I am a first generation immigrant. Frankly I would say if an immigrant gets an opportunity that you have she would jump in with both feet. The immigrants survive in US by doing truly whatever it takes, whatever jobs, whatever locations. Trust me. They would do anything to feed their family. That is the mentality that makes America great. Think about those Europeans who moved to US 300 years ago. Take this as an experience to build character. Please stop whining. There is always a silver lining there. Go luck my friend.

This must be for the small business loans as part of the stimulus bill. I'm hearing all the big banks are about staff up with some big 4 new hires to do the paperwork. RIP

like

It is. I’ve got 20 years banking experience. Banks cannot handle the demand nor can their system. Hence those that work for the bank stay on line working during the day hours. Avoid OT pay. The big 4 will take over in the late hours as their systems will not be slammed and can get these applications processed quickly . It’s a 24/7 process. It’s a Win win in helping these small business who are in dire need. Only the strong rise above it even if the hours suck. It’s not about you but a community effort to help others in need.

A few thoughts. There is always something to learn in every engagement. What do you have to learn in order to manage that team or not just “work it” but improve your work (helps you) or improve the team’s work (helps your prestige at the client and at your firm. Never “drone out” no matter how hard the working conditions are.

Also - don’t give up unless you have an exit plan and a job lined up. Things are weird right now.

I had to take a short term gig working as a business analyst. I’m a senior manager and architect with 17 years experience with hot skills. I was on the bench. I was happy to take it.

I don't think your unhappiness is about this one issue (6 pm - 6 am) shift. Reading your other posts your issues with KPMG seem to be deeper. You should do some serious soul searching and make a decision. So keep in mind every Firm has it's baggage and so do we as individuals. Wherever you go, you will still take your personal baggage with you. Perhaps time for a new career?

Hello, after doing some research I believe I’m being underpaid. About 4 months ago HR did a market analysis for my role. They bumped my salary for about $2k. I’m a mid-level Executive assistant with 6 years of experience and currently supporting 5 executives at a fortune 50 company. One C level and 4 Vice Presidents. I’m currently making $61,000 with bonus included. Based on my research I should at least be making $71,400. I have a check in with my boss tomorrow and I am asking for a raise.

Current expectations set at 140-160k. Reasonable?
