Intact

First year associate, out of A3 clerkship. I need to stay at the firm for a year to keep my bonus, which I need to pay my loans, but I'm gonna GTFO the minute the year is up. Even at a nice firm, expectations and WLB are unbearable. How to I make it through the year with my sanity intact?

I feel like this bowl is full of broken people who are complicit in abusive work environments due to the ill-defined nature of “success” and people who have moved beyond the climb, recovered from that state of mind, and are just trying to keep their boundaries intact long enough to gracefully exit

Scenario: you’re in a junior/mid level team and write a script that’s chosen for a client presentation. Perhaps due to time or other factors, your CD/GCD/ECD rewrites some or all of the script, keeping the basic idea intact. You’re still involved in the process and credited. How feel you?

Random thought: as I mature, I’m starting to realize one of the biggest flexes you can have is coming from a functioning, intact, healthy family and having healthy caring relationships with parents and siblings as an adult. When people drop these hints of healthy functional family relationships in conversation, I feel that’s a pretty good flex.

Hi all, Need some advice. I got the highest offer from LnT worth 17, but I can try for some more comapnies and get higher offers. But ,I also want to retain in capgemini if they match the package. Should I stop interviews & approach my manager or should I wait for him to call me again ? He had already called once saying he would match the package. Am I being too greedy if I ask for 18/19 to retain?Or should I just ask for 17 so that repport between me and my manager remains intact?
