It happens, we've all been there. And occasionally when scoping roles the result doesn't match the intent. If a true swap isn't an option ask if there are ways you can expand your contribution in the role while they work out a more long term solution.

I would also offer a timeframe to switch roles so they can backfill you and you offer that you can train the person coming on in your role

Do some of the leg work yourself. Reach out to RM and identify potential back fills.

My worry is that I will sound entitled. My CC agrees with me that this work is below my level though, and she was mad that the role was coded the way it was. I will definitely offer to stay on for a transition period. Thanks for the advice guys

Why do you network?
To connect with like minded folks and work on areas that interest you
OR
Just to stay in touch with influential ppl and move up the food chain

Let's try to be honest on this one.

McKinsey health insurance question: I've heard that McKinsey's health insurance doesn't care about "in-network" vs. "out-of-network" - is this true?

Joining a north-east office soon. Will be living in one state and working in another (think NY - NJ commute). Found a good PCP in NY after many years and would love to hold on to this PCP if possible.

PCP: NY
Office: not NY

What is an “acceptable” percentage of billed time to have written written off over the course of a year? At what point does an associate start to be viewed as inefficient for taking “too long” to finish tasks?

My husband thinks instead of changing my meds, I should have more sex with him for stress relief to keep anxiety at bay. I don’t know whether to take him seriously- besides living with me 20 years he has no experience with SSRIS, and he definitely has a bias/ conflict of interest! 😄 Will my doc laugh or cry if I suggest this "experiment"?
