Have you felt like the industry (including job searching) left you contempt or jaded to the point, you’ve started turning into a nihilist?

Yes. I’ve been feeling like that for a while. My biggest fear is that the feeling will never go away.

Same.

Yes. Very much.

Yup, over it

How did you get over it without lighting someone or something on fire?

Yea

Keeping industry and life separate. Getting full from life outside of work. That’s the only thing that really helps keep the jaded feelings at bay. Doesn’t help me love my job or industry more. It just helps me feel less mad.

Hi Everyone !!!

This June I completed my 9 months at Career Level 12 and Sub Level 3 I.e, CL 12.3 at
Accenture Operations. My Annual Talent Discussion and One-on-One with People Lead is complete as of last week.

I have 3 questions now :
1. When can I expect to move to 12.2 ?
2. What is the general hike I can expect ? And when it is reflected ?
3. When will be the variable pay will be paid out ?

Can anyone here help me with this performance cycle part ? I am really confused.
