My husband & I are relocating to be closer to family next year. I always assumed I’d stay in my current role until the move, but things at work have become horribly toxic. I can’t stay in this environment for 10 more months. I’ve thought about trying to find a job in the new state that might let me start remote…but that feels like such a long shot. Any other recs? I’m feeling really hopeless & trapped recently.

How do you advocate for a "level" promotion in a company that has vague unofficial descriptions of levels? I'm doing L4-5 (on standard levels, or L3 within our system) work but can't get away from the unofficial "L2".

Making 140k with 7 yrs experience in this role, and 12 prior years experience in Systems Engineering roles. I know someone on my team is at 180k with a similar career.

Fighting with my manager atm on definitions of levels and feel like its a red herring.

My girlfriend is a masters student at a top tier target school and offered for me to join in to this career insights meeting where prospectives can ask IBers/consultants questions.

Their questions made me realize how green some of them are. The Qs were oriented around conducting social justice in the workplace or environmental activism. Like bruh you do PPT and Excel all day.

I cringe at this attitude towards the workplace by students, anyone else relate or am I being negative?

I’m graduating from my MSA program and I have two offers:

2) CMAAS @ PwC (trying to move offer to valuations)

I want to use these TAS roles to move into more M&A advisory roles like IB/Corp Dev. PwC comp is a decent amount higher due to the $10k salary increase so it makes the decision a bit harder. Would CMAAS make it impossible to make the jump to IB-type roles due to how much technical accounting is involved?
