What is a typical day off like for you? I'm so caught up with the weekday lifestyle that I've almost forgotten how to relax. I'm struggling to be able to find that groove again, and I'd love to know how others in the field are making time to just relax and do their thing.

I make it a point to get myself to local events (farmers markets, music gigs) so I don't feel completely cut out from the life that most others live. I also do a full body massage every other month. That's all I do really. I try to enjoy life as it is.

Honestly it really varies by week. There are days off when I do absolutely nothing but rot and I call those my rot days. Then there are days where I am extremely productive and tackle a huge to do list and feel really accomplished. Kind of depends on how much the week drains me.

So true here too! Love your term for less-than -productive days! Balance is the key, I believe.

Me too! My weekend I'm always rushing and i feel like some people don't understand because they don't have the same sense of urgency or responsibility and they just kind of... Relax? Lol. Trying to find a balance for myself

I always sleep in, take a lazy walk with my husband and our dog to get coffee, and spend the mornings doing the crossword. I've gotten so much better at relaxing as I've gotten older, I think I was made for it (haha). I find that avoiding screens, having a few goals but also social plans, and just taking things slow is my approach.

I can relate to how you are unable to relax because you are so used to the rush, the hustle, running here and there. I am always in that kind of situation which I'm still trying to find ways to slower my pace during off days or relax alot more than usual. The only time I find myself not moving much is when I'm really sick. haha!

Recommendations for firms to look into in South FL? I'm in Ft. Lauderdale but am open to Boca or Miami. I'm a first year associate in ID (coverage issues) but really would prefer transactional work. More importantly though, I'm looking for companies who pay relatively well (doesn't necessarily have to be market), are open to remote/hybrid work, aren't sweatshops. I'd settle for insurance work if theres good WLB & $$$ lol

I’m curious. What would you say is the best industry / sector for…1. WLB, 2. Great people / team, 3. Exit opp’s., and 4. Overall (mix of the above). Goes without saying the obvious “it depends on office, team, project, client, etc.” So this is an ask for general observations.

A question from a youngster. Is working at a big big company with slightly low pay better or working at a much smaller company with higher pay better?

In the future, after a few years, let’s say I’m at a small company and want to switch to big big company, will the “small names” hurt my chance to get into the big doors?

I mean big big company is like 10x bigger than the small one if this was a factor. Assume everything else the same, WLB, commute, teams, etc.

Hi Fishes,

I got an offer from PwC. The joining date that I had agreed from my side was 2 June. But I don't know that even in probation the NP is 90 days (it was mentioned in the release doc as 1 month but I didn't take that screenshot as proof). I told the whole issue to my recruiter and she sent a confirmation mail stating that she will revise my joining date by 90 days without issue. Is there any chance they can revoke the offer? I have put down my papers already.
