Supposed to join mbb post mba. In case my offer gets postponed to jan 2021, what should I do given that traveling the world is not an option.

Thoughts on Prosci or SHRM-SCP certification? Which would be considered more valuable or highly regarded? Currently focused on Change Management but have a HR background (industry experience / area of study in college).

Do you have a Certification, Skills, and Interests section on your resume?

I’m 9 years in. Currently taking the educational requirement for CFP through American College. I feel like I can’t focus because I am not really learning anything. Any tips to keep eyes on prize?

Thoughts on the value of online cybersecurity certificate programs from Stanford, UMUC, Harvard, etc vs just normal certs like CISSP?

Will begin studying for the CFP in a month or so using the Dalton review. Should I fork out the extra $1,000 or so for the guaranteed to pass feature? Any reviews on the Dalton program?

Anybody refinanced student loans with Earnest? How does it compare to Sofi or any of the other better known ones who claim to account for earnings potential (i.e. would benefit me for MBA loans)?

Hey Fish, passed my first CFP Course Exam this morning. Feeling great but can’t share with co-workers, so please share my joy!

Do any of y'all's firms have MBA networks? Considering starting one at my firm, but curious if this is a thing elsewhere. Thinking it could be a valuable resource for advice/networking/programming, etc. for employees considering an MBA program.

Anyone here taken the CFP?

Those who have their CFP: how have you used/marketed it effectively to enhance your business? Just earned mine and curious how others have benefited.

Those who took the AWS CCP exam - do you get questions like “how much does a storage type cost per GB per month” in the exam? Trying to figure out whether this level of detail is required to be memorized for the exam

Congrats to all the future CPA’s that passed the Canadian CFE

I might (MIGHT) soon be in the fortunate position of deciding between a $170k~ TC position at Adobe (Solutions Architect, a pre-sales role) and a T10-T15 MBA. Have interviewed with Haas, Ross, McCombs, Tuck, and Anderson for R2 and am also moving forward in the interview process with Abobe. Does anyone know if people are able to make the transition from an Adobe pre-sales role to Product Management? If so, I would consider skipping the MBA. Thoughts?

Anyone who has a PHR, how long did it take you to study for it? Did you do self study or did you buy one of the classes? Why did you choose PHR over SHRM?

Hi! Anyone taken SHRM-CP exam recently and have any tips on studying or taking the exam? TIA.

Please debate: college football is less fun now that the top 3 spots each year in the CFP are Bama, Clemson & Ohio state with the 4th seemingly open to Georgia, ND, Oklahoma? If you agree, what would mix it up?

*Financial Services forensics/AML/Sanctions/etc Consultants* what certifications (beyond CAMS and CFE) do you have/are you thinking about getting?

For anyone worried about leaving before a busy season, my friend just got laid off from a mid sized. You gotta think about yourself first bc they won't hesitate to let you go,regardless of client load

Arthur must be aware of the critical mismanagement of SR/P.S. Missed targets, declining revenue, continual layoffs. Why then does leadership still have jobs and allowed to protect themselves?

So many people I know (including myself) have put in their 2 weeks notice and are switching companies/firms (across various industries). People seem extra miserable at their jobs right now and idk if it’s mainly due to COVID or employers just overworking and undervaluing their employees more than before. Anyone noticed and/or feel the same way or am I just seeing this because I’ve been in school my whole life and this is my first “real” job?

What strategies do you have in the classroom to combat chronic whining?

Realizing to be comfortable (max 401k/IRA, 12mo expenses in savings acc, and save 2k a month) I’ll need to make 200k+ in NY :(how does anyone afford to live here

I feel like this is a dumb question but is it possible to over contribute to your 401k? Or would payroll stop when you’ve hit the limit?

On my 4th year as Consultant and my Manager says I’m next in line for promotion although she didn’t specify when (if this year or next). Do I wait it out or should I switch companies?

Oscar blunder is the reason partners need to take the blind spots/diversity training 😂

PSA: Publican at ORD is legit.

Do you have a Certification, Skills, and Interests section on your resume?

Looking to leave and searching for strategy roles in industry. Any advice for the job hunt? So far I’ve applied to roles I’ve found on linkedin after connecting with any mutual friends etc. Any other sites you all found helpful?

Anyone move from management / technology consulting to a strategy consulting firm / role? Would you recommend the move? For context I have 1 YOE

Is BCG worth pursuing for Cybersecurity leadership roles? How is the diversity culture? What comp to expect for coming at Dir level or higher?

What to employers really think when you’ve hopped around agencies a bit? For reasons like A. Lost a scope of work, layoffs were coming. B. Just weren’t creating anything.
