This new social media trend of tech employees quitting their jobs to pursue influencing comes off a bit harmful to me. These people spent years working with a high salary, probably getting so far ahead in retirement and investing and are giving this advice to the public that likely does not have the same foundation. Anyone else think this trend is a bit out of touch with reality?

It is, by definition out of touch with reality. It's just that they don't seem to personally be aware of that when they only surround themselves with people who are either in their same economic stratum or are influencers

Oh yes, definitely take anything you see on social media with a pinch of salt. The trick is to basically question anything you could be being sold.

Hello fellow Protiviti members. I have currently been in talks with the company about moving on to my next career opportunity at the Boston or Atlanta offices and want to get an idea of what life is like working for the company. I currently work for PwC, I'm sure some of you come from big4 and understand the low salary, long hours, and office politics that PwC and other big 4s bring. Do you enjoy working at Protiviti more than PwC? How is work/life and travel requirements? Reinvest stuf requird?

I started a new job recently and then had my PTSD seriously triggered, plus a panic attack. Felt so on edge and low on emotional resources for over a week that I wasn’t myself and apparently really rubbed a few people the wrong way so I was called in for a talking to 😣. I let people know there were some personal things going on, but didn’t mention the PTSD—very unsure if that’s something to share, or if I’d be judged for it or... I don’t even know. Has anyone else dealt with PTSD and had it impact them at work, and how did you handle it?
