About to become a manager at MBB, have an MBA at HSW. Honestly, I’m just not that passionate about work, but I want a well paying job. What is the most straightforward path to 400k in total comp (I’m in Texas), while working 40-50 hours a week?

Big Oil & Gas companies in Texas that pay a lot for support to the Exec Board members which you could get with a bit more experience

Stay til AP/P and jump to corporate at ~400tc at SD/VP level. Just grind for 2 more years, most straight forward path. Alternatively go to tech that promotes fast and you can get there in ~3 years

Hello all,
I have got an offer from Mastercard at 18.7 lpa as senior database engineer @ level 7.
Is this a fair ask for my position.

I’m in Deloitte human capital and want to eventually (but sooner rather than later) move to industry doing internal talent/people stuff. My coach recommended getting SPHR or equivalent. Thoughts?

Anyone know of headhunters in publishing or entertainment, or good ones in our world who are savvy in such things?

I can't help but notice that the most touted exit opps mentioned here are all 'G&A' positions - S&O, CorpDev, Strat, etc. Aren't these positions the first in line to go come layoff time?
