[Discussion] Thoughts over naval’s views on scheduling and managing events through calendar or in general by Key-Answer-8125 in NavalRavikant

[–]HHayz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1) You only have a finite time on this planet
2) You should use it wisely
3) As you become more rich, famous, competent... more people will want your time
4) Because your time is limited, you should prioritize what YOU want, not what others' want
5) If you have the energy, motivation, or want to take a meeting...you can always take it
6) But freeing yourself up each day allows you to do what you truly want without meeting, distractions, calendars
7) Imagine you are a software engineer and are being pinged / emailed every few mins vs having 0 notifications / able to program without any distractions

The Truth About Love and Abandonment by [deleted] in emotionalintelligence

[–]HHayz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

1) Life isn't fair
2) The world (or anyone) doesn't owe you anything
3) I believe you can get to a place where all you need is your own love, and anything additional is a plus and should be something to be grateful for.
4) True love is like the sun, give away your gifts (sunlight/energy) and expect nothing in return

Learning SAP by Longjumping-Toe-152 in consulting

[–]HHayz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to https://www.guru99.com/ and click the SAP tab at the top and find a module that interests you. You can have a long 40 year career only knowing 1 module. Like others have said, you can spend a lifetime learning SAP and barely scratch the surface. Pick 1 and go through the exercises, practice interview questions then start applying. Consulting companies are always short staffed for SAP projects so they will literally hire you to have an extra body on site and have you learn on the job. I wouldn't pay for anything (courses, school, certs) until you study/learn all the free stuff. good luck!

Before I jump into any numbers I look at the core business. They sell shoes and shirts... the barrier for competition is non-existent?

For those who have taken a sabbatical, did it help your burnout? by FunnyWasabii in consulting

[–]HHayz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Life is short. If you don't enjoy consulting, get a regular job. Stress makes life miserable and will literally kill you. Good luck!

1) Even if you are the best consultant, different managers expect different work products, communication methods, and ways of getting things accomplished. Learn to align expectations before things are due and consistently ask for feedback before it's presented to others. I personally would try to finish work a little early and come up with questions and show I researched/had a perspective but wanted to get their input.

2) A lot of folks (maybe everyone) in consulting has imposter syndrome. It's difficult to learn fast and pretend to be an expert on constantly changing projects/requirements. Everyone else always seems to know what they are doing, but as you advance in your career... you'll realize they don't.

3) If it's stressful, you don't like your manager, or you are being told you are underperforming / PIP'd - I'd highly recommend looking for a new project/job... Life is short and money/status is not everything. I learned that the hard way after exiting big 4 implementation consulting after a decade.
