What does consulting mean? Why do people that go into consulting are making 100k right out of college? Don't you have to have years of experience to be considered a consultant (still not sure what that means or if that is just a broad term?)

When you make 100k right out of college in consulting in terms of hours it's more like having two full time jobs that each pay 50k in terms of the hours you work. But then you lie - basically required and just put 40hrs on your time sheet.

In terms of experience - your opinion doesn't count for anything and you are basically a secretary that must turn out absolutely perfect work for the industry experts (your bosses).

It's an accelerated path to understanding and learning a ton about the businesses you serve. After 3 years in it you'll know enough to be useful. Until then you area grunt slaves that works all hours and weekends when required.

Covid isn’t going anywhere and I refuse to lock myself in my apartment anymore b/c of it.

But, I have friends that refuse to do literally anything because of covid and at this point they’re missing great memories we could make in our 20s b/c this virus is here to stay.

3 folks that I have hired and trained are being offered a Director position above me. I am so proud of them, but I need advice… When I asked why I was not considered, the only reasons that came up were the following: *1. Less college education 2. My age. I am young. 3. Less experience with Landlords.* I have been with this company for quite a while and my goals have been clear. When I asked what I needed to do over the past 2 years to achieve Director, these 3 issues were not mentioned.

I’m in talks with management about being a candidate for a new position, Project Manager. This would be a promotion for me; however, a member of my team indicated the company may not want to increase compensation for this role even though I would have more responsibilities. It was even stated that “They may even want to fire people who asked for more money.” I am staggered. Do you advice for me? Should I look elsewhere? Any referrals? Any insight/assistance appreciated.
