Anyone else feel they have less responsibility after exiting consulting? I used to be in the room with C suite, did many board presentations etc. Now my TC is double and I’m dealing with mid-management and have less stimulating work.

Depends on your role.
I did a few industry roles where I interfaces directly with the C suite on a regular basis.
And now I’m in consulting and I’m dealing with a huge company so more middle management instead.

All depends on the project/role. My current project is work for C-Suite execs of F100-F500 companies. But also have done middle management other times too. Everyone is still human, regardless of title.

So today was my first day on a stimulant (diagnosed as an adult), and everyone says its suppose to feel like *boom* magic, or normal (?) , I guess. Knowing that is figurative, what should I actually be expecting? I feel mostly the same, I think, though I came in and actually did started my work today. But I mean, somedays I do that...I just don't want to psyche myself out if I'm expecting too much. Or pscyhe myself in if I actually might not be experiencing what I should.
