Will be starting a strategy consulting role @ T2 in a few months. I have 2.5 YOE doing tech implementation at a smaller firm. Any recommendations on books/podcasts (really anything) to help me prep?

This won’t be popular, but thank you Diet Madison Ave. You’re the reason why a monster was taken down today. We all know Droga only did it because they had to, and the main reason they had to was you.

Has anyone actually looked at the math, calculated, and compared a freelance day rate of about 1-1.2k, booked for whatever % of the year, versus a full time staff salary of say, 200k… at what numbers do they even out when you factor in taxes, health insurance, paid vaca time etc? Hard to say which is more lucrative with the variables, but, any insights?

I recently graduated college last year and am trying to pursue certifications to help build up my resume. I currently hold an AWS SAA certification and Azure AZ -900.

What is a typical salary for an account manager?

Was offered a senior accounting position in NYC for 100k and a 20% discretionary bonus. My EY raise in October will put me at 91k. I feel like 100k base is low given all the benefits at EY (ex: phone bill, internet bill, fitness fund) but the recruiters are saying 100k for someone with 3 years experience is unheard of. Any thoughts?

Ogilvy leadership talk alot about transparency. I would love them to put their words into action.

Sad state of affairs. Happy to stand corrected.

Going to be bored over holiday season and was thinking about starting up the Python Institute Certifications (probably the whole roadmap). I would say I’m at an intermediate level currently.

We interviewed a great candidate, extended a verbal offer and she accepted. We sent the written offer a few days ago but she hasn’t opened it or accepted (it’s expiring tomorrow). Have you ever had to follow up? How did you handle it? My company is small with no HR, so I have to handle the hiring myself.
