I think both. Everything is a lot more stressful now than normal and also this industry never gives us a break

I’m sorry you’re feeling this way. The way I’ve been trying to look at my feelings like this is to remind myself that it’s possible that my stress could be about... I dunno the whole world being on fire. Try to take things a day at a time and let yourself feel how you want. But try not to make decisions until you’ve sussed out what is fueling your stress.

Looking for some specific info on Short Term Disability eligibility at EY. I would like to accept an offer, but won’t be eligible for 16-wk parental leave before 1 yr of tenure. This is an important detail for me since I am expecting this year. I have received in email that for parents who have a child *before* 1 year, that they are eligible for STD after 3 mnths at 100% for 6 weeks (+3weeks of approved PTO). is there fine print that pregnancy is a ‘pre-existing condition’ and I’d be denied?

Interested to know average salaries
of an Assistant Manager in

I was promoted from Supervisor to
Assistant Manager within the last

second promotion in just under a

salary I feel undervalued and
demotivated (I'm on just over £30k

of 12), particularly as my efforts to
negotiate my salary were shot down.
Any advice would be welcomed.

FAANG Exit to MBB?
3.5 YOE, Non-technical, 150k TC

Been at Alphabet my entire career post-undergrad. Managed to move from
Google to a well-respected Bet where I’m very happy. Undergrad was a pretty general liberal arts degree and haven’t pursued grad school yet.

What would it look like (from a TC + long term career standpoint) to switch over to MBB for a year or two then go back to FAANG?

Thankfully, my boss helps me out & emails the people I need when I tell her no one responds but they’ll answer her in 2 mins or less when she sends it.
