Just venting for a sec… Is it just me, or does everyone on LinkedIn seem to be getting promoted to crazy high titles super early? Sometimes I feel like I blinked and my entire grad school or the people I used to work with became directors overnight…

Its mostly word salad. VP and Director at a lot of those places is equivalent to sr consultant or manager

I’m leaving A&M restructuring for AlixPartners. I know I’ll make less money at Alix (better WLB though). They’re making me a “Director” but I’m currently a Sr. Associate at A&M 😂 also AlixPartners calls their Senior Director role a “Partner” so I somehow am one step from partner. It’s a joke.

Good luck in the new role nonetheless and credit for recognising the benefit of better WLB

Yes, my firm has been doing this for a while- it’s a way of keeping talent/ ostensibly pricing them out of a move elsewhere while giving minimal pay bump- also excuse to expand responsibilities wildly too on the cheap

Financial services has levels with "VP" and "Director" titles, but they're really "Manager" levels at other companies.

Title inflation.

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)

I’ve been on the bench with less than 10% utilization for 3wks now. I’m a first year and the past month has been slower with not many new projects coming in. I do see a few new projects come in every week but I’m not getting staffed on them. Should I be worried? Should I ask my PM if I should be worried? We’re in a pretty small group less than 20 people
