So very very true.
As it is said: the more things change, the more they stay the same.

When people start regaling onlookers with tales of your early chronicles, and you can’t even remember the tour of duty… that’s a pretty good indicator that your career is pretty much over. Time to find meaning elsewhere and let more capable folks take the helm.

For those in professional services consulting, there are hundreds of meetings a year. Expecting someone to remember details from a meeting that long ago is not realistic.

“Underpaying for the role” Especially in hourly, 1099, positions.
Since I started responding to recruiters with what I’m making now, adjusted for a 1099 (at the very least triple what your hourly take home is), the number of recruiters spamming me has declined quite a bit.
“Not understanding the needs for the role”
“And just where on my resume did you see any indication I have X years of experience in areas related to role Y?” is often followed by “Ummm. Well…”
