I'm completely burned out, but it feels like everyone else on my team values "toughing it out." How can I bring up my mental workload with my manager without sounding like I can't handle the pressure?

Try to frame it as a workload issue. You aren’t able to perform your best when managing X amount of tasks. You want to be effective, not sacrifice quality. Bring a solution too.

About to get promoted at PwC from Associate to Senior Associate (mgmt consulting). I interviewed at Deloitte for a Consultant position, but they’re potentially giving me an offer for BA. I’d essentially be holding out on the promo until next promo cycle. Usually, I’d understand hiring at a level below for higher levels but I feel like doing a 3rd year as a junior might not be the best decision. Should I push HR for Consultant level? I haven’t gotten the official offer letter yet, just verbal.
