What do you spend more time doing for work, answering/making phone calls or answering/sending emails? To be honest, I am beyond tired of both.

Lol this is kind of the job we signed up for in logistics right? I guess I just don't think any other logistics job would be different.

funny

I feel so bad because I know you guys are busy and my job is to harass you over the phone and ask how you’re handling your logistics to try and win business lol

funny

I actually hate that my work is like this but I'm in meetings 7 hours a day on average 😂. I need to then actually work. .

Working and then barely squeezing in enough time to answer phone and emails.

I feel like I'm constantly on the phone or writing emails. I'm sure many people can relate. Just yesterday, I spent my entire day going back and forth between calls and emails. It was exhausting and I'm ready for a break.

That's Logistics for you. I've been getting a lot of traction doing emails and media is a big help. But I understand your feeling a break is always needed to come back refreshed I wish you the best!🏁

Hi everyone,

I just graduated from my bachelors and I have received an offer for 3k per month (incl bonus) from Accenture in tech consulting (level 11), which was my top choice. However, I am not very satisfied with the pay so I wanted to ask:
1. I might also get offers from PwC or Deloitte, are they likely to pay more?
2. Is that enough to live a comfortable life in Amsterdam Zuid?
