Could anyone kindly tell me about the Investment Management and Private Equity Audit Group at Deloitte? 1. Work Life Balance (Is it worst than the ordinary Big 4 WLB?) 2. Is it an entirely different audit from commercial/retail audits (think account balances etc.) 3. Difficult to learn how to audit clients in this industry without prior experience in the industry?(been doing commercial audits for 3 years) 4. Are there relatively good exit opportunities for this audit group? Deloitte PwC EY
DM me for referral in TCS
Is it wise to switch from service based to product based or vice-versa..or stay in same league....let's consider wlb, growth, hikes, onsite, perks, benefits..

TBWA NY layoffs today.
New to Fishbowl?
unlock all discussions on Fishbowl.
Sounds like you have it made.
I am in nyc lol
Volunteer. Do something worthwhile with the extra time. Something that actually matters.
Get a side hustle.
I’m actually doing this ironically. Have been trying to get freelance gigs and also learning a bit of python in the mornings
Can I have your job please
seconding that
Most of the time I try to engage in productive discussions on this app. But after the unnecessary flex and extra words to ask “who else isn’t challenged by their job” shows an ambiguous intent of the post. In conclusion, see link below:

Here’s some perspective—it took countless years and consulting gigs for me to clear 6 figures, finally in my late 30s… so your doing just fine… invest time, not money in a side hustle / which may become the real deal if you put your mind to it!
sounds like you should stop complaining
Switch to the creative department.
He’s ready.
Pay off your debts and invest the money. You'll thank yourself in your 30's
You create work. Work isn’t given to you. Make an impression and be assertive. Make a game of it if you have to. What’s to lose?
Good advice. I needed to hear this tonight. Thank you.
This was me for three years earlier in my career. I eventually decided to leave and took a much more demanding job to try to make up for what I felt like I hadn’t learned. It was hell for the first year as I adjusted. Hated it.
But I made so much work and advanced to a level in one year that would have taken another three at my other place.
Then left because I was over having no work life balance, but I was able to use that experience to jump a level and get a $60k raise at the next place.
Solid thanks
Fight me.
Can’t relate… but in addition to the volunteering and side hustle advice, there are always opportunities to make improvements at your company. Identify areas that could use improvement (for example: the intern program, onboarding new hires), and take initiative to make the changes. You’ll learn a lot as it’s basically running a project.
If I were you, I’d freelance on the side. Or if you’re real ballsy, you could find a totally separate full time gig and double up 🌝
Money comes and goes as does physical and mental health. My first instinct thought how lucky you are but after some thought, I woke to thinking money is not everything. I agree you should pay off your debts, purchase yourself a home and learn to live with less then you will set yourself for a fulfilling life ahead where you can choose another path not governed by money. I say hold onto the job and find an exploratory outlet that fuels your future goals. Take a class, volunteer, learn a new skill.
I made $100k my second year out of school in banking, but then lost my job in 2007 financial crisis. Moved to as world and It took another 4 years (so 6 into career) before I hit it again. Hit $200k by 11 into career. Hit $250k by 14 into career. Suspect I’ll hit $300 by 17-18 years , but I don’t imagine I’ll have any more big jumps unless I go work somewhere terrible as a short term hired gun. Once I hit $200k my motivations were less about personal gain and more about building and keeping an awesome team around me so that my quality of work life is good. As a social buyer making $100k that’s good. The two things you should be pushing for to take you to the next level are managing direct reports to make them successful and getting yourself in the room for the major client relationship discussions (initial pitch, setting budgets for next fiscal year, pre-emptier pitch to head off them putting it out to bid). Once you hit mid-level your “hard skills” that made you a good individual contributor matter less and the soft skills of being able to manage junior employees, manage client expectations, and set budgets that you can hit are what will get you from manager to director to VP to MD etc.

That’s a lot of money, upper class for sure.

In NYC? Yeah it affords double the median income.
Totally agree with the advice to get a side hustle, consult, etc. and if that ends up not scratching the itch, look elsewhere. What market are you in?
Yeah I agree with this. Try another 6-12 months exploring side hustles to see if you’re able to double dip and continue challenging yourself. All while stacking as much money as possible. If you keep finding yourself at this crossroad, it’s probably time to move on.
Hey OP! With how far you’ve come, I have no doubt you’ll end up where you want to be!
Any advice for someone two years into their career?
80/20 principle. Focus on the 20% of your work that gets you 80% of the results
You’re collecting dust. At 27, that’s a death sentence. Look alive, friend!
I totally get you, I thought I was crazy for getting paid well and doing next to no work yet still feeling unhappy. Different strokes for different folks but I know I need challenge and purpose in my job to feel good.
I’m skill-building with my free-time and plotting my escape from advertising.
