch it again.
