Any suggestions for books to help determine your next career move? Considering leaving consulting for other opportunities (biz ops, product management, non-profit, etc.), but unsure when the right time is and what to pursue next

Hi everyone,
I have 2+ years experience with Salesforce, before Salesforce I was a full-stack dev with some DevsOps experience. I worked for Finance Services and Oil & Gas companies. Right now, I wanted to make a switch to Aviation, Aerospace or Defense company. I’m in Texas, specifically Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. I would really appreciated if someone can help point me to that direction.

HiAll, My lead resigned and my manager informed me just 2 weeks before her lwd on this and asked me to take up all their responsibilities. I don't think this is not a professional way to handle things and KTs are not properly given. I'm really worried if this will affect my career. I'm not really interested to work in this project. I have tried many ways to release me from this project . But manager is really amendment to release as there is no senior member in the team.

Anyone have any mba admission consulting material they can share with me? In return, I can provide consulting or pe prep material or help out to break into either industries :)

Canadian Opinions?

13 yr outside Sales Experience in the B2B space, multiple roles/companies. Current quota is $15MCAD, I usually do not bad in quota but lately has shifted to rewarding medicorciy and "pooling" some numbers countrywide which i really dont like.
Current comp is $85k Base and $115 OTE with a ceiling of $150k CAD/$120k US. Feel it's too little for my experience and they are taking perks away by the day.
Thinking of moving to I tech sales? Anyone else do it? What's comp look like?

Has anyone left healthcare and is now really happy? I’m an MSN, RN with 12 years hospital experience. I’m burned out and tired of making crap pay. I have an opportunity outside of healthcare that would pay more and challenge me in new ways that I haven’t experienced before. It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!

Currently at Deloitte, just received an offer at BCG - catch is the role and comp are one level below where I’m currently at. However, the industry is more aligned to my goals. Worth making the jump?

Tips on pursuing opportunities at LinkedIn? Which departments / roles are the best / worst and why? I have a tech sales background and not averse to sales again, but also open to other avenues.

Hi All!
This is my first post in Fishbowl, I'm looking for some genuine guidance on below query.

I have a total of 8.1 yrs of development experience in Java, Bigdata and Hadoop (new to it).
I got an offer from Capgemini for Manager/C2 designation with a CTC of 24 LPA. I just wanted to know the roles and responsibilities at this designation.
Will it be a profile shift from technical to managerial position or is just a designation (as per HR) the actual job would be to lead/guide any team?
Thanks

What certificates/training should I do in order to apply for a brand manager/marketing manager on the brand side? Almost regretting my choices since I come from a prominent pharma ad agency as an account, and it seems like most brands consider account as sales, and limit pharma transition into non-pharma industry.

When I moved in-house a year ago as a BigLaw mid-level, I took a 45% pay cut, far more than I was comfortable with (although I was fine with a 20-30% cut). I took the job because it was a great role and I was focused on making the jump in house and developing the skills I wanted, which required me moving away from my firm practice area. Now that my year-end review is coming up, how do I ask my company for a significant pay raise (not just a 2-5% inflation-matching raise)?

Does anyone else here have a hospitality management degree? Do you think it was worth it?

i'm in the final round for 2 different media positions in 2 completely different places (NYC and NC) and things are moving really quickly for both. the NYC job is my dream one but they're both offering $40k so i'm conflicted. any advice would be helpful lol

Google keyboard for iPhones is pretty cool, but mega annoying in the wrong hands.

Paid media team always seems like the most boring team in the office after HR. And they seem to always to look down upon organic/social team. Its not rocket science you know?

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!

What books would you recommend for someone wanting to get better at sales?

Has anyone interview for director level role at Walmart in bentonville? Will appreciate if you can share your experience

Has anyone gone through multiple interviews and not even been given a “thanks for applying but we went another way” or a reply to a follow up email after 3 weeks? I get it means I didn’t get it, but just seems weird to be completely blacked out unless they will don’t have any update for me? Lol

How do u research what a good sign on bonus is? Director in non consulting, health care insurance company ?

🐠 who specialize in op model/org design cases — what sort of exit ops are you targeting? Most of the recruiters who reach out to me are for internal consulting gigs, and I am just curious what else there is out there where our skills could be useful.

Have a 2 hour LBO model test for small size PE shop. How complex are these typically? Similar to a paper LBO given the 2 hour time frame or more of a full 3 statement model?

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.

What are the chances of Amazon (or FAANG in general) allowing you to apply/interview again for a position that you did not get in the past?

Went into industry a couple months ago. Previously 3 years in consulting. Okay gig but doesn’t feel right for me and want to apply elsewhere. Is it acceptable to tell recruiters it wasn’t a right fit if they ask about the short time I’ve been at the company? How can I phrase it better? Will switching now look bad?

Just got another rejection... Is exiting to FAANG or MB really this hard? Trying to go tech.. or mbb, but not getting anywhere. I have 2 masters (mba, ms) from top schools, been in consulting for over 10 years, I am confident that I know my stuff well..but still I keep getting rejected. Interviewed with Google, Amazon, Cisco, McKinsey, and a few others and every-time there is something that is not a match... are the hiring managers looking for like 100% match? That will never happen!!!

Is industry a good exit opp when don’t see yourself in the partner route here in PA? Senior trying to make a jump!
