Work Life balance.

That’s a good one!

These days I can't get either without getting into a management role. I've been there and it's not something I want to get back to. I want to me an analyst. I'm in a role where I directly affect operational success without stressing over whether people show up to work to cover the workload for the day. Sadly, non-management roles in this industry don't seem to pay very well for someone looking to have a single or single+ income household with 4 kids.

I consider myself lucky to have gotten away from a forklift early, but I still enjoy that kind of work. If I could support my family financially while still driving on a dock, I would do it in a heartbeat.

Very good!

I will say take the money and also try and balance my work . Am glad in my company that teach us time boxing and how to utilize a standard work check list. Having those help alot especially when u have a job that has so many responsibility. Those tools help you create time for family and also how to build a string team . If you have that in check life is great . Remember everyone's development is different . I learned all these from my SR manger . The dude is always chilled and the dept runs so smooth even on chaotic days .

I’m thinking about taking the money too! Thanks for the feedback!

I’m have a new theory about why juniors always feel like idiots and wanted to see if anyone else thinks this makes sense. I’m a third year, and am the most junior person all of my teams (generally me, a senior or two, and a partner or two), and I always feel like I’m messing something up. Is this just because I never get to work with other juniors and don’t see the mistakes they make, and that it’s relatively normal? And FWIW I went to HYS and I’ve had a clerkship so it’s not like I’m not smart
