I was just told that I would be promoted to a senior associate role at one of the Big 4. I know I should be happy and proud that the past 2 years of hustle and moments of self-doubt truly came to fruition. But in all honesty - I am still unmotivated to go to work everyday (been struggling to open the laptop the past month) and I don’t feel fulfilled by any means. I know so many people want to be here and I feel guilty - Has anyone ever felt similar?

I had a similar experience in the past. I’d recommend to understand what’s bothering you and why you feel this way. Is it the company culture? The industry? The people? The job itself? Maybe you’re stressed/burnout?
If things can be changed within the company, talk to your mentor/supervisor (e.g. to evaluate the possibility of changing industry, projects or team depending on your needs). If nothing can be changed at your current job, try to understand what you’d like to have/learn from your next job and start applying for new opportunities while working on your current position.
Finally and most importantly, try to take some time off to relax and enjoy your accomplishments and your promotion.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!

Square Veeva @teletracking

Trying to decide between 3 offers remote/Columbus

Square is 84k salary 5k bonus and 80k stocks vesting over 4 years
Veeva is 100k salary 20k bonus and 25k Stocks each year forever
Teletracking is 125k cash 5k bonus

I know about Square the most and if they paid closer to Veeva and Teletracking I’d probably go there but it seems like they underpay.
The Veeva culture seems really good but it’s a sustaining engineer position for year 1 so debugging

I applied for a job at Visa and was contacted the same day. A few days later I had a 30-minute screening interview with the hiring manager.

Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?
