You’ll here mostly snark here on FB. In truth, it hasn’t been in play long enough to make an impact. Example: no staffing distinctions that I can discern yet. I’m still being put into play for the same stuff, no growth is evident.

For me, I’m pumped about my milestone sabbatical and I’m enjoying my pay raise.

In my practice it has felt that the SMs have been given more operational responsibility (i.e., the delivery part of the Director-role) and more responsibilities have been put on the Director-role; even more pressure from a business development perspective (with less support from Partners), while also having to own / drive the crapton of stupid internal initiatives like product development. Directors basically now have almost all the responsibilities of a Partner, but none of the benefits. I don’t know a single Director who is happy right now.

Time will tell, but lots of S& folks who were sold on the idea of top performers making it in 8-10 years fro UG are skeptical.

I still don’t understand that statement, because it used to be 3 years at M, 3 years at D. Now it’s 2 years at M, 2 years at SM and then 3 years at D, unless you can skip SM2 or D1?

Hi Folks, I'm currently in search of a mentor. I'm a 28y/o MSc grad and starting a Junior Funding Consultant role (writing grant applications for startups) as I'm tired of holding out for an entry level role in ESG/Sustainability - I keep getting rejections despite completing a very wide ranging internship at a renewable energy company. Last year I received an offer at Deloitte Belgium but due to Brexit & VISA delays, we couldn't continue. Now I'm unsure of my career progression & need guidance.

I have recently given interview at Microsoft.
HR provided the feedback as I am not rejected bit not fit for the role so they have put me in talent plus pool. What should I expect next and does this mean that I may get the offer ?

What has your experience been with new job offers and counter offers from current employers?

I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
