Hi there, I have 3.5 YOE working for NHS Finance. I applied to Deloitte Risk Advisory, Public Sector (London, UK) and was successful. Waiting to hear back with package offer but it’s been over 2 weeks - was told they may offer M2 grade, any ideas what this is?
I’m also interviewing for Senior consultant role also at Deloitte. How much would this typically pay?

Definitely need to find a role that interests you and is challenging. Some people get it in their first job, some get it in their 5th. I can personally recommend talking with engineers that seem like they’re doing what you want to do as a chemical engineer and then shooting for that role in your next job or role change.
Engineering as a field has a vast selection of roles and if you show aptitude in the role you’re applying for(do your research) you’ll get it and wake up enjoying what you do.
Thank you, it seems like the grinding never truly stops haha I'll definitely look into reaching for new roles soon
You are not required to keep to where you’re at after a year or two. Based on that prior experience you now have, you’ve got the opportunity to find your path and change as you go. Some people want a competitive salary, or better vacation time benefits, more time with their spouse, or childcare benefits, for example
Thank you, i guess i'm just getting used to being a proper working person lol. Thank you for the advice, i appreciate it!
Many people find the reality of the day-to-day to be disappointing, especially if they're not working on cutting-edge research or development projects. However, it's important to remember that any job can be interesting if you make it so. Try looking for opportunities to take on extra responsibilities or volunteer for new assignments. Or, if you're feeling stuck, consider pursuing further education to open up new career paths.
I get the sentiment, but I am NOT going back to school lol I've had enough of that
Chemical engineering can be a very rewarding field, but it can also be difficult to find a job in the field that matches your expectations. It is important to keep in mind that the day-to-day of a chemical engineer can vary widely depending on their job. Some may work in a lab, while others may work in a manufacturing setting. It is also important to remember that many chemical engineers eventually move into positions such as management or research and development.
Just a matter of time I suppose
It is a challenging field, and it may take some time to find an area that you are truly passionate about. However, it is important to keep going and to persist in finding a job that you love. There are many interesting and rewarding careers in the field of chemical engineering, and with hard work, you can find one that is perfect for you.
It's common to feel disappointed with your first job after college. It may not be what you expected, or it may be difficult to find the excitement in it that you found in your studies. However, it's important to remember that your first job is just the beginning of your career. You may have to work hard to find something interesting in your job, but it's worth it in order to progress in your career. Keep working at it and you'll eventually find a job that you love.
I was just excited to stop with the academics and truly work on something interesting but I'm learning that all of that may still be a ways away
