Currently at a big 4 with 5 years of experience. No early promotion due to 2 transfers to different groups. Another big4 reached out about manager role and I’ve had 2 interviews. Spoke to an old coworker and they said this wasn’t common to get a promotion through big4 by moving. True? Worth to continue interviewing ?

I feel like 1/4 of my job is chasing seniors/partners to respond to my emails. They tell me to have drafts ready by A to prepare to send to the client by B. I’ll check in occasionally after sending drafts to them in time for A but by day D I’m still chasing with radio silence. Any advice? I don’t want the client to think I’m ignoring them when I’m the one being ignored!

In the military, recruits are trained to dehumanize the ‘enemy’ in order to allow them to do, err, ‘military things’. In the corporate world, we dehumanize our employees by referring to them as ‘resources’ (Read: things). And we have Managers of these things ‘RMs’ (Note: things are managed, people are led). Not long ago, Human Resources was called “Personnel”. (Better) The best consultancies call their people Practitioners and RMs ‘Staffing Managers’ (they manage the staffing process). Discuss

At a crossroads for what to do … <3 YOE and have enough saved up for a down payment on a condo (live w parents now), but am also thinking of getting an MBA . Would love to do an MBA abroad and work internationally for a few years, but financially it would definitely be better to have a mortgage vs. lose 2 years of income .. plus it seems like MBA’s aren’t as valuable as before any thoughts ?

Coming in to MBB as a lateral hire (experienced post MBA consultant). 8 YOE in tier 2/3 consulting jobs. Always a top performer, but I’m assuming that will change at MBB......what are tips to get comfortable being an average performer and being okay with it?

I’m due in Jan so still pretty early, when is the right time to tell your project M/SM? I’m afraid this will ruin my chances of them recruiting me for the next project. Everyone keeps saying Deloitte is extremely supportive of future moms and current but I can’t help but think I’ll get pushed out.

I was just offered to get a promoted offer (from AS to VP,AD) at a different company, but I have been wanting to transition off to non-advertising gigs especially pharma. Does it make sense to sign the new offer first and keep searching, or get out when I can out of advertising? I took the interview a while ago thinking I still wanted to be in advertising but had gradual shift in heart..

Just got promoted. At the same time, got an industry offer from my target sector, director of the internal strategy team. Both TC and base of the offer is 10% lower than my current numbers, and the gap will become 50k-60k reduction in base alone after my promotion. Am i crazy to still consider this offer?

I was pulled into a meeting to essentially give my opinion on my supervisor’s performance. It sounds like they’re about to get fired. Do I give them a heads up? If it were me, I would want to know, but if it gets out I said something I don’t want it to burn any bridges with upper leadership...
