Pick any large company, get a mid level job, and be comfortable doing just enough to stay at that level. I've met plenty of clients who have been doing the same job for 15 years, are working 35 hours a week, and are experts at avoiding work and letting someone more ambitious take over. They are not bad people, but I wouldn't want to be them.

That kind of job is nice for about a day. And then you go insane from being bored.

Best compromise is to be ambitious at a mid size company. Still plenty of growth opportunities and enough to do/fix to keep you happily busy, but without the insane pressure and hours consulting can bring.

I’m the person who tells people it’s okay to open up at work about mental health issues, and that it’s okay to talk about it. I’m also the person who struggles with mental health but will likely not talk about it at work because of the past experiences I’ve had where colleagues brushed it off and told me to let it go/be better. I just don’t want others to not have anyone to talk to… but maybe it’s really me who doesn’t have anyone to talk to…

McKinsey & Company Bain & Company Hiiii! I’ve been at my job for a year and a couple of months now & I’ve gotten rather bored because the work is repetitive, not challenging, and hasn’t really allowed me to learn or grow as much as I would’ve liked to. Given how I’m still paying a ton of money for my postgrad in Business Comms (that I haven’t really gotten the chance to use), I’ve been thinking of entering the world of consulting. Any word of advice? PwC McKinsey & Company Bain & Company Boston Consulting Group KPMG

Hi all,

My boss makes jokes about me being from a different country whenever there is a work meeting or a gathering with coworkers, even though he knows where I am from. This usually occurs when I meet new work-related people or for example if I am in a situation that involves ethnic related subjects.

What is this? This is normal?
