Where do you find the time to get everything done in the day when you have multiple partners, associates and equity partners that interrupt you and want things turned around immediately while simultaneously working on deadlines? I feel like I’m the only one that can’t manage a 70+ case load without letting someone down. I constantly have to say “Can I do this tomorrow?” Etc. I don’t even have time to bill on the clock. I work until 7p at least every night. Top 10 family law firm.

Any suggestions/ ideas about ValuLabs WLB and job security?

Anyone have reservations about leaving their company as the economic outlook sours with hiring freezes across tech? I have a few offers from firms like PayPal, Shopify, etc. - around 20% higher comp for companies with slightly better reputations as tech. I’ve been growing bored at Visa and definitely am underpaid, but wlb and job security are unbeatable. No dependent family members or visa requirements, 2 YOE, good emergency fund. Should I stay and maybe took an internal look or leave?

Hi, I am a Senior frontend developer. I have got offers in Nagarro, epsilon and L&T Infotech. Which company is good to choose in terms of learning and work life balance

We always keep hearing about the bad WLB in MBB, especially BCG. Want to know if it's actually true, or is it an untrue rumor spread by people who couldn't get into these companies.

(Note - I am talking about incremental WLB issues, over and above the issues at Deloitte S&O, Accenture Strategy, etc. as these issues are common in management consulting)

For associates back in the office, (1) what are your typical hours and (2) how much flexibility do you have? i.e. if you wanted to leave office at 5 or so and do work later, is that acceptable?

Curious to hear how the progress on your application has been, specifically the time duration, i.e., when did you receive the AOR letter and how long after that did you receive the invite for the test and then oath ceremony?

I understand that processing times are longer than usual due to Covid and might vary on a case to case basis, but just want to get a sense of the average processing time.

Most interesting part after 2 weeks she got revised offer letter from cogni without any discussion of 16lpa with 1L joining bonus.

How can we analyse and suggest her regarding offer.
