Walmart vs Morgan Stanley
I have got an opportunity to work at Walmart Global Tech Bengaluru as a SDE-III for their pharma team. I am only concerned with work life balance at Walmart. Should I consider this offer or stay at Morgan Stanley ? Please suggest.

Hi all, I have offer from TCS, Tata Technologies, and capgemini, Tata Technologies and Capgemini offering same ctc, for tcs it is very less, considering layoff situations which should be the wise decision in terms of job security and wlb

Everytime I’m riding high, getting good work done, my boss has to come in and ruin the mood. Every time. Here’s to spending the rest of my day eating ice cream and watching tv while still working but less than before

Is Tesla Recruiting work life balance as bad as people are making it out to be? Anyone here that can give an insiders perspective?

Hi does schneider Electric layoff people.. How is job security?

How do those of you that struggle w/depression handle working at home? Going in to the office gives me a reason to get out of bed in the morning but I’m struggling today due to offices closed (snow)

Anyone have slow months where you burn through a lot of your allotted pro bono/professional development hours to keep hitting minimum daily hours? The past few weeks have been like this for me. Should I be concerned (I.e., will this reflect poorly on me, come review time? Will I have dug myself too much of a hole if I keep burning my non-billable hours?) I’ve been asking partners if I can assist in any projects so I can fill my plate, but I’ve only gotten small (4-6 hour) tasks handed my way.

I’m on the consulting side (FDD) and I’m curious if there are PE firms with good WLB. I’m happy with my pay, growth, and hours. PE interests me but I don’t understand why anyone would want to consistently work 65+ hours a week every week. What’s the appeal? Making double the pay? What’s the exit plan?

Any thought in working 3x12s a week vs a typical 5x8 or 4x10? I am working 3x12 and have to work some weekends and I am not sure if I like it. I am 25yrs lmk maybe I am just young? Thoughts?

I want to get my masters in HR, but I also want to get my phr.. is it better to get one over the other? Or should I do both. Are there any masters hr program someone can recommend?

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit. Leadership seem to not want to hear the truth so people tell them what they want to hear and if you don’t middle management gets pissed at you. I am seriously thinking about looking somewhere else. My question is how do you answer the “why are you looking to leave” question without bad mouthing your current company?

Tips on working for managers you don’t trust/look up to?

I’m having to consistently fix things they do/catch their mistake/organize the team because they’re not doing a great job at it. Tried vocalizing it but they’re not the best listeners and are pretty young (mid 20s)

Since the firm has clearly abandoned the practice of matching its peers (e.g., BCG/Bain) in terms of benefits, would love to hear some of the benefits provided by our new peers (Big4)? ....

Anyone in YPO? I imagine I’m not going to get many who say it’s “not worth it” but what makes it better than EO or any other org?

Relatively new in Big4 M&A advisory doing mostly integration work with some pre deal DD mixed in. I recently heard L.E.K. Consulting places well in MM PE but don't know much about them otherwise. Was interested if anyone had insight into whether a jump to their M&A or PE groups would be possible. In terms of background, I have an undergrad business degree from a T20 school and graduated a T14 law school as well.

Question for Goggins & Jocko Fans: How do you use their messaging to get you motivated on work related activities - such as delivering quality work, finishing that slide deck or prepping for an interview? It appears that they are more geared towards motivating the couch potato in to exercising.

I wonder how Jocko would handle consulting life :)
