Could you ask a more overly general question please?

As TSC points out, your question is pretty genera and broad with a lot of variables. I will, however, share with you how I feel about it. Consulting works as a meritocracy- when you are ready for the next level, you are promoted. Industry works as a partial meritocracy- when you are ready for the next level and the position opens up, you are promoted. So it is easier to progress and progress more quickly in consulting. That said, if you make it to the very top of a Fortune 100 company you can make more than a senior partner in consulting (on a total comp basis). But as a partner in consulting I can tell you that I make 7 figures and I don’t have some of the same stresses my industry peers do.

How often have you all jumped between cyber roles? What are your thoughts on consistently jumping to keep getting pay bumps?

Recently ended a 3+ yr relationship (were both mid 20s and living together for just under 2 years) bc of him buying an engagement ring yet not proposing and waffling about our future. After 2 weeks I brought up that there’s a lot of good in us that maybe worth trying to work on (counseling etc). He wants space first and asked me to not wait for him as he sorts out his emotions and “tries to be happy again” (COVID depression and 100hr work weeks). Then he’ll decide if he wants to try again

My VP keeps asking for next year’s roadmap but every week wants it formatted differently and it’s driving me crazy. They don’t seem to know what they want and I have so much else to do than tweak the layout and colors and notations a few times each week. When I’ve asked what format and level of info the CTO prefers, my VP says they don’t know and I need to be okay with ambiguity. I’m losing any patience and good will I had.

It’s not much compared to most of the posts I’ve seen in this bowl, but I finally hit $10k NW after I started working FT in August.
Everyone in this bowl has been a tremendous help in this process. I’ve never been good at saving, so this is a big milestone for me. Thank you again to everyone who gives out advice in the bowl, it is truly invaluable. Happy NYE! ❤️

I was part of Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd.
The HR relationship manager was Deepa Vishwanathan. I resigned in May two years back and last working day was in Aug after serving three months notice.
However, due to error on human resource part they updated record as last working date in May. So whenever I was applying for any position there was mismatch in last working day mentioned in my resume and in human resource records with Kotak. Does it have impact on my profile not getting shortlisted?
