Applied to a couple product manager positions with companies I was very excited about. Received rejection emails from 2 within a couple days of applying. Any advice? Would you re-apply via a different channel? Try to connect with people who work there on LinkedIn? Just feels like the door got slammed in my face without anyone peeking through the peephole.

Lat. firm requested 2 partner reference at current firm. Provided 3, but they were not the principal partner I worked with, who is unhappy to lose team (me and another assoc), since I’m afraid of retaliation (and said partner is also mired in HR issues currently). However, the partner was mentioned during the interview as someone I worked with, so I feel scared now that my lateral firm partners are wondering why I didn’t include. I’m tempted to send a follow up and include them, but unsure...

Hello everyone, I was laid off a few months ago working as a Business Analyst for a well known EHR company. I have been having a pretty rough time getting interviews. For those who wouldn’t mind, may I get some feedback on my resume?

Does anyone have any info about the program for very long-tenured IFS staff, where the firm will pay for your health insurance after you retire if you meet certain tenure requirements? Something like, if you’ve been with the firm for over 30 years by the time you retire. The firm may have discontinued this but some people are grandfathered in. Anyone have details?

I’d love to hear from people who went from implementations at a partner to consulting on their own. How has it been, anything you wish you had known prior, and any regrets? Bonus points if you do reporting. Thanks!

Anybody here at Guidehouse? What's the culture like?

Just finished an initial phone screen with a recruiter at KPMG...my candidature was very well recd.. one hour later I got an email saying they will have to pass because they don’t do H1 transfers with less than 3.5 years on visa. Is this for real? On my second extension and having 3.5 years is highly improbable. I do have my current visa till sep 2020

My sister and I are 29 and 31, respectively. I’m struggling with something that has irked me our entire lives. My parents pay for things like her dog’s medical bills, vacations and moving expenses. They always want to help. The problem is they’ve never offered to pay for those things for me, and I’ve never asked because I’m a fully grown adult and don’t want them to spend their retirement on us. She has savings and isn’t struggling financially. Why does this bother me so much?

Any tips for working with recruiters for the first time? All the ones I’ve spoken too keep trying to push me to continue in PA. I can’t tell if there just aren’t a lot of industry opportunities available, if they’re just desperate to fill the role and ignore your actual wants, or if it’s actually the best option to go to a smaller firm for a bit of a break.
