Sometimes I think my perfectionist autistic ass prevents me from progressing in my career or making more money. I often refrain from taking on work I think I can't get to an acceptable/professional level. Or accomplish on time. Meanwhile, I get vendors who constantly delay timelines to deliver things far from the work they display in their books.

And they are getting paid.

Hang in there. Take alt the work you can get. Odds are you’re better than you think you are. Easy for me to say, try not to be a perfectionist. There is no perfect. I cared deeply about work of the copywriters and art directors I managed. Sometimes good is good enough. Good luck

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out.

Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

We use Deloitte India for a number of parts of our delivery. Recently I have seen some unethical practices that violate labor laws and do not align with Deloitte principles.
