I really want to hold on to the idea that a full-time job should at least cover the essentials, but it’s starting to feel like that’s not a thing anymore. Are we all just kidding ourselves, thinking wages in this industry are meant to be livable? I feel like I’m failing at adulting, but maybe I've set the bar too high for myself. Anyone else feeling this way?

Many people that I work with, excluding management, has second jobs. I’m a manager and I’m trying to figure out a way to have more income, when technically I’m supposed to be available anytime, and I work 52-53 hours per week already.

It feels like being punished for trying. No wonder a large number of people are disengaging with industries and are just job-hopping. There is no greater monetary theft than wage theft.

I’m graduating in December, with a background in environmental economics and policy. Consulting didn’t work out this cycle. Made it to final rounds for Bain and Kearney but in the end didn’t get an offer. I want to recoup and try again, but I’m worried that once I’m out of undergrad the door will be closed to starting in consulting.

What can I do to make this happen? I have friends and connections at Bain and Kearney and the other firms as well, but not sure if it’s feasible now.
