Not all doctors get paid $250k. Pediatrician/Family Med/Physiatrist for example only average 175k (not starting, which is far less, and residency they make about 50-70k). Some managers and definitely directors makes more than that.

Well... Technically a resident is a doctor. But I see what you're saying. And I disagree, the rate at which a Resident Physician converts to a fully practicing physician is MUCH greater than a junior consultant making partner

Paid more by our clients? Because some of us actually save our clients millions. Paid more by our firms? We aren't.

My 2.5 person team saved our last client (top 50 bank) over $13 million in one-time or annual cost reductions. But I realize we're the exception not the rule.

@D 1 more like a C or SC based on what I've understood from work/roles. It's unfortunate imho.

Residents are doctor in wheels.

^^ that's the same as "consultants are PPDs in wheels"

^^ doesn't that further the point that it's tougher for them to get to the top tier & the wage gap between us & them is absurd.

I wasn't disagreeing with your point on consultants overall wages being greater.

I've been working at a company for just over a year now and have discovered my pay is way below what I should be on - I'm a senior and my male equivalent is on double what I'm on.
Recently having a pay review my boss tells me it was a mistake that I've got senior on my job contract and it should've been mid consultant, however my boss now considers me a senior and I can get a pay rise at the end of the year. What would you do? Do I wait till the end of the year for a pay review?

I recently started my first post-college job as a software developer and have to make a decision pretty soon: front-end development or back-end development. I really like being closer to the user and the creativity as far as front-end. But I also reallly really enjoy math and logic and the more complex side to back-end. My dream would be to do full stack but thats not an option. Scared of getting pigeon holed. Any suggestions as to what to do / tips?
