It’s the year 2025. There are no consultants left. Everybody took jobs in industry. The economy is in a tail spin, there’s nobody left to do any actual work. Everyone just keeps calling vendors asking for proposals on work that nobody wants to do. Goldman Sachs has raised associate base salary to 250k. PwC has started recruiting middle school math teams. Somehow Deloitte has a new advertisement boasting a .0004% acceptance rate.

But seriously what G1 said. We have consultants/venders work on things we don't want to do / don't have the capabilities to do well

Hello, I have received an offer from Southwest Airlines as a Associate Technology Analyst with their direct college hire program. Will be graduating in May with a degree in MIS and also have internships experience as a Business Systems analyst intern. The salary compensation started off at 66,500 but was looking for the 75k range and they got back to me saying the best they can do is 68,500. They also have a 401k company match up to 9.3%. Do you think this is a solid offer for this job market?

I wanted to spread a little positivity this Friday afternoon. I just started a new job after casually interviewing for several months at the start of the year to do a little research on the marketing job market, and then seriously interviewing/searching since May. After coming close with several other jobs but something always going wrong (low ball pay, role put on hold, etc.) I finally got THE job. I’m excited about it, I’m paid well, and fully remote. So don’t settle, and don’t give up! ✨
