The firm I work for has been good to me, but the partner I work under is pretty toxic/manipulative and it’s negatively impacting me. The past two years have sucked the life out of me, so I’m looking to leave. I love client service and training/leading staff, but I don’t know if I can do another busy season. Industry doesn’t particularly seem interesting to me though. Any advice on what to do?

Just here to say I’m so thankful we have this safe space.

Does the word “inclusion” do more harm than good? What if the panel we simply said “Diversity & Equity”? My thought here is that inclusion insinuates that anyone who isn’t in the “majority” needs to feel “included”, which could be somewhat off putting.

My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
