You probably have always been bitter and cynical. Consulting just made you come to terms with it.

its tough, but your reactions are a choice--dont forget that! you can stop yourself from choosing to have a bitter or cynical reaction to everything, it just take a bit more effort in this job.

Same here. It's the constant stress and lack of real fulfillment in the work

Hello! Looking for some help regarding compensation in product management. I joined my tech/e-commerce software company in very early stages… I’ve always been interested in product management and after 5 years I now have an opportunity to start in a PM role. I’ve been a sales engineer and functional consultant and I’m wondering what sort of compensation I should be asking for. I have no product management experience but I’m very familiar with the product and market already. Any help welcomed!

Hours real talk. I've always been very "bill what I work" so that means light weeks I'm destroying my own utilization/billing initiatives instead. Meanwhile peers bill 40-45 regardless. Am I an idiot?

Unrelated to work, but still steaming from earlier. Walked to the locker service room to pick up my packages. You have to walk through the mail room first. Ive lived at this apt complex for 2 yrs and have seen dozens of different usps employees. Today, there happened to be one who was blocking the door with his cart that had the communities mail. As soon as I opened the door, in a rude voice he says, come back in 30 min. I said, I’m sorry I cant which was true. Not only was I in a time crunch
