200 K until I get solid financial cushion and then flip to 140 K until I retire

$200k while I am young and can afford to work longer hours physically and mentally. As I age I would consider options to lower my work hours. But those extra $60k per year for 4-5 years would go a long way to increase my future wealth and net worth.

$200k and 60-80hrs a week /s

But seriously - $200k for 45-55hrs but maybe I could learn to chill out and work 30hrs a week

I just made this decision but vs 230. I’m scared but in the 30 hr a week I can work on side hustle / like my life

I make 250 and work 20 max

Does your firm find out why you failed a clearance ? Asking bc I got fired from my first job out of college a couple years ago and didn’t report it on it company background check. I’m afraid if I fail my public trust, my current firm will find out and fire me for not reporting it on my prior employers.

Moving from a boutique (<30 employees, MBB competitor) to the strategy practice of a Big 4. Have only worked for boutiques in the past, so I’m expecting there to be some major differences in terms of working style.

What are the major differences and ‘watch outs’ you would point out to me? Could be anything from culture, to red tape, to compliance etc.

Moved to industry recently. I used to feel super guilty and anxious if I stepped away from my computer even for a bit. I had a micromanager prior to my current job which I think is why I still feel guilty if I’m not always online. Even for stepping away for lunch, I make sure I’m always checking my teams app on my phone in case something pops up. But they don’t, because people value their WLB here. How do I stop feeling so anxious or guilty whenever I take some time for myself?
