Career Advice

hello,

I have been working in support roles in IT Operations till now.
The current profile is Cloud Monitoring+Support with rotational shifts and on contractual basis

I have not been able to upskill as much as I would have liked to have a transition to a better profile

My goal is to transition so as to have a day shift in order to have a work life balance

Can you please suggest any smart ways to apply for the jobs

switch from rotational shifts

Career Growth

I’ve noticed this pattern more than once.
The more successful a man is at work, the more distant he becomes emotionally.

My last partner had a great job at a top finance firm. Big salary. Fancy LinkedIn profile. But when it came to feelings? It felt like I was dating someone who just wasn’t there.

And honestly, I don’t care how much money someone makes if they can’t even have a simple, honest conversation.
That’s not ambition, that’s emotional neglect in a suit.

So I’m wondering does growing in your career implies you have to stop showing emotions?
Or is this the "New Normal" now.
Would love to know what you think.

Can someone be both successful and emotionally mature? Or is it always one or the other?

Why Is Emotional Effort Not Part of the Resume?

Supporting each other through the ups and downs of work life

Day to Day Office

Last night, I came home feeling really frustrated after a last-minute meeting at work. I rang the doorbell and saw my husband looking happy because he got a new project thanks to his hard work. 

He was telling me how much praise he got at work and how his career is moving forward. But I suddenly lost my patience and shouted .............SHUTUP, I’m not happy right now ................too much frustrated and I don’t want to hear about your achievements. Just leave me alone.

He looked surprised, and I walked away from the room. Since then, it’s been quiet between us................no hugs or support. And I am wondering why?

If he can share his happiness, why can’t I share my frustration? Being partners means understanding each other, no matter what. 
Why the silence? Not everyone has a good day every day. Sometimes, you just need someone to ask how you are feeling before talking.

Interview Tips & Stories

I walked out of an interview today. This was my third interview with the company. Interviewer goes on to mention there's a fourth interview with the manager and I said nope. I stood up, and said "you've met me 3 times already and should know if you want to hire me at this point. I am not doing a 4th interview." She was shocked. I wish I took a picture of the look on her face. She kept saying, "but I really like you." And, "no one's ever done this before." Nope, don't care.

Walked out of an interview today

One thing I’ve personally learned is that it’s really important not to overtalk during interviews. Once you cross that line, you unknowingly start oversharing. And we often forget that interviewers are actively listening to every single word  not just casually nodding.

In one of my interviews, the person was super friendly, and I got too comfortable. I ended up talking openly about some of my weaknesses… and guess what? He used that against me later. 
So yeah, be mindful of what and how much you share, even if the vibe feels chill.

News

Mumbai got slammed with 100mm+ rain in just 12 hours. IMD's issued an orange alert, Metro Line 3 is down, roads are basically rivers, and the local trains are crawling. A lot of offices are half-empty or fully remote today some companies even let employees crash at work overnight.

And honestly, today was a mess for me too.
Left home at 8:30 AM thinking I could beat the rush. Got stuck at Sion for over an hour, water halfway up my legs. Auto guy ditched me mid-route, and I ended up walking 3 km just to reach an office that had 4 people and no Wi-Fi because of a power cut. 😩

Lesson learned: Never underestimate Mumbai rains, and always keep an extra pair of socks.

Anyone else go through this chaos today? Or did you wisely choose to WFH?
