Recently started at a new firm. Was very clear about the role prior to starting (presales & sales) - it is written out in my offer letter. The new firm has run into delivery issues and is trying to tag me into delivering a program that is unrecoverable. Not what I want to do with my life. Direct management is aware that this is not what I want to do and wants me to take one for the team. Escalate and ruffle feathers, or just walk out? Been at new firm for about a month.

If it’s a consulting firm, welcome to consulting. If it’s not, renegotiate a large turnaround bonus. Otherwise walk out. If they give it to the new guy, they know it’s going to fail bad.

Ah. All consulting firms are like this. Utilization is king.

Are aggressive non-competes show stoppers for direct admit partners at MBB & T2? I'm a partner at a small boutique firm and we have very tight non-competes. Biggest issue is a 9 month period before starting new role at competing firm. I'm being recruited by a few firms. The recruiters seem to think it's a non issue but wonder if when it gets to offer stage it becomes a show stopper when partners realize I may not be able to start for 9 months. How do your firms handle these situations?

I was in a position of leadership before being demoted earlier this year. It wasn’t called that, but I was given a different role and they hired someone to take my spot. My boss has since expressed regret for this decision calling it hasty on his end

I had access to all the things I was managing for months into my new role and discovered when they hired 5 new entry level positions, all got 45k (women) except one, who got a 60k (1man). The 60k man works on my team and is sort of awful.
