This quote: “Some people genuinely love consulting. I think they're freaks.” Lol 😂

That's a good question. I got into it because I got into it, that's the best explanation, really. And I struggle with the idea that it's not a good use of whatever talents I have. And it's not a moral way to spend my life. So at some point I'd like to move on to something that at least has a chance of being personally fulfilling.

I’m in it for the long haul, or at least until I find something that doesn’t involve endless hours and ‘passion’ as a euphemism for overwork. haha

I get what you are saying OP because I often feel the same way. I think that I will stay in this career for the long haul but you never know. It very well could end up being a stepping stone for something bigger and better. Who knows what the future holds.

Does anyone stress about student loans? I have $176k in loans and as January gets closer, the panic attacks have gotten worser. I am in-house at a Real Estate company (making $90k), which is terrible bc they are going under due to the market. I am working to transition to big law for pay, job security and more technical skills. I am a 2019 grad and it just seems so hard to break into big law.

I just need advice on what to do. My mind is scattered and stressed! Thank you in advance!

Looking for some advice. Second year associate at firm of 25ish attorneys in the Midwest. Looking to make a move and have an attractive offer from a small firm of 6 attorneys.

I’m smart, get things done, self motivated. however I’ve hit career ceilings because I’m incapable of schmoozing, playing office politics, aligning myself with people who can boost my career. It’s just not in me. But I haven’t come to terms with it. Every time I go on LinkedIn, I see some idiot I used to work with has been promoted or jumped ship to some very senior role and it kills me inside because I know that I’m far more capable and yet will never make the same money.

Anyone here who made an industry pivot via b school? Curious how you told the story in your applications. My mba “coach” is a bit concerned because I want to pivot into an industry that I don’t have any experience in, and that industry primarily does JIT recruiting.

Hi fishes,

This annual appraisal I have got a good % of appraisal increment on my salary but I was not promoted to a senior developer (although I have been mentoring a junior dev in my team and been part of building the project by implementing new technologies and tweaks) and my total YoE is 3.5+ years. What could be the reasons? What should I do now?

Thanks in advance!!
