I just joined a large consulting firm doing functional work and I'm bored out of my mind. I've previously been a teacher, then recruiter, now technical consultant. Everything is so boring to me but I learn most things pretty quickly. Anyone have career advice or direction to deal with this? If I don't find value in my work life it makes me feel super apathetic... I have high ish salary expectations because $ gives me anxiety/grew up poor. I've spoken to career counselors, life coach, etc.

Your a technical consultant doing functional work? If you’re new it sounds like there’s still a lot of technical development to be had. I’d double down and spend a few years mastering your tech stack then jump ship 🤷‍♂️.

Considered sales?

I’m assuming you’re not managing multiple teams, owning multiple bd efforts or responsible for revenue yet. Take this time to learn and most importantly grow your network. You will long for these days when you look back.

What are you passionate about? Start there and we can figure out the revenue part later. Happy to help if I can

As I'm moving to a new role in a small company, I have a doubt about my salary structure like the Basic salary part is only 20,000 while my take home is 62k after all deductions.

I'm concerned because the leave encashment & other things totally depends on the basic salary.

Are there not any rules for the Basic salary to be at a certain % of CTC or it depends totally on the company?

Also PF deductions they are offering only 1800 p.m but considering 20000 basic it should be 12% of 20000 right?

Question for the Biglaw Bowl: How common is it to take a pay cut when being promoted from associate to income partner? I had heard about this happening at some lower ranked V100 firms. But now that I’m more senior and my friends are making partner, it sounds like it’s a lot more common than I thought and happens at firms where I wouldn’t expect it. Does anyone here have any insight into this? How common is it, how much of a pay cut, and how long until your pay catches up to associate pay?
