This may be just a naive/dumb question, but how do you relax when you’ve got a really stressful file? I’m a junior and I’ve been putting in ~10ish billable hours a day recently, which is more than I’m used to. The evenings (post-8pm) are generally my time to decompress - read a book, watch dumb tv, whatever - but it’s been all work lately until 10 or 11pm and I struggle to go straight from work to bed. Any insight on what everyone else does?

Was the advertising industry always such a sweatshoppy, bad WLB industry? Or is the more of a modern thing?

Should I move to another firm and take the higher pay (20% more) and do more work I’d enjoy doing and have better growth and long term career potential, while sacrificing my current title (would have to step down from associate to analyst), WLB, and team chemistry?

Hi Fishes,
I'm about to receive my offer letter from Bristlecone. I am getting hired for DevOps engineer with 4.8 YoE. How's the job security and work life balance?

Hey Fishes, Recently I got offer from Nokia.

Hi Fishes, How much hike & % of Variable pay NOKIA provides for JG-8 level employee. How is the facilities & WLB,job security in NOKIA.

How many hours a week are you working? I’m generally clocking about 50-60 and I’m exhausted. I’m busy, but it’s mostly because no one I work with has any boundaries.

Dear Fishes,

Can you help me give a bit of description of EXL? How is it in terms of WLb Job security and Growth and hike?

YoE - 5 years

Anyone work at Spotify or someplace similarly music-centric (Tidal, Apple Music)? What’s the lifestyle / WLB like? How’s your team?

Mulling over an offer to join Industry (Banking) - salary match at VP level (10+YOE) + discretionary bonus (FO role) + better WLB. Not seeing a path to promotion at current firm (rejection for multiple years with no specific/satisfactory reason provided - met delivery + sales KPIs - bad managers/backers). Thoughts?

Has anyone left big 4 or other PA firms tax transaction service groups for industry (or know of anyone)? What was the role and salary bump, how are annual bonuses/raises in industry, what is a typical work week (hours) like? I don’t think I can take this always on just to stay afloat life much longer. For context I am considered a high performer, am near the top of the salary band at my level and have a great supporting network at Deloitte. It’s just not worth it to have zero personal life.

I wonder if we’ll still have minimum billable hours if WWIII breaks out

I work for a specialized group in my litigation group and have had a wonderful experience and really respect and appreciate my boss, the co-chair of this specialized group. I’ve now accepted the opportunity to take over my parents business and plan to leave practice this summer. How do I even start this conversation with him? I’m sure I care a lot more than the group does, but I feel like because he went out of his way to really mentor and bring me into his group, i feel bad.
