Do you ever wonder if people make up initiatives just to have something to do? I’ve been roped into a project team that is “reviewing our data sources” and we’ve been doing random meetings and completing investigation assignments for the past month and a half. Not much has been happening with it, and it all just feels like a lot of busywork.

As long as I'm getting paid, I don't mind. Give me all the busy work, as long as I'm getting paid my normal salary. I'm sure they'll find something more substantial for you to do eventually but for now, you're still making money and that's what matters.

Today I was walking back to the hospital from my car some random guy came up to me and asked me for directions while I was still in the lot.

And before you ask yes he was.

My current company and many others I know about do not offer the mobility to do so until much later, which is not what I want. Thank you.

There is this big bank where I'd love to work at, and after several interviews for various positions they end up promoting someone from within, even thou I understand it and think it’s good they promote their people, it left me feeling like I'm just being used to comply with the process.

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?
