Hi,
I have recently received an offer from Infosys for SAPBWHANA associate consultant profile. Can someone please throw the light on growth prospects as I don’t have SAP background. YOE- 2.5 years, MBA

Anyone have info on MBB/Strategy& supply chain consulting? Group size, actively hiring, common backgrounds (MBA/certifications required/helpful?), project types, & interview prep tips? Looking to enter as an experienced hire. Currently a procurement financial analyst and just passed my CSCP certification. Ex-big4.

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!

Anybody out here know of any “development programs” for mid career professionals looking to transition to sales? Have a data/analytics b/g., but I’m much more social than a “typical” data/analytics person. We have a program at my company that I’m networking to get into, but believe it’s prudent to diversify options, as there is obviously no guarantee that they select me for the program.

Do you think those with masters degrees in accounting are more prepared for the CPA exam?

Anyone work in Salesforce effectiveness? Do you like it? Good work/path to take? Currently in broad HR consulting and considering it as a specialized career path. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I’m a creative who has yet to break into the industry and I have concerns.

As I continue to finish up my portfolio and hunt for creative jobs in advertising, I cannot help but get a bit discouraged. I see and hear so many horror stories about being black in advertising and a lot of times it just seems like the risks are much greater than any reward from working in this industry. Am I wrong in thinking so? I need a job and to make a living, but at what cost? How do I work through this?

Have a business background and AWS certs and was curious about career options within AWS. Any one willing to talk or provide guidance?

Hi Fishers,

New/pivoting into HR! 👋 Currently working as a TA Coord with a little entry level work in HR Ops prior to this. Is there a SHRM link, reliable test, or method of shadowing the various parts of HR that will provide a sample of the work, thinking, and day to day experience of each group? I didn’t go to school for HR and therefore haven’t had the opportunity to sample HR Ops. vs. TA vs. Comp vs. Benefits vs. Payroll, etc. I know work experience is the best barometer, but what can supplement this?

Been working in experiential/digital marketing for 6+ years as PM, AM and currently business manager. Over the past 1.5 years I have discovered a deep interest in sponsorship/partnership marketing, particularly on the brand side.
Truly believe this is what I was meant to do but it's proving to be a VERY difficult space to crack into. I’ve been networking as often as I can, but can anyone w/experience in Sponsorship Mktg make recommendation to improve my candidacy? (Courses, Certs, other?)

Looking to move to the Dallas Fort Worth area close to June I’m here to network and see it all would welcome me and help me out during my transition

Any chance to lateral upwards?

Hi Fishes,
I'm currently working for a fintech firm as SQL Developer which has got me into a toxic working culture(zero support from colleges) with no learnings so far.

Although, I'm from a Commerce domain..I wanted to move into Data Analytics so I learned SQL and Tableau on my own to get myself better Data Analytic job opportunities to build my career in.

However, without any live projects and hands on experience on the tool, I could only learn a few things about these two mentioned tools. So

Company A - 100k base + 35k sign + higher bonus
Company B - 125k base + 10k sign + lower bonus

Company A is a good bit more superior in terms of exit opps and has better WLB and growth. I feel I’ll be happier at A. Thoughts?

Does working for Partners (particularly Boomers) of your respective ethnicity or diversity demographic feel like the ultimate haze? Do you feel like they haze you worse than your non-diverse peers?

Does your community (race/ethnic group/however you identify as non-white) actually use people of color to describe themselves? I honestly feel like the term was made up to make it easier for white people to group us together. To be fair though I say "Black and brown folks" all the time so if that's hypocritical let me know.

Trump signed a law in 2018 making the removal of classified documents a felony. Sounds like a full circle karma to me.

I feel like I'm going through really bad imposter syndrome, How do you manage it ?

For those who were once in Big Law, how long did you stay in Big Law? What prompted you to leave? For those still there, how long have you been there? I am wondering how common my tenure is (staying less than 3 years)

I made partner!!!!!! We know the statistics - less than 1% of partners at major law firms are black women. But listen, sky’s the limit — we shaking the table and taking all that we deserve!!!!

Do you think unconscious bias has played a role into the amount of hours/projects you get from partners?

Need a gut check—is it crazy to lateral for not vibing with your firm? My firm is great on paper but they usually hire by word of mouth, so attorneys tend to be of similar background. I’m the only POC attorney & don’t have much common w/ everyone else. I’m worried that this will affect my development, since partners & senior associates prefer working w/ associates they get along with. I’m friendly and professional, but sometimes I feel I’m overlooked because I don’t click with them as much.

Chicago attorneys: know anyone who does financial planning for those in big law? 1st gen attorney and I admit I know damn near nothing about my finances beyond what my mom taught me which is keep a $20 in my wallet.

What is your stylish go to shoe for work?

I'm considering helping a family friend out, have you ever represented someone pro bono? What are things to be mindful of?

Does any other attorney POC feel like they have to live double lives? I’m guilty of trying to “blend in” with my white team members. I wish I could be myself (at least to an extent) and not fake it.

So my firm went out an email about the current “racial tensions” and encouraged people to read the diversity plan/statement.
I just want to reply all “but do black lives matter?” so badly.
