I’m currently a PM with an MIS degree here in Toronto and PMP (along with other certs), and my background has become very generalized as I’ve worked on different areas of IT such as ERPs (Yardi, Workday), data automation, business analysis, IT service delivery, governance. I had originally targeted a role as a BA and try to get into consulting. Right now I’m not sure where I would fall. I have been told I could fit as a Cloud Delivery lead by another director at ACN. Any suggestions?

Advice regarding following up multiple times with lead partner about a position in his practice group? I have been in contact with the firms recruiting director as well as 4 of the firms partners.

Am I overthinking it now that a few weeks have passed or
should I contact recruiting or another partner to help facilitate things?

Is 55 - 60k a livable salary to live in NYC. This is for a junior art director position with their location in So ho. I know that salary wouldn’t work in Manhattan, unless I’m wrong, so I’m guessing I would have to live in a different borough? I come from a lower middles class family, parents work janitorial and factory, so no support from them.

Hello! I'm currently a product designer at a startup and we're currently hiring for a Lead Product Designer. I've been helping my director write up an interview format and was wondering if there was anything different about lead designer interviews? When I was going through the interview process at my company I had the following steps: phone screen, hiring manager screen, onsite (portfolio review, design collab, stakeholder collab, eng collab). Any additional info will be much appreciated!

How does Associate Partner role at Gartner Consulting compare to similar roles at other consulting organizations (like IBM, Deloitte, EY or Accenture) ? Trying to evaluate offers and finalize from Publicis (Strategy consulting), EY (Senior Director, Digital Transformation) and Associate Partner (Gartner Consulting)

Got a call today from Accenture about an SAP Associate Director position. Casual conversation, but numbers were thrown out 220-240 plus bonus.

Accepted a job offer at 7% hike in London. was told by the hiring director they happy to give a joining bonus. The HR changed hands; a guy from HR introduced himself as the head of talent & said joining bonus was not mentioned by business & the offer is without the bonus. I fell for it and thought the head of talent is calling because they really have no budget. I later found HR guy who introduced himself as head of talent is just a contractor/new to PWC. As I've accepted, should I let this go?
