I’ve seen:
-Buy a home 3x your salary
-28/36 rule: monthly home expenses cannot exceed 28% gross monthly AND monthly total household debt cannot exceed 36% gross monthly
-50/30/20 rule: 50% on needs, 30% on wants, and 20% savings/paying off debt

Due to obvious conditions my comp for the calendar year (salary+bonus) is back to 2017 levels although my overall sales are more than double and 1/3 less total comp than last year. It seems like comp opportunity is always decreasing during good times (I get it) but when it comes to adjusting during bad times, nothing was done. Is this normal for industry sales?

Thoughts on Eli Lilly/anyone open to sharing their experience and salary there? interviewing for AD level in media strategy - would be working out of nyc if that matters

This job is a lot better if you don't care about the bonus and hours requirement. I can pretty easily bill 1700 hours annually and my firm so far hasn't cared in the slightest. Worrying about hitting 2000 hours for the bonus used stress me out so much, and I just don't think it's worth it. Base salaries are ridiculous and way more than enough to finance my lifestyle.

Can someone please tell the details and when we can expect the new revised letter mentioning the new designation.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
