I just made Senior Manager after 10 straight years of grind in management consulting (CFO). I’m excited but I also feel like I need a break. How do you go about this and then come back to zero pipeline and missed time at the firm.

Hmmm, deligate some tasks and take a break for a week or two but hold on to your job. The market is crazyyyy

Tomorrow, I know I will be asked to continue pushing forward with pre planned campaigns that upsell products and services that to groups already in dire straits. After the events of this weekend, I ethically disagree with acting “business as usual”. I’ll raise this with my team, but I anticipate a crossroads with leadership (I am fairly new, younger, junior, woman POC to the org.) If this results and BAU does not change, is it more right to leave my job? Or stay where change is needed?

Maybe any good water bottles that help you drink more?
