Yes, I feel this. Is it possible to have a life when you're a consultant? (I just started working my first "real job" a month ago)

I think some people have personal lives, because I see photos on their desks of family members. Or maybe they just bought frames and those were the pictures that came with them. Yeah, the way things seem lately, that's the more likely explanation.

You're not wrong OP. Its very hard to have any sort of personal life when you are in this career field. I see people posting in here all the time about how they really have no lives outside of their careers. Kind of sad when you think about it

Go full throttle at first, 6-12 months will build you a solid reputations. Then your more experienced colleagues will trust you to get things done well even if you flex the time to live the other things you want to

Or problems / drama so big with clients and within the firm, that it makes your personal problems seem insignificant 🤣

In my organization, most with my role are commission based. I make a set salary due to the firm I work for as an account manager/ coordinator for clients… I coordinate their enrollments, working with each groups HR department as to benefits and payroll purposes, and schedule our benefit counselors accordingly. I am finding that in most cases where I compare the voluntary benefits industry, I might be underpaid. What is an appropriate base salary for a position in which commission is replaced?
