I have recently joined EY SaT group as senior consultant recently in Netherlands. I’m tripple masters in MS economics, MBA and MS business analytics. Have 4 YOE in different industries but no M&A experience specifically. Any ideas what company should be offering me? I’ll be working as expert on commercial due diligence, FDD and valuation teams and doing automation alongside. is it wise to demand higher salary or promotion soon after I have proven that I can work and do it better than most?EY

I never have an issue with this… and I actually prefer it to be blunt. My only issue is when you get it too late to make a corse correction.
I always make a point to ask for feedback back with time to corse correct if needed. This has always ensured my leadership has zero choice but to give positive feedback.
I only ever had 1 person not take me up on this opportunity… and he was just determined to give me a poor rating. Not sure what was up with this guy but his plan back fired because I had documented my request for early feedback which had been ignored. The bad rating was removed from my record.
My point is seek feedback, take it well, but know not everyone has the best intentions for you.
Is it actually criticism? Or is it constructive feedback that is based on grounds for you to improve?
I understand that what I’m about to write is much easier to articulate than to put into proactive: view criticism as a gift leading you to be better.
For most of us it’s not often in life that we receive critical feedback. But without that feedback we can’t really grow. Whether the feedback comes from a place of malice or genuine care really doesn’t matter as the difference in reaction between those are simply a matter of your personal reaction.
If the criticism is from a place of malice it only achieves its goal if you allow it to result in an emotional reaction. The best, and hardest, thing to do is turn it into an opportunity for growth. Often-times, someone lashing out at you will be excessively honest. Take that attack, reference against what you think you know about yourself, and use it to adapt and be better with what is true. Importantly that truth can be in either perception or reality.
If the criticism is from a place of care take time to really value the person giving it. It is easy to ply someone with platitudes. It takes someone who is truly caring to have what most consider an uncomfortable conversation with you. That is usually a person that you should want to keep in your life.
