I was recently promoted to senior, including a salary bump, and my manager respects me. But my opportunities for advancement seem to be limited until I pivot or obtain further degrees. I'm having trouble explaining this without coming across as bored or overly dramatic about an otherwise ideal job trajectory. Has anyone else applied while things were going well at work?

Explaining to who?

I applied because things were going well. I’d basically hit the ceiling of what my role could teach me without a bigger pivot, and I didn’t want to wait until I was frustrated or burned out to make the move.

Friends..
I have received an offer from KPMG Global Services, HR said there will be 10-20% yearly bonus apart from fixed CTC. But % numbers are not mentioned in the offer letter, Just they mentioned it as " You will be eligible for Performance bonus as per the company policy".

When I checked with HR for bonus % is not mentioned in the offer letter, she said... its not mentioned for everyone. 10-20% is common across all employees.

Is this okay ? OR anyone have their bonus % in the offer

Just got offered a job at a small biotech in London (UK). ~£45k plus bonus but only 1YR FTC and no equity.

Pretty sure it's a discovery role too.

I just finished my PhD at a very good uni with 3 years technician experience before that. BSc and MSc also at very good unis with good grades.

I think this offer is well below par, but curious to hear what you guys think/if you have any comparisons?

Thanks in advance :)

My colleagues

I am 22 years after college experience and worked in consulting for 15 years and currently in industry for 7 years.
My long term goal is to go back to consulting more of a business advisor from a strategy perspective
Here is my question
Would MBA be any good for me especially looking at strategy side?
I don’t want to spend $200K and would probably go online MBA in a mid tier school. Are those any good?
