I would generally say this is not consulting specific and more of a life thing

I love consulting because even if you’re doing everything perfectly, there’s always a supervisor who thinks they must give any form of feedback and may tell you that you’re too nice in emails.

Note: NOT that I’m doing everything perfectly by any means but supervisors who just fish for something negative to say because they feel as if they must provide any form of feedback

This post is one of those things...get back to work!

Some feedback providers in consulting seem to focus on the development opportunities and not as readily recognize work done well. We all have room for improvement but positive feedback would be welcome too

Not all projects are like this, sometimes you get an amazing team and culture. It’s an early sign of a bad environment and in my experience rarely ends well

People yell at you? Really?


That'd be a ,buh-bye moment for me. Not getting yelled at by clients or colleagues.

If you are really getting yelled at then in doubt it’s s 130:1 ratio. Probably more like 1:1

Currently making ~$300K TC in a strategy role. Was just offered a different role (account manager) in the same company with a slight increase in base salary and a 50% TC increase if I hit sales target (even base case would be ~30% increase in TC).

Have never really considered account management / anything with a sales target, but I like money.

Thoughts? Things I should consider?
