Being an acting senior is literally so shit. All the stress with no reward. Anyone else over getting used?

Your job is to do what is asked of you. If you aren’t happy about what you are asked to do, get a new job. Most people in B4 will be “acting [fill in the blank]” throughout their entire career. That’s what this job is.

I had to be “acting manager” for three weeks on a PCAOB provision until they replaced the manager as a senior one; it was the worst three weeks of my life to date.

Wow. When I was an acting senior I took it as an opportunity to prove my worth and solidify the deal for promotion. Which it did. Then I was an acting manager for a while and same thing. And senior manager Doing the job above yours is the best way to get that job. If your firm isn’t seeing that and just dumping on you because you’re still there, you need to find a better work environment.

Get used to it op. These places use you up until you leave. Then they'll do it to someone new until the end of time.

I get that you need to show that you are capable of senior, but I feel like if your not going to get early promoted that should be in your third year. My office has a ton of second years senioring right now. Ridiculous, they can't early promote all of us

You set yourselves up, folks. When they approached me to be an “acting senior”, I told them I needed time to think, in the meantime, I did little research on the client they were going to send me to...and was told to stay away. So went back to them and said that I really like the team I am with right now and the client and do not want to switch. Also, I did ask about the raise and was given a NO. In the end, they still promoted me. So grow some balls and take charge of your career instead of some manager or partner do it for you. NO ONE knows what is best for you but you.

Why are dog owners acting as though Santa Monica and Venice are doggie beaches? I have seen so many loose dogs and my daughter ended up in dog poo twice. We have doggie beaches for a reason. It’s disgusting and illegal and I don’t want loose dogs running around as I sunbathe.

I am not sure what to do. My company just had another round of massive layoffs. So far my job was spared. I do got a job offer from a different company but the salary is way lower than what I have now (20,000$ less). Should I choose for financially stability but with a lower salary, or take the risk, keep the higher salary, but have a high chance to loose it as the company isn’t doing great.
