I work for a manager who is extremely toxic. I get decent money and it’s very hard to get any role that can come close to my current comp. Choice - do I continue to work for such a manager who has a very heavy impact on my mental health or end up taking a role that’s 25 percent less than what I make.

There’s no price on long term mental health.

Get out and find a role where you can be mentally at peace. That’s worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in long term healthcare costs.

Mental health can have a significant impact on other aspects of life, including family, friends, and overall well-being. If you don’t address, these impacts can compound and become overwhelming. I recommend taking proactive steps to mitigate the effects on your mental health. Focus on developing your skills and finding a job that offers at least 90% of your current compensation. Prioritize taking regular mental health breaks to allow your brain to rest and recharge.

I interviewed for KPMG on 11/15 for a Senior role and the HR emailed me on 11/16 that everyone liked me but they think I should be hired as an Experienced Associate. I had a call with the HR on 11/17 wherein we discussed about my salary expectations and the HR said he will get back in a day. It’s been more than 10 days and multiple follow ups but still no response. I don’t think I was rude while talking to the HR, I just told my current salary and asked for min. that no. Did i miss the chance ?

Good Morning all,

I may be low on the experience side so I’m willing to look at contract/ entry roles as well. Also, any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
