Any advice on whether I need to respond to/negotiate a non solicit/non compete in an offer letter?
Coming in at the post MBA level at a consulting firm, the term is for 2 yrs - happy to provide any additional context as needed.
Have never had to review or sign one before so just need some guidance on what to look out for

Non competes are usually unenforceable unless they are very specific. In certain states (like California), they're totally unenforceable. You can certainly raise the issue, but legal will tell you to pound sand I'd guess. Or you'll get some bs like "it's included in everyone's contracts etc".

At least at an established firm, an Associate level employee doesn't get to negotiate their employment contract.

If you're talking startup, hire a lawyer.

Hello Everyone!

I'm looking for part time sales development and market research roles in the UK. I have totally 6.5 years sales development experience in SaaS sales and currently pursuing MBA. It'd be great help if you can refer me or share job openings so I can apply! Open to connect to have discussion.

Thanks in advance!

Hello people, I have been working as a business consultant in an IT company for last 3 years now I want to switch into HR how should I proceed? Should I directly opt for interviews or should I go for some certification and then appear for interviews. Any help will be very appreciated.
Thanks!

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!
