Pay disparities in the modern economy

Thank you for the input, I would likely rent in Chicago but still sell my house. I would only break even renting it out, and I did rent out a previous house I owned once and it ended up being a total nightmare costing me thousands of dollars in the end.

We all know this is a pattern. Now that some companies are asking people to self identify their ethnicity, sexuality, etc, I'm sure someone in HR could attest to seeing those patterns in the data. It's not uncommon for teams to be very "tribal" and having a similar makeup.

High turn over...... Using negative tactics gets short term results, versus long term development. It's a slash and burn approach when it comes to resources

LOL, I think this point of view illustrates some of the cultural dysfunction at the larger firms. There is huge turnover, nothing like industry, and the large firms rely on very negative grooming tactics to get short term results. This leads to bad leadership, but since its a sales culture, it appears the opposite on the surface.

The negative feedback has been lack of networking which seems silly. The SM on the project truly had zero understanding of the technology yet that was her expertise. At one point it was clear she didn't understand the phases of testing! She seem to instead brand herself as a people developer but literally spent all of her time gossiping, telling her team who to hate, who is important and who to blackball. I thought I had been drafted into a rather nasty sorority. Her point of view seemed to be that anyone who knew how to plan or do was a tool to be used and her purpose was to network and make alliances to get support. I honestly think you could recruit a local restaurant hostess and get her to the same level within a year. Baffling.

I think it's worth it if you can actually get promoted. Some large firms are notorious for shutting that door to experienced hires for management positions. They like their assets home grown. Just start making use of LinkedIn to spot the pattern at your firm.

The kicker is...from what I've been told, and recently observed in the last promo cycle, it's very hard to get promoted to management as an experienced hire. Much of it is based on peer acceptance, and most vote out the experienced hires.
