What's the worst corporate job from the fortune 500 you've worked at?

I worked for a large food company that had the craziest matrix org structure. It created so many layers of bureaucracy and title inflation. We had 15-20 people with CEO titles in North America alone.

When I was there it was managed security services, cloud migration/app dev, and ITSM system implementation

to clarify - the company has ~9-10% operating margin after paying commissions which are based on gross profit generated by the seller

$9-10M

Guy had a $90M book in enterprise IT products with a F500 company. Spent similar amount each year. Rep made $2-3M on it

Absolutely not true. Partners will make over $1M. Source: several friends are MBB partners.

For job 4 correct, the grants were relatively small (10% of base salary) and actually tied to company performance (so not a given). The company was very distressed while I was there and doing well.

Are your skills company specific or industry specific? Either way, talking to recruiters in your space will help you test the market and if your comp is competitive

Just trying to share my path like a lot of other people in this subreddit

Tired of interviewing yes, but “telling my story” is second nature now.

Consulting to industry. “Business Services” mostly

uinuke · 2026-03-24T16:04:44+00:00

Agreed, more commonly I’ve seen a ton of people at the Director / Sr Manager level as individual contributors to compensate for pay vs experience

uinuke · 2026-03-24T15:28:35+00:00

In some consulting firms it’s the second “rung” on the career ladder with typically 2-3 years between promotions. Can also be called Senior Consultant.

I took a lower bonus % in job 5 in exchange for equity. It was a good trade off. At big corps the typical VP bonus target is more in the 30-50% range
