Personally I described that I liked my work at the big 4, but didn’t want to be a consultant anymore. I wanted to be an actual stakeholder in this work, someone actually invested the change, not the person who makes a recommendation and then leaves for another project with no regards to what actually happened to the company.

I usually just tell them why I’m leaving. For me, I left because I was looking to switch service lines.

I mean why do you want to leave? Just don’t say working too hard and your fine.

Express why you like the company, why you like that specific job, talk about the skills you developed and how your excited to dedicate them to one company to improve it as opposed to partially using your skills depending on your current client base.

My sales lead just gave me my quota for the year. Its increased 120% from last year. I asked if my peers experienced the same increase and the answer is No because I have more experience and up for promo this year. Our bonuses are a % of quota achieved meaning it’s harder for me to get a bonus. Do you think this is fair? What would you do? For additional context, I crushed my quota last year but I feel like I’m being punished now.
