I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more.

I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.

Anyone feels guilty in my shoes? Is returning to the firm a common scenario? Just worried that things might not work out in new firm

Need advice. Top performer. Team members have been leaving and I have a stupid amount of responsibilities. I’m not complaining about that but some were very swiftly transitioned while I was dealing with other work streams. TLDR: I am super burnt out and am one of two people who does any technical work. I randomly get forwarded emails from my lead about work steams that predate my tenure on the project. I can’t do it anymore and I’m losing my mind. I’m an analyst so don’t know what do.

If anyone wants a referral to mck, DM me. We are doing a strong push to onboard colleagues over the next few months.
