C1 2x’d his analyst salary and is earning straight $$ now. He can finally afford the payments on his 3 series AND pay for his own streaming subscriptions without eating ramen every night.

It’s not really. The main difference is that MI associates are expected to have exceptional client hands, are generally experienced hires, and have a preference for sticking around a bit longer and seeing the strategy get executed.
You’re expected to have the same set of skills as generalists, and will likely be staffed on a mix of work.

Sure

MI here. No difference. Same interview, same evaluation criteria, same staffing opportunities. As M1 said, they are generally experienced hires and expected to spike in client hands/counseling but you have to at least meet the bar across the full toolkit (with spikes in some areas). MI get staffed on everything from long ops implementation to pure strategy to DDs. MI are expected to affiliate with sector and functional practices, develop knowledge platform just like integrative. It’s a partner path.

I honestly don’t know. I’ve staffed an MI EM and an MI associate in the past on different projects and they were no different than “integrative” EMs who were functional practice dedicated.

Guilt and shame about working in a legal position for years where, instead of using my law degree (was supposed to do legal work per the job posting), I served as a personal assistant to my boss/did nothing for maybe half the time. I feel like I was paid for work I didn't do. I've since left that job but the guilt and shame remains. I feel that I lack the character of a lawyer and that I am unworthy of the profession. I don't know how to make up for the lost years or how to forgive myself.
