Happiness. It's the root of everything. What's money prestige and balance good for if you aren't happy.

Purpose, passion, enthusiasm, loyalty, ethics, friendship

I need both pay and passion. If I hate my work you can't pay me enough to do it.

Learning new things. It’s really about having (intellectual) fun and growing. Is that hokey?

It’s a formula not a race with winners and ranks
As mentioned above someone take less pay for a better worklife balance for more meaningful work and those who are doing mundane repetitive work will take more money to compensate for that mediocrity. Some folks like McKenzie mentioned are there to get maximum dollars at any cost for a short time and then leverage that into a better situation Prestige/fame no thanks most of the trade that for influence and power
And not the dominating type power instead the power to be able to make decisions, have the resources and Pull to make it actually happened. I think the real dilemma is when all of these things are just pretty good having courage to put that at risk to try to raise the whole bar formula up a notch Across-the-board

Getting properly rewarded for performance.

Pay! 💰

Doing "interesting work"

Probably wlb and pay, but with a bare minimum floor for prestige. I know people who make more running a business but being able to say I work for the firm I do, doing the things I do... I probably wouldn't give that up to be a rich plumber or head hunter, etc

The life and drive of mountain climber Alex Honnold is a fascinating study on the deep motivations fueling him. It sheds light on my own motivations for career, mental toughness, taking on challenges, preparedness, game face, managing fear, etc.

Hi, what kind of salary should I expect from London consultancies with 1 year experience as an Analyst at Accenture?

I’m working in analytics with some currently in Python and R, and some AWS exposure with the cloud fundamentals cert (which doesn’t mean much I know 😂) and would be looking for a similar data-focussed role.

If anyone knows of any open roles and would be happy to do a referral etc then please also let me know.

Thanks 😊

Sometimes the leadership does not even inform you on the status of a submitted proposal unless we win the work. I get why they are doing it but it would be great if there was an external source/website that would share this info instead of us waiting around to hear from them.
