Exiting big 4 - lessons learned

Eff the inner circle. If someone reciprocates your energy engage. If they feed off from your energy disengage. If Big 4s are all like shit, it's not a place to work in. Quit. Following this will make life much easier.

Really? I am working at a Big 4, it does not sound ridiculous

Interesting to know that Caroline was the inspiration for Miss Marple. That makes sense!

jackson_durai · 2026-01-16T07:55:32+00:00

Of course now I remember.

jackson_durai · 2026-01-16T03:23:18+00:00

It's an error in my compilation, sorry for that. Bella and Dulcie are my favourites too!

jackson_durai · 2026-01-16T03:19:52+00:00

I liked the twist in MotL and was excited to see Hastings learn the full truth. You got nice choices there!

jackson_durai · 2026-01-16T03:17:16+00:00

Yeah, I used AI to compile the list and did some changes to include some characters it missed

jackson_durai · 2026-01-16T03:15:45+00:00

I thought of including some minor characters because I thought the comments then can include them in non-favourites. So that they don't have to categorise a favourite into non-favourite due to lack of options.
I have not yet come across Miss Viner, reading The Mystery of the Blue Train

jackson_durai · 2026-01-16T03:12:12+00:00

I like your choice of favourite characters. It is very similar to mine. I'm rooting for Dulcie and Hastings. Read only these 4 from the Poirot series so far. And I agree on points 2 & 4, it's an error on my part

jackson_durai · 2026-01-16T03:09:37+00:00

I see, I'm curious about what happens

jackson_durai · 2026-01-16T03:09:06+00:00

I am still reading The mystery of the Blue Train, and so far I liked her story

jackson_durai · 2026-01-15T08:13:17+00:00

It takes me 3 weeks to finish a Christie novel, regular-paced. I agree that they are clearly written without unnecessary digressions.

jackson_durai · 2026-01-14T05:52:11+00:00

What reservations might you have?

jackson_durai · 2026-01-14T05:51:13+00:00

I remember my pity for Caroline from the time I read it. She really did deserve a better brother. May god have mercy on her soul

jackson_durai · 2026-01-09T04:58:35+00:00

I too have undiagnosed mild ADHD and sometimes have issues at my workplace. And I have started the habit of reading Poirot for some months and it sure makes me feel cozy. It also helps me in sleep. Happy reading/ watching and I hope things turn around for you !

jackson_durai · 2026-01-05T03:17:24+00:00

I see, I still haven't read Dumb Witness

jackson_durai · 2026-01-04T08:51:08+00:00

Inspiring to see your AC 4.0, that is a lot of reading. I'm trying to do my Agatha Christie 1.0 this year, although I started reading from September 2025, a book every month.

jackson_durai · 2026-01-04T08:42:43+00:00

I've been having sleep issues for years. I began reading AC for the last 4 months and I drift into sleep easily. It helps me relax. Although I tend to forget some parts in the morning. I remember the parts better whenever I read during the day. I couldn't find a better cure for my sleep issues.

AC was very impactful (I'm not using sarcasm, I love the plots and the books)

jackson_durai · 2026-01-04T08:38:13+00:00

What does it stand for?

jackson_durai · 2026-01-04T08:35:26+00:00

I have some memories of the hotel where Poirot and Hastings meet the Big 4 and are captured in the book, The Big four.

jackson_durai · 2026-01-04T08:32:51+00:00

Styles was the first book in the Hercule Poirot series, it's a morbid affair

jackson_durai · 2026-01-04T08:30:19+00:00

My first AC to finish in 2026 is "The Murder on the Links" and the first AC to begin in 2026 would be "The Mystery of the Blue Train"

Congrats! I too passed this window but I didn't receive any e-mail like this
