I currently work at a healthcare focused consulting firm in change management. The pay is great and I have been lucky that my managers have been fantastic (translating into a 9-5 work life balance). I just don’t really like the work, mostly because of the healthcare aspect of it. There isn’t another vertical in the firm that I would like more as I am not good with numbers or data really. I guess my question is should I look for another consulting firm outside of healthcare or am I siloed here?

Would you rather have WLB or grind at something that’s interesting? It really depends on where you’re at in life at the moment. A few years ago, I made the switch to strategy consulting because I had no major responsibilities and I loved the work. Now, I have a kid and I would rather focus on WLB even if the pay/progression is not where I would like it to be.

As you progress through your career, the hours will likely get worse and you’ll become even more siloed in your industry. I wouldn’t count on your management team as a constant - and definitely not your projects.

Some factors you should consider are: does the money and WLB outweigh your disinterest? If you found a more interesting industry, but with worse WLB, would the interesting work outweigh the increase in hours?

I am a clinical research coordinator working in Austin, Texas. I have my Masters in Cell & Molecular Biology and have a year of laboratory research experience.

I’ve been in my position for 5 months now. I make $27 hourly which amounts to about $51,000 yearly. Am I being under paid? Are all coordinator positions hourly? As a laboratory researcher I was salary :(

How do I go about asking for a raise or should I explore other companies or medical schools that have clinical research?

Why is education deemed more valuable on a pay scale than experience? Employers will pay someone with a degree and no experience a greater salary, than someone who has exhibited the experience. Understanding that the degreed person committed to school and finished, yet that doesn't diminish what the not degreed has committed to and accomplished in their careers. This has to stop!

I’m on the consulting side (FDD) and I’m curious if there are PE firms with good WLB. I’m happy with my pay, growth, and hours. PE interests me but I don’t understand why anyone would want to consistently work 65+ hours a week every week. What’s the appeal? Making double the pay? What’s the exit plan?
