Thoughts on normalizing 4.5 day work weeks? I think most companies could get by on 4 day, but seems like we aren’t there yet. But I feel ending at noon on Friday as the norm is doable for most industry companies (maybe not professional services)

Sounds great! We’ll be coupling that change with a 10% pay cut since you’re working 90% of the hours. By the way, we really need that to have that meeting on Friday afternoon, unless you don’t want your bonus. Make sure to take your PTO (unless there is client work, which there always is)! -Leadership

Industry could easily get there, especially in most areas of finance. That is unless companies use it as an excuse to not pay you for that extra half day

Friend in defense has every other Friday off (9 hour days to make up for it, though she often works longer hours). She loves it. My company has no meeting Friday’s which are amazing and effectively function as an off day. I still need to get the work done, but on my timeline.

I think if consultants can set the expectation with clients it would be fantastic.

On the 9/80 schedule too and I love it

I recently started my first post-college job as a software developer and have to make a decision pretty soon: front-end development or back-end development.

My dream would be to do full stack but thats not an option. Scared of getting pigeon holed. Any suggestions as to what to do / tips?

Is there irony in the fact that HR and leadership of sales organizations ghost candidates? The very people that stress over prospects disappearing turn around and do the same thing to people they've interviewed 2, 3, or more times.

I had given Accenture interview on 5th March and on the same day got an email that I cleared the round then salary discussion also happened. But then they didn't release the offer. In the portal status went to " owing to business reasons we foresee some delay in processing your candidature". Also then after multiple followups got an update from HR that they don't have any requirements for the position. Now it's been more than a month what should I do ? Any suggestions would definitely help.
