I filled up my car this week and genuinely paused when I saw the price. It made me think about how much everyday costs influence career decisions. If fuel and living costs keep rising, will you start prioritising salary over everything else?

I've been doing that for a while. All of this just makes it even more important to keep it up. Costs are not going to be coming down. Only way to stay afloat is by making more.

I understand that perspective. When everyday costs keep climbing, increasing income starts to feel less like ambition and more like survival. It pushes a lot of people to prioritise earning power much earlier in their career decisions.

Hi all, I just got a job offer at PwC for a senior consultant position. The salary is 30% above my total comp right now, but I’m just worried about the amount of work I will have to put in compared to my amazing work life balance now. Does anyone have any experience moving from industry to consulting? I need some advice on what to do. I’m still early in my career (1.4yoe) so I feel like I shouldn’t care too much about wlb, but at the same time, I don’t want my mental health to suffer either.
