Hi,
Quick question: Do you think is it fine to be asked for preparing an outline for marketing plan as an assessment test so, employer decide if you will be the right fit for position ?

So I finished my 3rd interview with a company and the TA specialist said they loved me but can’t meet me at my bottom line salary, however, I said I can negotiate and she said she’s going to speak with the decision makers and see if they’re okay with that. What does this mean? This is for a marketing specialist role. I’m asking for $70K bottom line

People who have left consulting for startups, what are your hours like?

Creative Director: “Craft and storytelling will always be fundamental in this industry.”

Same Creative Director: “So they flip the Yoplait Yogurt cup on Tiktok as a...challenge? Sure, why not if the kids are doing it. But what’s the hashtag?”

Have an idea for an app but I don’t know the intricacies and nuances of app development. Hoping this consulting community would be the best help! Things like NDAs for app developer, how to get a developer, estimated cost, other costs that someone outside of tech wouldn’t expect, etc.. TIA!

Watching Home Alone I see that I was taught a while ago not to fly AA..

Best consulting companies in the social sector?

New to IT B2B marketing. Any advice on how to educate myself with IT? Any classes, books, etc. that you recommend?

Someone reached out to me on LinkedIn about becoming an author on the side. Has anyone heard about such a thing?!? The person said she’s worked with 800 consultants writing their books and marketing it for them.

What kind of swag did you get upon joining your company? Most of my friends are in finance and get some awesome stuff but I’m very curious as to what to expect from consulting

It feels like my pay and title are lower than my scope of duties. I manage Youtube channels and do all strategy, planning, talent management, rework content for socials, reporting, graphic design, + a bunch of other stuff. Do you think I should be something like Video Content Manager? A Strategist maybe? My company doesn't have career pathing & I think they'd be happy to keep giving me more work with the same pay. TIA!!

What do you think it takes for a PPD to get a utilization bearing WBS for proposal work? I know it is rare...

Currently a MC at Accenture UK. 4 YoE including BA work, data analysis, change management, process improvement, tech implementations. Looking for a new role. Either Sr Consultant or exit into industry. Please do DM if you know of anything that may be of interest :)

Why provide redlines against the original draft instead of the last turn when sending drafts to opposite counsel?! This profession makes no sense.

First 70 billable hour week and am dying. How do some of you do this on a regular basis?

Hi! I’m doing some research on employee benefits (medical insurance, 401k, HSA/FSA, commuter benefits) and was hoping to connect with People specialists or HR professionals in the comp & benefits space. I’m trying to better understand any pain points or challenges you might face with utilization/enrollment. Anyone interested in connecting? Thank you!

Welp! Finally got the axe today too. I didn’t even get to talk to my manager. One of the execs I support told me he’s very sorry and I was great, etc etc, but it couldn’t be avoided. Whatever. I kind of never want to work again. I’m heartbroken.

Starting a new fully remote role Monday with a leader that has never had their own admin, let alone an exec assistant. Any suggestions for developing the relationship or training them to properly use an exec assistant?

Best way to approach networking with MBB if I am planning to apply for roles in Jan 2024 (1 year from now). Do people start with their school alum and get referred to partners?

Is it a good option to join if I get an offer from it?

Unfortunately was dragged into an audit despite the fact I don’t work in audit. Why does audit RM say yeah your hours will be 50 hours/week when you’ll have to work way more to do the audit. Seems very dumb - if you have work do it, if not don’t work…
