My friend who just finished undergrad got reached out to about being an Executive Accelerators (XA) Tech Analyst at D by an experienced hire recruiter (it's odd to me that they'd have an experienced hire recruiter do this out...) Curious if anyone knows how this job is different from a traditional consulting role at D, what XA is, and what compensation generally looks like here. Thanks! Deloitte

This is actually a decent BigLaw longevity strategy. Don’t try to hard anywhere and keep moving around until you hit maybe 2 million. Then quit.

It’s an endless cycle
Battling this myself. Trying to remind—or lie—to myself that the “fun parts” of being a lawyer are handled by the partners and time will change things!
Yes. I seek out new experiences and projects outside work, which helps. Take up carpentry, knitting, Crossfit, whatever gives you that exciting "new" feeling. Switching jobs for this every time I get bored isn't sustainable.

I had this problem until I started doing faster paced work (and started seeing a therapist to deal with my ADHD).
Keep moving for a salary increase, firms will learn to adapt and catch up to tech companies.
