So I feel like my company won't promote women to director. I bust my arse and had been doing what my director was supposed to do for my piece of our dept. So I stopped bc I wasn't the director nor getting that compensation. Now the company wants to expand again but they are focused on branches of management and not focusing on the fact that they don't enough senior people and therefore the delivery managers are managing while still being fully billable as a consultant, which is ridiculous.

It really is not easy to make it to director from manager/senior manager. It is the hardest jump anyone can make. Harder than dir/sr dir to VP and harder than VP to SVP.
I feel like manager/sr manager to director is so hard because it feels like this invisible line of whether the senior/executive leadership sees a future for that person at the company and do they really enjoy/like this person. It’s so much more about “soft”/leadership skills and being likable than it is about being able to do the job tactics

Am I craztly for staying? I am curious as to whether I will kill any career goals I have if I. Just step back for a bit to recover the ridiculous hours I works and then re evaluate in a while. I just don't want to kill any chance of I'm wrong and there is really a valid reason why they won't make me a director. I plan to talk to them and ask direct questions but just curious if women have had this happen to them and how you handled it.

Do I take a new offer as an associate director knowing that no one else is an associate director or do I just stay where I am and try to just get my work life balance back?

I got an offer from another firm for 24lpa but they have shared the offer letter of DOJ after 2 months and asked me to negotiate my notice period or look for buyout. What should I do in this case? Should I connect with my current hr to negotiate? Cause I tried convincing the new hr to share the offer letter of DOJ after 3 months but she is not in the favour of that.

Moving on from Hotels (Hospitality)?

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now, but it is very to commit to actually accept a new job offer since I really do love my job. My only complaint is, the pay vs workload is very small. I’m a manager now and my property offered me a director position… but the salary is still low! To make six figures, it’ll take another 5-6 years to grind it out.

Should I move on and go to a different industry? Opinions are welcome! Thanks in advance.
