Would you choose to stay as a senior manger in consulting with your firm or get a director role in industry if you had the choice and all of else was equal?

Why?

If all else including pay and wlb were equal, I would stay where I was. No use leaving without a wage increase resulting from either more pay or less work.

Who cares about title? Janitor over CEO if it pays better.

I’m four months into my job and I got put onto a PIP. I worked so hard to break into IB, put up all the hours and even working 2am nights for weeks, learned a ton, and improved a lot along the way as the sole analyst yet this happens. I’m extra worried because it doesn’t seem there’s IB analyst positions out there. Im really hoping come January more positions come up but I’m just praying they don’t fire me until then. Anyone have general tips for this situation?

sigh* last week Saturday my s/o & I broke up after our 3 year relationship. & it really been affecting me negatively — not eating, autopilot mode, self isolation & diving deep into work.

Idk, maybe I’m just better off single after so many failed relationships/am I being dramatic? but anyone else has given up on love?
