Almost a year at Citi as a C13 and making 120k. Any advice on what to do? I mostly work 2-4hrs a week! I usually read work related stuff or personal books. Manager won’t assign me any projects. Suggestions?

Wait - are you complaining that you're getting paid six figures to sit around and read all day? That sounds like my dream job. Seriously, though, if you're not being utilized/challenged to your fullest potential, then perhaps it's time to start looking elsewhere, either internally or with another firm.

I get what you are saying though. Being paid to do nothing really isn't that great. it gets rather boring.

That feeling when you read this post and easily work 50+ hours per week while being paid significantly less. 😑

I am looking to make a career change to HR. I currently make 75K as a sales and development coach. I had a recent offer for a state government position in a talent acquisition role but I’d be taking a $25K pay cut. I am extremely over qualified for the position but it could possibly be a stepping stone and gives me the time to acquire SHRM certifications and possibly start taking classes to get my MBA. My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?

Hi peeps!
Got two offers on the table, who love to hear your advice!

- Finance Business Partner for a late stage (Series D/valuation 3B) startup tech company

- Corp Dev analyst role for a listed niche gambling company

The tech job pays 15k more, but from what I can see will be a cluster and super long hours (has EU stakeholders). Maybe a pipe dream, but I want to have a "somewhat" decent wlb while still growing my career toward strategy and finance.

Thoughts on which one is better?

Wondering what people think about my situation. I’ve been offered a role with a company. The job description didn’t mention college degree as a requirement. On my CV I have a section listed as “Education” and under it I have “Business Studies” with the university name and the 3 years that I attended the course (2.5 to be exact). It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.
