This job is miserable without travel.
Guys, my friend had her last working day last week and she thinks she forgot to fill her timesheet for her last 2 days before handing over the laptop. What can be the consequences of this? She is really worried about this
P.S she belongs to a back end team serving the firm internally charging time on only one code.

definitely entitled lol.. most americans could never dream of making $250k in a year
Totally, and I think that comes down to what tone the consultant used, which is being discussed under other comments on this post
Different industries pay different wages. A consultant should know that. I’d say they shouldn’t be consulting that client, clearly they don’t know it’s business...
I think it depends how he meant it. The way it was worded could go either way. Either he is “looking down” on the VP for making so little or he is surprised by how little the VP is making and thinks the position deserves to be paid more. No way to know how it was meant unless you ask him or if he says more on the topic and you can confirm “yeah this guy is a jerk” or “he’s genuinely appalled by how underpaid the VP is.”
Get over yourself, bro.
Expressing your own preference and wage to do a job feels reasonable. Probably why the consultant is doing the consultant job instead of the VP job
I don’t think it’s rude to say a client deserves more than what they’re making. The contrast is particularly stark when you compare a banking associate’s annual wage to the responsibilities I’m sure come with John Smith’s role
It honestly depends on the emphasis. Is the emphasis on needing $350k to do all the responsibilities associated with John Smith’s role? Or is the emphasis on needing to pay consultant $350k because he sees his time as being worth more? In casual conversation, it’s usually the former
Sounds like the person just felt safe sharing that opinion. Nothing bad as long as it didn’t hurt anyone
Chill. What’s the big deal?
Inappropriate conversation. Imagine the impact of someone at the client heard this discussion or even part of those comments.
Depending on how bad the company culture is I think this is a fair statement. So long as it’s not in front of the wrong people ( aka the clients)
How much does the consultant make? If they’re making $200K with 4 years of experience then it’s not so outlandish to expect more.
I mean, when I was a 1st year audit staff I saw client payroll info and thought someone was underpaid at $180k for a manager role. I definitely wasn’t going to be in the running for that job, but I could still recognize that I would want at least $250k for it.
