How do you know when you’re ready to make the leap from AS to AD?

Is there a point when MBA doesn't make financial sense? I'm 29 at $180k base with additional compensation typically around 15-25% over the last few years.

I like what I'm doing I think, but a top MBA had always been one of those personal goals of mine. Goal would be to maybe switch to MBB where I think compensation is slightly higher than what I'm getting right now at my level.

Does it make sense to do a 2 year program, probably be $200k in debt and miss out on $400k earnings :(?

I am looking to gain certification or other credentialing in diversity and inclusion, not only because it would look good on my resume both for future job-search purposes and also to become better educated in this area, which is growing in importance.
I looked at SHRM's "Inclusive Workplace Culture Specialty Credential" and got a bit of "sticker shock" at the cost - $1,655.00 for members.
Does anyone have other suggestions on training/credentialing in this area?

Hi! I am on a delicate situation in my career right know and I would like some advice.

My senior colleague by then working part-time requested becoming full-time again and promoted to Director. Would you leave in my situation if I dont have any offer yet?

Anyone have advice on how to graciously leave a very small law firm? I’m the only full time associate and feeling guilty about leaving. I have an in house offer that I’m extremely excited to take however and I want to give notice early so the transition won’t be too bad. I’m just nervous and hate that I have to have this convo.

I should go study abroad this month, but I am extremely anxious, I’m not excited about my course and overall not ready. Should I take a break and go next year or just do it? I did not think through the course I picked and it is new to the university so I would be in the very first batch. It’s in data science which I know nothing about and don’t even know if I’ll enjoy it. I’m so stressed about what the course will be like and what my opportunities would look like.

Breaking into product management at a major tech company seems infeasible. Which more accessible roles would you recommend instead? I'm leaning toward product marketing management or product strategy, which seem closer to product than program management, product operations, business operations or strategy and operations. What other roles should I investigate? (About me: 10 yoe, MBA, now in strategy consulting, with tech client/project exposure)

Started in a new role. It's become incredibly apparent how little I learned in risk and the learning curve is insanely steep. Leave ASAP if it's not for you, because the things you learn are useless unless you want to stay in compliance forever.

As a junior, a lot of peers from my generation immediately got internships at top agencies, while I had to start at a very small and un-creative agency.

At the time, it felt very frustrating, like I was running behind. But in hindsight, it was a blessing in disguise. I got a lot of responsibility very fast and I could develop my skills gradually, without being burned. I’m sure this first job helped me enormously later on in my career.

How did you start out?

I am a personal injury attorney making 79k with ability to keep 40% of anything I settle, bonuses for originating work for the firm.

I have offers from JP Morgan and Johnson controls and I am confused in choosing between both. Both are offering same package 15LPA fixed and Johnson controls also provides a variable of 1.4LPA , my YOE is 5.6. Johnson controls is offering a better tech stack. Position in Johnson controls - Senior DevOps Engineer and in JP Morgan the work could involve monitoring and pretty monotonous. Could someone please comment your thoughts?

I was recently promoted.. so I think. The company is going through reorg and with that, the minimum salary is being pushed to $52k/yr. I am currently earning $42k/yr and with this promotion, I was offered $55k. I am thankful for the recognition however, seeing as new employees will be hired in at almost the same rate; I’m not sure how to negotiate this. I would already be receiving a 23% increase but with the reorg taking place I would essentially be back a square one.

I’m on my first work trip since getting sober. I was scared that this would be one long trigger and I’d spend the whole trip either on the phone with my sober friends or sneaking drinks at the hotel bar.

But I’m here, and I’m fine. I found out one of my colleagues got sober too and it’s so much easier with them here. I guess Bill W was onto something.

Anyway very grateful to God and to all the drunks and addicts on here. One day at a time
