One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

I cant afford to live in NY anymore and need to move bc my landlord is selling the house.

I don't think I have enough time to buy a home. I have less than 2 months to move.

I think relocating is my best option and just renting something in Denver, CO or Tampa, Fla. I'm an early 30s f and would be living alone.

I would prefer a townhouse if possible, but it seems harder to find them so far.

Recommendations for best suits in Dubai? Good quality but not 10k either.

If I receive an offer in Austin but end up moving to NYC in the future, does google adjust the compensation? From my understanding I will receive a lower offer based on my location but curious if they apply the same logic to moves after joining?

Ketanji did not come to play! Came out of the gate ready to fight and turn these racist arguments on their heads. The way she was dropping 14th Amendment bombs on that man made me so happy. And this is only her first day. I just hope they protect her well.

Hi fishes

Need a reality check-
Profile-
Btech (mech) + MBA (non-IIM top 15)
4 years enterprise account management- US based personal computing OEM
1 year Management Consulting- Sales transformation

Input required on-
1. What is my profile fit for account executive role like?
2. What is the salary I can target? (Current- 19.6 fix+ 3.5 JB+ 4 variable) I am gunning for at least 30% jump on fixed.

Hi fishes, my previous employer has not given me the money for Earned Leaves, they are saying it's not in their policy.. I have a variable bonus of 100000. Out of this they have given only 19,000 in the month of December after 6 months of joining...But they are not giving me any bonus after completing 1 year and 2 months.. They have stopped my appraisal as well...

So in total, I lost my appraisal money, bonus and Earned Leaves money... I feel betrayed and cheated...

What should I do ??

Have a first round with an MBB, but I’ve already accepted an offer elsewhere. Should I proceed with the interviews then burn the other company if I get an offer? Or not proceed to avoid a rejection, in hope or recruiting in the future? Does a past rejection hurt my future candidacy?

Hi fishes,

Trust everyone is well !
I'm actively looking for a suitable opportunity ( Senior QA Automation Tester) in Singapore which can provide Visa sponsorship as well.
By any chance, does anyone have references in Singapore? I would be available immediately to join the organisation.

References will play an important role in the case of Foreigners in Singapore.
Thanks in advance.

Anyone here who left fed job and regretted it?
