I'm so jaded 😬
I've worked at the same engineering firm for 4 years. I'm currently making $161k with only a $750 bonus, but excellent vacation (4 weeks, cash out anytime, rolls over indefinitely), 45 hours a week. I have an interview with a recruiter at Guidehouse this week for a Technical Project Manager role. It seems to be focused in the government space and requires a security clearance. What sort of salary and benefits could I expect for this sort of role at Guidehouse?

If you're not at least slightly sandbagging every client expectation and deliverable, you're doing it wrong
All 👏 the👏 freaking 👏 time👏
Underpromise and overdeliver to your clients.
Internal sandbagging doesn't make you look good. It makes your leadership think you're incompetent and/or incapable of managing your workload.
McK 1, not even slight sandbagging?
Not even a little bit.
I'd much rather you be honest about what you're capable of and ask for help if you get in over your head.
Mmm, earlier in my career I would underestimate my time for completing a task so I started adding a slight buffer as to account for unforeseen complications, I would call that slight sandbagging, but I guess you see it as an unnecessary buffer?
Early in your career I expect you to not be 100% on top of your workload. That's fine, you're new.
But once you know how to do your job, the expectation is that you start setting stretch targets for yourself, not coasting by on lowered expectations.
