People genuinely care about each other and try to do the right thing for their teams and clients. Structurally, we are also incentivized to be less cutthroat re: how we build culture, how we deal with promotions, how we go about things commercially, etc. So all that helps.

We also have a weird culture of toxic positivity / willful ignorance that lends itself well to shit like rankings

Paying the fee. These are marketing campaigns. You pay the people who conduct the “survey” and end up on top. Same with most “best places to work” results.

I have a firsthand exposure working at and with folks from Kearney, Monitor and McKinsey. I do genuinely believe Bain has the best culture of performance improvement (not actual PiP) and mentoring out of all of these. Also, some of the leadership behaviour I witnessed at these firms would never fly at Bain.

Moving on from Hotels (Hospitality)?

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now, but it is very to commit to actually accept a new job offer since I really do love my job. My only complaint is, the pay vs workload is very small. I’m a manager now and my property offered me a director position… but the salary is still low! To make six figures, it’ll take another 5-6 years to grind it out.

Should I move on and go to a different industry? Opinions are welcome! Thanks in advance.
