Input on ghSmart?
Was reached out to by their team and have read about it — love the focus area of their firm and conceptually the way the talk about balance, but a bit skeptical and would love to get insight from anyone who works/worked there to understand it better. Specifically, how does the staffing actually work and what’s the reality of work/life balance. Knowing there isn’t junior staff / analysts, how much analytics are you doing and via what tools? How does comp above base work?

It’s real because they don’t have staffers. It’s freedom and choice. Meritocracy comp. Experienced consultants only so very high end clientele and yet plenty of flexibility so you can have a life too, more than anywhere I’ve seen. Impact, money, and freedom.

Im in a junior position, have excellent feedback, work hard. I make very little $. I had 2 job offers and told my current company I couldn’t afford to stay there. They immediately matched. 4 months later I followed up and the timing of the adjustment will now align with the timing cost of living increases for inflation which apparently I’m ineligible for. Should this exempt me from a cost of living increase due the adjusted salary 5 months after we agreed to this?
