Enjoy your job as much as possible. Socialize a lot to build your network. Most importantly, don't skip out on sleep! Working as a CM eventually turns into a routine, which means a higher chance of burnout. Sleep is important, do not ever compromise that for any type of work. Ever.

Hi Fishes,
I have completed with my 2nd round of interview in Bain (BCN group,), healthcare Associate position. Wanted to ask about WLB, average annual hike %, career advancement opportunities (higher education funding), trips and off sites. Any insights would be great

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?
