Would you prefer to be on a super chill project billing 40 but working 20 which won't be very challenging, or take on a more interesting/challenging engagement where you average 55-60 hours?

Remote! Low level of work! More nap time, less burn out, more time to work on other things

I'm actually kind of on a low utilization role right now. Got my personal website up, helped host a conference, able to travel during the week. Really ideal. Took a nap at 1pm today, no emails when I got up.

Let me add a twist. I'm the first scenario, you're remote 75% of the time, the second is on site every week, traveling.

This post is an alert message for anyone joining the Johnson & Johnson EMEA account for SAP & had Rakesh Sharma for their Manager round.

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something.

Is this normal?

So I’m in industry from big 4, and a colleague with same yoe comes from MBB. High paying tech firm. I think I work harder and produce quality content at speed, but they can hold executive conversations that tend to impress senior stakeholders.

Big 4 produces work horses and MBB produces leaders. Also they could be a work horse too since I don’t have full visibility.

Anyone have similar experiences or do I just suck at executive stakeholder management?
