Why do some Desi Managers like to brag about some of their team members (or they themselves) working so hard that they hardly find time to sleep or eat lunch? If someone has to skip meals or can’t get enough sleep, that person is definitely not working efficiently or will become a bottleneck soon.

I have not, I have seen this problem with many Desi managers

Objectively answering, it's a CRY for help disguised as bragging. I'm yet to hear this myself from a "Desi Manager", but it's likely part of the work culture we all should collectively chip away. Whenever I hear about someone stretching long hours or working over the weekend, I have definitely said - "That's not good"

Looking at exits into pharma and biotech. Have an opp at a biotech at the SM level. Total comp excluding equity is around $190k; RSUs vest over 4 years with annual refreshers, so first year equity would be around $6,200 and it would go up by $6,200 each of the next 3 years, plus whatever base bump I get. Very good benefits package.

They envision 2-3 years before I jump either to AD or right to D. Solid opp? Or hold out to go straight to director level?

Curious how other marketing teams like to share resources internally. I'm considering creating a centralized hub where departments can access news, branding information, logos, premade materials and basic templates like letterheads. I'd also like to be able to give specific users access to specific things (ie I don't want everyone to have the logo vector).

Any suggestions or thoughts? Know any software for this? My instinct is just to build a website or page with logins, but open to options!

fellow Desis', how do you deal with Parents back home. I would like to care for them but without their interfering in every little detail of my life. I am gay, so I am not their ideal kid, & sense their frustration/feelings of betrayal in every conversation. But I can't stop living my life.
They get upset:
