Anybody working to exit to something outside of tech?
Maybe to a particular industry? Something creative (art, music, etc)? Other?

Just curious since we see a lot of tech exit wishes...

I would LOVE to exit to automotive. Tech is lame, but the money is great.

Tech in general sense / as a monolith is lame to those of us not really interested in it (I'm included in this group; not really trying to speak for the comment above).

Individual things or experiences are cool absolutely but I don't care about developing anything, being a designer, or any of the PMing (project, product, and portfolio) or much of whatever else I've done / am doing here. There's still only one project i thought is legitimately interesting.

I fell into it through a coding program, thought it might be cool, it's not. Have learned some stuff the same way anyone else picks up new knowledge by way of experiencing something.

But I honestly just don't care and I'm bored.

I'm paying my bills and doing some things on the side as I prepare to leave.

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.

I’ve built a reputation I’m proud of @ my company. I’m underpaid for what I do (started as an intern) & recently asked for a market adjustment. Management acknowledged that I’m undervalued & plans to set me up for a promotion. It’d come with more responsibility, which doesn’t align with my goals.

Is it wise for me to remain open to a promotion just for increased pay? Or should I be transparent with management about my goals (& possibly not get the pay I’m asking for)? Or any other tips?

what is the salary range of consultant in KGS ? What will be the role offered if I have 3.5 years of experience , consultant or associate consultant ?

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time
