That the caste system is not just in India. There is a definite "pecking order" in a hospital. It's not just administration and labor. It does something like surgeons, other doctors, RNs, other nursing levels, medical lab techs and then the "untouchables" hidden back behind the scenes who keep the whole thing running like a business.

How brutal some of the older nurses can be. Maybe I got unlucky with the first couple of places that I worked at but it felt like some of them were actively trying to get me to slip up or crack under the pressure. I'm in a much more supportive environment now though, fortunately.

How much it would change for the worse!

That it is so difficult, so draining and even traumatic at times. I wish I had gone into finance, lol.

So I am working as a UI UX designer since Jan22. I started with a really good project (everything from the scratch) with research, knowing the user etc. The project went really well.

Then I was told to work directly with a client, it's been 2 months already we work late hours and also on weekend (asked by the client). It feels like my personal life is gone.
