If I accept the promotion to Partner/Principal what's the least number of years I could work without it being a financial mistake. I have an opportunity to do something completely unrelated that's my passion, but I feel like that's the wrong decision when I'm this close.

The other opportunity should still be there for 2-3 years

At Deloitte there is a 10 year period to vest in the pension - some see this as a golden handcuff. But honestly, it is not a financial mistake even if you stay for 1 year. You get your capital out when you leave and you make more than most while you are there. The longer you stay, the bigger the reward. So your bigger risk is getting to a point where the financial compensation makes it just not make sense to move elsewhere and expect the same return on career investment.

OP. It could be different at EY. At Deloitte, I've only ever heard 10 years

I think you’re asking about the break even period, no?

10 yrs is the required vesting period

Vesting. I've heard 3, 5 and 10 years

What do you mean required vesting period? The unit shares have a vesting period? Anyone have a good source to read up on how this works?

The vesting period relates to the pension. The shares/units you pay for and that is the basis for your partner capital account (can fund the buy-in with a loan). You get your capital back if you leave. No vesting.

So I'm looking at 10 years to make it worth while? I plan to take the biggest loan they will let me

EY, you can take out a full loan and pay only the interest. Then you owe only the cost of the shares back. The vesting is related to the pension.

10-12 years.

Should I update my LinkedIn to say Salesforce Admin? I’ve been certified since October, so I have the role in my headline, but I’m thinking it’s time to update it in my work experience. I have been transitioned to work on only Salesforce related items with the company’s Salesforce Admin. When I asked my boss about a title change, however, they said that it’s doable but want to wait until performance reviews so they can couple it with a pay increase. As nice as this sounds I feel like It’s BS.

I’m in IT in a large corp and I don’t know what to do. I’m the systems engineer and I planned around what I thought was a straight forward concept. It appears what I thought would be possible was wrong. Everyone celebrated thinking I’d figured it out, including me. Were spinning up a full team to build it and I’ve exhausted all avenues to find an alternative solution. There isn’t. Horrified this is a career limiting situation….

I feel like I’ve really mucked up my early career choice. I enjoy mechanical engineering and I do believe that it CAN be a broad field, but nowhere near as much mobility as data science, business analytics, consulting, etc. I plan to get my MBA in the future and transition to project mgmt, but that’s well over 5-7 years away. Has anyone felt like they made a bad choice for undergrad, or do I just need to give myself more time? Currently an R&D Engineer at a private food/bev manufacturing company
