Mercer folks - can you share the career levels in consulting? Thank you so much! I'm trying to understand my target level. 7 YoE.

I managed to be hired by a really good company so naturally the impostor syndrome in me is now in full gear. Obviously, I must know things to have been hired, but I feel like there's so much I still don't know about product design. I got here through short courses and some books and articles and faking it till I made it. I am thinking to take a proper PD course now that I can afford it, if not to learn something new, then to affirm what I already know.

Thoughts on this plan of mine? Hehe

S& vs MBB in Middle East. Thoughts for future exit opportunities, type of work, career options? Should one hold out for an MBB role in a year vs getting a more attainable S& role now ish?

In other industries exiting after a few months for a diff opp is a faux pas. Is that the same when jumping from in-house to in-house? Having difficulties getting along with my new boss and thinking of jumping ship. Ofc I will try my best to make it work but curious what the consensus is.

Hello mates,
Just joined Infosys on Monday and got a call today for an opening in Unilever project. The person mentioned that I will be replacing another resources for now who is on medical leave and would be working on something that is a little below my skill level. Once that resource is back (after 2-3months) I would be transitioning to a better role with more options to look and learn.

As I'm very new here, should I be trusting the word of mouth? It all happened over call. Please suggest

After 5 years as an AE / Sales Manager, what are the next possible career paths?

I love sales and wish I could stay as an individual contributor, but I feel like I am not getting anywhere with the salary i want, and the job itself I feel isn't using all of my potential/skillets (plus I'd like to learn and put into practice more).

So I'm really keen to hear from others what steps they took in their career to get into roles they love doing now but still within the sales side of an organisation.

What’s your long term goal, both career and personal and how you came to that goal??

Is this H-1B ban actually going to happen? US embassies are closed due to the pandemic. Not sure what the EO accomplishes. I just told my cousin it isn’t worth it to come to the US right now.

Indian 29M suffering from anxiety and depression. I tried to open with my family members back home and they just ridiculed me saying its just a state of mind and you are just sad and nothing more.

On top of that they are pushing me to get married. I tried to let them know I do not feel like talking to any of girls because of my state of mind. They are like once you get married it will go away on it own.

Afraid of taking anti-depressant but I guess no other option left
