I was looking to do HR consulting including talent type work, less benefits admin, actuary, etc.

I was in WTW, lower pay, and the work wasn’t as strategic, focused heavily on employee engagement solutions and rewards

I'm going to speak this into existence. I am a staff 2 (like the 2 matters). I want to make it to manager because I heard it comes with more flexibility. But then I don't ever want to move up after that at B4. Is that okay, or will I be shamed for not having ambition? Or will I even get coached out so someone else get promoted?
