I can’t manage most of the time as I am too busy doing the work the seniors should be doing but they don’t know how.

I’m sorry bud, we’re just slammed and short staffed on all the jobs. There’s just not enough time in a day to manage everyone. Once you get to a manager or SM level you’ll find out how really thankless your jobs is. You’ll wish you could go back to being a senior.

It doesn’t stop there. When you get to the director & partner levels, you still super senior, manage & need to take on the additional director / partner responsibilities.

Yeah I feel bad for my teams because I don’t have the capacity to fully manage them as I’m busy being the senior for jobs. I fight everyday not to fully drown. My good seniors that can work independently get the least of my time and attention. There’s also so much random admin shit the firm keeps pushing down for me to do.

Hello. Just curious on what's the salary ceiling for a manager position at Deloitte? Received a verbal offer and waiting on written offer. I was told by a recruiter that M at Deloitte doesn't make more than 180. Just curious if that's actually true and if anyone had experience negotiating higher salary than 180.

Should I leave my first permanent job as a team leader of 4 DPs in a FMCG business (only been there for 4 months) to join a huge Tech business for a 12months contract?

They offer me 60% more money than my permanent role. Circa 2000 dollars every month in my pocket

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.
