Negative. The stress level of consulting is so far beyond what I had expected or planned for. I hit all of my numbers by multiples and the nature of what we do, the expectation to compete and deliver is very hard on me. We all have different triggers and I suspect that the competition lights something up in me that on the one hand produces extraordinary results. On the other hand, the cost is evident. The kicker is - it doesn’t need to be that way

I’d guess around 30-40%? 🤷🏾‍♂️

I suppose not all mental health issues are created equally, so different people with different problems will likely handle it differently. You have to find what works for you. Get help from a therapist as a starting point. It’s nothing to be ashamed of

It was just a thought after reading one of the threads

Lots and a bunch. Left industry to join consulting and I’ve never been the same

P2 - agreed. A coworker admitted to drinking way more than usual after his recent promotion and the stresses that came with it

Kpmg1 - in a good way or bad way?

All of us?

Depends how you define mental health issues..

HELP my friends! I’ve been invited to a recruiter screen for the initial interview with HR for Global Safety Associate. This job mainly deals with Adverse event/high prescribing meds product complaints. In my current role I deal with on boarding pt & getting patients work done from A-Z till they get on their meds. The only part which is similar is that I’m the main point of contacts for pt so I can report their complaint to Health Canada. How can I convince them I can handle this new job

Also is she being underpaid or is that the current market rate at the moment. Thanks in advance
