There are no regrets to this move, it’s just exceptionally hard to do at the right salary

Hate it, genuinely. The state of modern British corporations is pretty poor overall. I’ve never seen so much waste in my life, so much poor judgment and make-work jobs. The state of consulting is bad too, but it’s nowhere near as bad as industry. The best exit from consulting is to contract and stack multiple contracts.

Haven’t been able to make the conversion personally but a few my friends have. They’re the ones retiring at age 50 whilst I’m still suffering in garbage corporates. Plus zero corporate politics when you’re a contractor.

Consulting to Big tech. Loving no timesheets 🤣 and definitely less bullshitting and more doing.

However there’s a bigger air of layoffs in big tech. But definitely fun to be at the forefront of AI rather than just “talking about AI” in consulting when all we’ve done is just one project and we’re “experts” now

I started my career as an org social coordinator. 2 years later I’m now a generalist (Work in progress) - but I manage Google ads, org social, blog, seo, PR & affiliate programs.

I learned all of the above within 6 months and now own all those channels as an associate… not a manager (and won’t be one until we hire someone for me to manage as per my boss).

In your opinion, what should my salary look like if I have a remote job living in NY? I know I am currently underpaid..

Does anyone else suffer with paralysis? Mine is so bad I don’t even know what to do anymore. In example, something as simple as responding to a text with a heart and a “happy thanksgiving to you too” was all I needed to do and I didn’t. Now it’s Sunday and I feel awful responding so late. I’m procrastinating with life errands and feeling the burn. I do the biggest bare minimum at work and I’m pretty sure people are started to notice. Everything is making my anxiety and overthinking worse.
