started as a technical consultant at a software company recently and it’s being treated much more as a sales role than a consulting role + the managements expectations are archaic. consistent unpaid overtime, they don’t like wfh even though they offer it as part of the deal, the amount of work you do isn’t recognised at all just the hours you’re in. NGL bit of a toxic environment, high turnover, barely existing incentives to work hard. Have any of you been through something similar? Any advice?

Similar situation at a small consulting firm, my role was supposed to be technical consultant yet I'm always doing sales work. I've found that management expects you to suck it up and "wear many hats" to get the job done, so my solution was to set boundaries and be exempted from all the unnecessary admin meetings.

No way around having to cover multiple responsibilities outside of my job description, but it's much more bearable when I don't have to worry about being bogged down with useless meetings.

The question is, is graduation from law school, not minimum competency? With this line of reasoning we are saying that law schools do not produce competent future lawyers, so should we instead switch to a system of taking the bar without the three years of a measure that frankly bar associations have deemed not an adequate measure? Dash this comment aside if it is fallible, but there is something here that has been overlooked. Competence is not regurgitation and memorization.
