It used to be that I had those mood swings (enjoyment to depression to enjoyment) every few months, now I have them within a day. I think at this point working in consulting is a manifestation of the Stockholm syndrome

Sorry lil bro

I do a mostly full-time primary client engagement, then moonlight as a very part-time SME for two international engagements in a different area. Keeps things much more interesting. All remote, all different time zones, so makes it easier to juggle. Also, makes for a very interesting, broad reach impact story at year-end.

I’ve built a reputation I’m proud of @ my company. I’m underpaid for what I do (started as an intern) & recently asked for a market adjustment. Management acknowledged that I’m undervalued & plans to set me up for a promotion. It’d come with more responsibility, which doesn’t align with my goals.

Is it wise for me to remain open to a promotion just for increased pay? Or should I be transparent with management about my goals (& possibly not get the pay I’m asking for)? Or any other tips?
