How long do you plan to be in consulting before you exit? I've been in for two years and I feel crazy for already planning my next moves 🤔

Rode the wave for 2 years and just left for more pay and WAY (seriously I can’t believe how much more) more work life balance. I moved into Sales Engineering at a Cybersecurity company.

2 years is about standard tbf. So don’t feel bad. Attrition at most big firms is built to be around 20% a year at lower levels to keep the pyramid right. Leave when you want! You’ve got some skills, seen some cool things, and can exit to something good. Had a friend at Bain less than two years and they got a strategy position at Fortune 500 that is more chill than Bain and higher paying and the JD wanted like 4-5 YOE and an MBA. So just go for it if you need out

Wow everyone here is leaving so quickly lol. I've been in consulting for 8 years and I haven't made a plan to leave yet. This is the first year I've seriously considered it and I need to figure out if it's the right move for me.

Every day I wanna leave bro

Exiting on Monday!

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?

Should I leave my company? Been here 1.5 years and was told I was getting a management promotion 5-6 months ago.Still no solid traction and they are opening up a req for it 😑no one on the current sales team has ever been promoted (2 years)except our boss who has been promoted 3 times. We hit quote every month/q/year by a lot. I have several offers at double my OTE. Already asked what the timeline is for a new manager and I was told soon and I'm "up for consideration."

Hi fishes,

I think I am slipping into depression. My life seems to have no meaning and all I do is work. I don't get time for myself or my family, friends and loved ones. But I can't leave my job and take a break as I need the financial support.

I also feel I am earning way less than my peers which makes me feel like a loser. 4.5 years of work-ex and 16LPA.

What should I do? I need good wlb but also need money badly.
