Feeling lost and looking for career advice. After several years in consulting, I lost interest in it seeing that the only way upward is to start selling work. I hate sales (and finance, so no PE/banks for me). Where can I exit that pays well, has a solid upward ($$$) potential without having to deal with sales? Google and Facebook are where my coworkers are leaving to coast. I don’t want to coast, I want to make money.

There is no solid upward potential without sales, anywhere. Selling is business.

What function do you enjoy? Analytics? Strategy? Then find that function within FAANG.

Strategy. Strategy & Operations at GGL and FB is where one goes to “retire” according to all my friends who work there. Great work-life balance but very slow upward trajectory and you get stuck getting paid around what I’m making in consulting now for years and years.

Most high comp jobs are sales jobs

Hi all, I moved into a role in marketing about 9 months ago and they let me know they were starting me off at $42k CAD because I was entering with no marketing background. Now that I've had time to learn more and show my abilities I wanted to get a feel for what Junior marketers make so I can ask for proper compensation when the time comes.

Received a job offer. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a concern I had about it. It's an entry level position, and I don't have much experience. The billables are 2040 a year. For billable hours in civil litigation and insurance defense, is 2040 hours for a 1st year associate on the high end in this field for a small or midsize firm? It seems like most attorneys I know have minimum requirements of around 1800. The compensation is around 80k a year.
