Told you all that hard work would pay off 👏👏. Plz finish deck by tomorrow 😂.

But seriously congratulations 🍾🍾

Hopefully it’s good though 🤪

Not to be a wet blanket, but if I could go back I would try not to get promoted from my old role. Gets shittier and shittier the higher you move up, and most of the extra $$ you get goes to the taxman. Tldr - either way you will be good!

Ooo good luck!

True story. My boss asked me my career aspirations and I wanted to say, I’ll stay here, doing this, for the foreseeable future. Don’t have to worry about me for like 3 yrs lol

Yes it annoys me to no end now. I have at least 3 "coaches" who are always pushing me and frankly seem more worried about my career progress than I am. Wish it was acceptable in consulting to just admit "I'm just here for the paychecks right now till I can find something better. No interest in actually developing further skills or more promotions" haha

So tell us the good news OP!
