Got almost 8y exp at a B4 in consulting. Kinda bored of my work cos I feel I’m not learning new technical skills. But I’m growing more into SM role. Should I seek a lateral move or stay & climb up?

Giving myself a conservative 3 years to get SM and another 5-8 years to get partner. Seems like a very long time to be climbing in the same competency/practice within consulting. Any advice?

In my organization, most with my role are commission based. I make a set salary due to the firm I work for as an account manager/ coordinator for clients… I coordinate their enrollments, working with each groups HR department as to benefits and payroll purposes, and schedule our benefit counselors accordingly. I am finding that in most cases where I compare the voluntary benefits industry, I might be underpaid. What is an appropriate base salary for a position in which commission is replaced?

Hi Editors!
What did your transition from AE to editor look like?

5 months ago I joined an advertising post house as a full-time AE. Through the support of a lead editor at the company I found my way into making cuts for the company’s most prestigious client. At this point, I’ve been the sole editor of one global campaign and a co-editor of another, in addition to cutting many social media videos. It’s only 5 months but I can’t help feel that my title doesn’t reflect the work I actually do.
