Do you think age (or perceived age) factors into promotions or raises? Curious about the typical age that people are promoted to principle, sr. manager, manager, etc, or does the vary by industry? I’m on the younger side but have a lot of work experience so wondering if age will hurt me in future promotions

Big 4 salaries come with big burnout risks. I'm currently at Deloitte, and I'm running on fumes. However, I'm too afraid to take a step back or take time off because I never know when layoffs will hit and I don't want to be seen as weak. So I keep pushing myself. How do you guys work yourself to the point of exhaustion and yet avoid burnout?

My firm has us under a PTO freeze through September. Says the workload is too heavy and no PTO requests during this time will be honored. We can't even put in vacation requests until this freeze ends. How is this legal?

How late is too late to be sending emails to the team? Sometimes I'm working later into the evening and send out emails so I don't forget. I'm sending these emails to the team's work emails and I've made it clear I don't expect responses until the next day. But sometimes people still complain. Just turn off your notifications when you leave work. What's the big deal?

Do you guys send your kids to daycare with their cellphones? My kids are starting their summer daycare program next week but the center doesn't want kids to bring tablets or cellphones. I feel like I want my kids to be able to call me if they need me. So, I'm thinking of putting their phones in their bags, on silent anyway. I'm paying a fortune to this center, I should get some say here.
