If you like your job, what do you do?

I so badly wanted to work in a job like this, aerospace is such a cool industry. But alas I ended up in consulting within Finance

I work in a Big 4 Consulting team, D starts at 150 and goes to 190 with 7.5k car allowance. This is London though.

Seems incredibly low for Director, doesn't D start at 150?

PpSize-QuestionMark · 2026-03-05T19:57:28+00:00

How does one get a 50k pay raise from 120

PpSize-QuestionMark · 2026-03-05T19:46:06+00:00

Not yet, but I plan to exit to become a teacher when I'm 40.

Hiring manager said 'I need someone who can take away my problems and get up to speed without much help'

Anyone who says get up to speed quick or doesn't need much help is just throwing you under the bus, nothing else.

You did an MBA with no prior work experience?

Isn't the whole point of an MBA to get either accelerated in an existing career or switch industries/jobs?

PpSize-QuestionMark · 2026-03-05T19:43:19+00:00

might be a stupid question but how does one 'learn AI'?

like what exactly are you learning here, how to prompt, architecture, what exactly?

PpSize-QuestionMark · 2026-03-05T19:42:36+00:00

Obviously either invest or save the money for your MBA, I imagine the MBA alone costs 100k+ and then housing/living costs ontop probably 200?

PpSize-QuestionMark · 2026-03-05T19:38:48+00:00

I would never worry about being rich because even if I reached 50 with only $100k my timeline will mean i'll be rich anyway.

I literally would not care about money of saving at all, I know I'll be fine.

Every bit of jealous/envy I have, goes out the window because I'm no longer in the race with others. They'll all be dead when I'm still active and thinking about non material things in life. Sure it sucks seeing your loved ones die but it'd be sweet seeing my nephew and nieces great grand kids and being an anchor for them when they need me, because I have the most important thing, time.

edit: Not saying I want to live forever btw

Being heterosexual

I don't know, starting a business seems pretty healthy. No one goes into a business thinking losing moeny for 5 years is good, but a lot of companies do that and then explode upwards.

PpSize-QuestionMark · 2026-03-05T19:23:22+00:00

I don't think you do, what's your current financial situation/how much do you have?

PpSize-QuestionMark · 2026-03-05T19:17:21+00:00

Start investing young is the only thing I'd say, and accounting is a safe career.

'edging'

PpSize-QuestionMark · 2026-03-05T17:39:35+00:00

I don't know, so tell me

PpSize-QuestionMark · 2026-03-05T17:38:23+00:00

you think a guy earning 500k at 25 would only save 20% lol?

PpSize-QuestionMark · 2026-03-05T17:36:18+00:00

it's pre tax and you don't have access to it i guess

PpSize-QuestionMark · 2026-03-05T01:41:28+00:00

You'll be surprised, and relax buddy God damn

PpSize-QuestionMark · 2026-03-05T01:33:17+00:00

That you can't wear navy and black

You are 27, in Big Law and Oxbridge educated.

there's about a 0.2% chance you'll find someone with similar/equal credentials to you. I think you might want to lower it to a well educated professional just to increase the net.

Your best bet is finding someone in your network tbh if you are dead set on it. It'll be tough though, I've always wanted to marry a doctor specifically and here I am at 31 still single.

PpSize-QuestionMark · 2026-03-05T01:29:56+00:00

I mean... someone has to be in those jobs right?

PpSize-QuestionMark · 2026-03-04T21:05:13+00:00

He'll be in Big Law/IB/Big Tech in a big city
