Would you take a pay cut from $205K base to $180K base to go fully remote + can live wherever (from 2 days in office in NYC).

Didn’t get promoted and thinking of leaving Deloitte for the next level at Guidehouse. It’s a title bump so I would get a raise, but I’m trying to weigh the opportunity cost of going to a “lower tier” firm known for more niche services. Has anyone else been in this situation and what did you choose? Would this limit my exit opps?

Question for the ladies out there. As a male, when I run into female coworkers outside of work do you prefer an awkwardly formal handshake, an awkward side hug (though I wouldn’t side hug you in the office) or to awkwardly do nothing and start talking with no physical gesture?

My net worth is 343k as a 26 year old. Why do i still feel behind? Current salary is 140k. Friends in tech have been making 190k-350k from college up until now.

I was just terminated from the deals group. I’ve let myself go in terms of my health and weight. I figured I’d use a good chunk of the severance time to get in shape over the summer and focus on my health but my friends and family are pushing me to find a way to juggle both and call me crazy for taking my time. My plan is to build a morning routine of fitness and work that into my new schedule when I’m rehired. Any thoughts ?
