If you consider yourself young and have zero responsibilities outside of the standard housing/food then you should do it. You can always boomerang back

Financial responsibility. If you can afford to be out of a job for a few months in case it tanks then go for it

High risk is high reward(potentially). If young and no responsibilities then why not give it a go

Anyone have advice for advancing in your current role? My co-worker was hired in at manager level but somehow “proved” he was actually doing director level work and got a title promotion and salary increase in less than a year. I also went above and beyond my job as well (covering for him for a month while he was away on paternity leave) while taking on other projects outside of my job title and got zip—no raise or recognition. Any advice would be appreciated!

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
