What kind of consulting do you do? Your career model is very different from what I'm familiar with. For example, if I made Director at DD, a jump to anything in government except state college football coach would be the worst financial decision of my life.

Thanks P1. What do you think about EMBA?

Move to industry after promotion and get them to pay for an EMBA

At that point it may be pointless. You're salary is probably up there. An eMBA may help you for that promo but not a huge pay bonus. Govt ceiling is like 190 btw

eMBA or online with reimbursement would be better

The Vice President gets paid 230K

Thanks. But I'm not in it for the money

Hello fishes,

I have 6 and half YOE in front end development. (angular and hybrid applications). I joined my current organization ( product based) in Feb for 24LPA. The work here is too stressful and there is absolutely zero WLB. So I decided to start looking out again. However I am not getting good interview calls. Are most companies not hiring now ? Or could it because my CTC is too high ?
