Saw a coworker get called out publicly for not responding to a weekend message. That could be me next. Is it worth finding a new job over, or are all workplaces like this now?

I had an exec email yell at me at 10:45 pm that I didn’t respond fast enough to her 10 pm email. I think this is everywhere now. It’s crazy.

No, a lot of places aren’t like this but it’s very boss/manager dependent. Like in my group, there’s no expectation to respond UNLESS you are in active trial or working against an imminent deadline (then the expectation is we’re all working weekend & keep your phone nearby).

Start looking or accept the fact that you will have to face some pushback at some point. I also routinely get emails on weekends. I answer them Monday.

Last year I moved internally from a
Paralegal level 11 w/ 14 yrs exp at
$100k base + up to 8% bonus to my
current role as compliance manager
level 9 at $123k base + up to 35%
bonus. I was above cap in my prior
role and now my range is up to $138k
base. I'm being recruited to my old
team as a level 10
Manager with
same base/bonus as now but since it's
a lower level I will cap out within a
year. I always found the legal work
more interesting but limited in career
growth. Not sure what to do.

I have a zoom interview coming up and I'm not sure how to go about properly asking about compensation if it is not my desired salary/pay. Does anyone have any tips about how to do so?

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!
