Not liking the fact it gets dark by 4PM

What are some of the best consulting firms for a software engineer? Is MBB still considered elite in this area too?

I'm looking to improve my communication skills to navigate a very political environment better (i.e. I need to be more diplomatic). Any books recommendarions are appreciated 💁🏼‍♀️

Any Accenture consultants happy and proud of their job? Debating switching firms for an opportunity to move abroad, and I see a lot of negativity. Just want to see if some people enjoy it there 😅TIA🐠

Anyone prepping for the SHRM-CP test? I’m taking a prep course this fall and would love tips or to know if there are any study groups out there!

Do you still implement reference checks (on top of background checks)? I’m not convinced of the value add to the selection process and it takes a lot of time and resources

How much do partners make? That’s one data point that is never discussed. Do junior partners make $500k? How is the comp structured?
When do they start making a mill?

Which of the two contributes more revenue YOY then the other? New Clients or Existing Customers?

What would be a competitive earning for a Director of Sales at a SaaS company in Israel?

Anybody here an Account Manager at AON?

What company runs the background check?

Been a coach at the collegiate level for 6 years. Make a $65k salary. Want to leave coaching and break into sales/marketing/recruiting/consulting. I have ample leadership and recruiting experience with a strong work ethic.

I’m assuming I’m going to have to take a pay cut and start toward bottom of totem pole. Any recommendations/advice on roles to apply for since I’m new to the field? Would like to be in tech if possible in Charlotte, NC or remote.

So, a recruiter gave me feedback that my lack SPHR or SHRM-SCP is causing my resume to be knock out by AI and human recruiters despite my position and work history in Multinationals and being in Technology. They suggested that we put SPHR ( Lapsed). I let it lapse in 2017. What is your opinion? Plus if I were to take another certification - should I take SPHR or SHRM-SCP?

How does Deloitte F&EP compare to Accenture strategy CFO&EV? Have an offer from both and comp is largely the same. Biggest priorities are wlb, comp, and strategy oriented work. Thank you!

Hello, I looking for referral in business developpement management with relocation option. Thanks to anyone that can help!

How long do you think we will work from home? I’m thinking it could be months

Any book recommendations about human psychology / thought processes?

What is your daily routine on reading books or news out of work? Feel the time is dramatically reduced after I joined consulting😞

Hearing rumors about Huron layoffs. Any deets? Friend of mine said he got the "email".

Interested in how much others spend on food per month and what that breakdown looks like between at home or ordering out.

My husband and I have no kids and order/go out very rarely, maybe once a month, and our grocery bill for just the 2 of us has risen to around $750-$800 per month this year.

It's starting to feel very unreasonable to spend so much despite not wasting much. I do buy mostly produce but not always organic, and very little meat.

Just watched office space again and realized it’s actually about the FIRE movement (without explicitly saying it)

My RL didn’t have a formal mid year pre CRT review with me. He just pinged me and said: I’ll represent you. Utilization = 75% and average snapshots. Am I at risk?

Hi All,

I am looking to join NTT DATA IPS next week as a software developer, can anyone please help me to understand how's the WLB and culture of the company. And also about the projects which they will assign.

Your response will really help me a lot in making a right decision.

Yoe - 4.5yrs

Accepting an offer in IBD, lateraling over from consulting. Opportunity of a lifetime for me so don’t want to lose it.
But timing is horrible. I joined the Army Reserves before this opportunity was on my radar. Interviewed over several months, got the offer, but shipping out in 1 month for training for 6 months.
Do I irreversibly shoot my career by joining and immediately going on LoA? I obviously haven’t mentioned it in the interview process. Or will this be forgotten a couple years in?
