I would say the hardest part so far is just adjusting to the pace of work. Government was very “chill” in a sense and now coming to consulting, my first project is very high pressure with a lot of asks from the client. Also in government I felt like I had more responsibility but in consulting I’m just an Excel monkey

When I got the 180k offer I was 3 years in industry (14 months out of grad role, 18 months grad role) I had been offered and working a graduate role before finishing my undergrad, primarily due to some niche experience and running some projects.

I’ve improved on the 180k now as an associate director, just not quite the same percentage hike.
