Work hours and expectations are insane. The partner needs to learn team management, develop some bit of empathy, spend time in his personal life beyond work, and communicate team's limited availability over weekends/festivals to Clients. I also wish he didn't infuse panic attacks in the team for work that can easily be done across a few days. My health is suffering because of the expectation to be available 24×7 7 days a week. Someday he would understand the value of a strong team that would want to stick with him for multiple years rather than leaving in less than one.
No regrets. Though I would say I was unlucky to start my career with this partner.
I wanted to understand how the work has been. What type of tasks are you handling, how much time do you end up spending at work, how's the work/life balance, is the office/team culture great/horrible, and are there any regrets or second thoughts about the choice of your first job?
do drop the firm name too if y'all can lol
