Why do people prefer product based companies? Is it just for the pay? What if service based companies offer more than product based companies?

It's not just money. All service based companies are running on old policies which are not very employee friendly.
You have to work for a client and report to 2 managers basically
Your work and learning depends on client
Your manager focuses on pleasing client manager
Most service companies have a 3 month notice period. Not much remote or WFH policies.
Recently I have joined a product company, they didn't negotiate my salary, just gave as per my expectation with a joining bonus.
The job is full remote, which means I can work and travel from anywhere
I got subscription for practo medical app for me and my family members.
In service companies you are billed for a task, here I'm working on whole architecture, infrastructure, cloud for the whole organization, not just simple repetitive tasks.
More over salary appraisal are great in product companies than service companies

There are pros and cons for both ,you have to decide on the basis of factors which are most important to you. According to me most of things for wlb depends on team and manager. Which you can get in any of them. but one thing in service is that there is client which in some cases might affect wlb. In product major companies give lot of benefits over and above ctc, tech wise you the product might have old tech on which product is built but they do evolve and rebuild with new ones.You will get more challenging work in product. appraisals are also good. in service you can change project easily

In service you may not get the desired project and appraisals are poor

So if you pass the MPRE with flying colors that allegedly measures “ethical competence” you’re likely not a danger to the public, but if you fail the bar exam that allegedly measures and protects the public from malpractice you’re a danger to the public? I had a big laugh today. 😂

I’m up for promotion this year, and I’ve been working so hard and my feedback is amazing and I’ve wanted this for awhile. Now, an immediate relative is actively dying and I may go out on a short leave, and I also have some PTO planned so that I can visit family oversees later this fall. With all that’s happening, I’m not going to hit my 90% utilization target, which is a checkbox in my promo. (cont).

Been struggling with my ADHD/depression more over the past few weeks than ever before. I am at a serious risk of losing my job for failure to meet billables and I can’t bring myself to fix the problem. I am normally an over achiever, but new to this job- so I don’t have a reputation to lean on here. I have not disclosed my conditions. Literally terrified and not sure how to pull myself out of this. Grateful for any advice or just to know others have made it through something similar.
