Just recently switched to industry, and I can confirm that the “culture” consulting firms spew is all BS. Culture is created by your immediate team, it’s pretty hard to have a consistent company-wide culture. My new company is known to be intense but my team is nothing but fantastic, and I make more money and have much better WLB than I could’ve hoped for. It’s a world of opportunity out there, just gotta seize it.

Is Deloitte really that bad? From what I heard I’m better off where I’m at. Seems like the company culture and the standards you have to adhere to is ass.

I received an offer Friday for a new role that my mentor referred me to & she’s the director of the team. Its more in line with my career trajectory, fully remote, and the culture seems great. They offered 80k and told me the range is 70-80k and they were excited to offer the top of the budget. It’s a little amount but I was hoping for a min of 80, but really like 82k thinking about the role. Do I bother asking since they gave the disclaimer top of budget or ask bc there’s prob room?

Taking a poll: reasonable or unreasonable of me to be frustrated that my company scheduled me for a mandatory 2pm-5pm company culture training session on erev Yom Kippur? Is this something I can call them out on, or is it fair game because it’s not on Yom Kippur itself?

So I went on an approved PTO for 4 days (approved almost a month ago) to celebrate my bday and my newborn kid’s first trip. The client had some issues while I’m out (nothing over the top) and my delivery exec called and asked me to login. I responded by saying “I didn’t bring my laptop and I don’t carry it while on personal trip”. He was so shocked and basically yelled at me saying “I can’t believe you travel without laptop”. To this I replied cont…

What is the most outlandish/frivolous/insane expense that your agency has incurred for the sake of culture or new biz or anything really?

I shifted from Consulting over to a CSM role and am finding that even though I’m in a better place culture and pay wise, I’m feeling every day social anxiety that comes with a customer-facing role, making me think I’m not cut out for this and that I should move to something more internal, like corporate strategy. My worry is if I make this type of move, a paycut will always have to follow. Has anyone else felt this and can offer some advice?

I. Hate. Canvas.

Need some advice: Last year I left consulting to take a job in industry (a pay cut, but more freedom, WLB). Due to covid I switched to yet another company (same industry). It’s been half a year at the new place and I absolutely hate it. Not the work, but the company genuinely sucks. Considering a) mba for next fall (just as a reset) or b) job hopping yet again. I’m so demoralized that the past two industry jobs have gone so badly. I’m starting to regret not just staying in consulting...
