I am in a corporate strategy manager position. Independent contributor. The job is a breeze but in my industry FS and I love the industry. But my company is a snooze fest in terms of pace of innovation and change. The work we do 100% does not matter. And really ive been here for 2 years and not a single decision, action, or outcome has been produced from our work which is actually sad. I genuinely cannot put anything on my resume that says "we did ABC". Should I move on?

Grass is not always greener on the other side brother. Total comp is great and so is work life balance.

If anything upskill yourself on AI capabilities and major players to understand what use cases are out there. Then maybe you can begin to shape those conversations with leadership to explain why the trajectory should be to adopt AI or get left behind and see if they get on board

Doing that for sure. Im on Claude most nights. And I started a side hustle

Where do you work and how can I get this job?

Ill add the money is good. Total comp is 285K. And im not working past 5 pm. And I have no risk of losing my job which I know is wild to hear.

I know the job market is ugly right now, but im also worried that im missing the boat on new AI things. I know my company is behind the curve on adopting all of that stuff.

Im also hugely not a fan of the executive team and the board. They are complete schmucks. They need to be excluded from decisions or genuinely held accountable for stupid sht.

Yeah my past job in FS sounded exactly like what you described, though total comp was not nearly as high (~$215k). Like others said, many people would switch with you in a heartbeat.

Take the downtime to up skill yourself. A friend did so and teaches AI courses now (and still has a full time job). Lots of ways to get the skills you’re looking for without sacrificing a good thing.

Good evening Everyone, I have been a PSR for 10 years with the same company, but worked for 5 different practices.

Currently awaiting an offer for a new sales role. Salary somewhere between 100-120, OTE 160-200 depending on base. I intend to ask about annual merit increases and what they have been previously, but was wondering if anyone had ever negotiated an annual increase based on inflation in addition to any performance based merit increases. Seems like a smart way to protect myself while times are so volatile and not get stuck with the typical 3% when inflation is 8+. Thoughts?
