Spoke to my wife. She says “can’t wait for Thursday so that you can take over child care”. I was like, wow every Thursday my client thinks the same “can’t wait for Monday”. Basically screwed everyday.

Welcome to life. It’s hard I understand but it is also a blessing. You could not have a family or wife or kids to go home to or a job on Monday. Some days you need a break but the wife is at home all week with no relief either. I help as much as I can when I get home and cherish the time I missed all week from all those hugs and sloppy kisses. Hang in there

Man it’s a tough gig... we are 3 months in to our first born. I just came back to work and wish I had not! I feel like the weekend should be shared a little, so at least each of you get a day off. I recommend talking to your partner (spouse). Explain that although you understand her job is 24/7 at home, for us project work when away can be like that too... there has to be balance and equality and that is best served when you can both get the rest you need (or at least a half day / a day each with time to decompress and relax etc.).

@ PE folks, do you think it’s weird if a new member of your Big Law team of lawyers sends you a LinkedIn request as soon as she starts working with you? Is it less weird if I wait?

I've been thinking about my career a lot lately. I feel like I've hit a wall, and I don't know how to get past it.

I've been at this job for almost 5 years now, and ever since the day I started, there have been problems with my coworkers. It's not just one person—it's everyone in my department, and they all seem to be working against each other instead of together. Should I leave?

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.

Hi All,can you please let me give me some idea about the following things:

1. what kind of technologies are used in Data Engineering projects in ANZ? Do they work with open source frameworks like Pandas, Pyspark etc. Or everything is done using their internal tools?

2. And is there any opportunity of internal project switch after 12-15 months if I want to work in some different tech stack?

3. How is the work-life balance and job security for people working in India office?

Hi Fishes,
My total experience is 5 in QA, I attended Deloitte interview. First round was technical and it went quite well, they asked lot of theory questions. I answered few and quite I was not sure of answers. She gave feedback like my communication and confidence level is good and project wise I'm having good knowledge and coming to concept wise it's not upto the mark for experience. So my query is will they call me for next round?I really wanna get selected since Deloitte is mydream company
