Anyone able to give genuine advice on how a Senior Consultant can (i) perform well in current role and (ii) advance to manager? It's a mix of both performing solidly as SC and showing signs that I can handle the next level, but would be very grateful if someone experienced can shed some light! #mentorship

Take the place of the manager on your projects. Leadership needs to see you already as a manager to get promoted IMO. Lead and mentor junior and other SA’s in your practice, take ownership of the project finances. become the go to person for something, volunteer for PD work and make sure the partners and directors have visibility into all of this by advocating for yourself and highlighting the work you’re doing.

Hope not seeing the boiler plate advise of must see u operating on next level blabla without anything concrete. One challenge I see is how do u manage peers of same level when you’re all same rank and the leadership deliberately being vague about chain of command so everyone trying to outshine each other and nobody respecting your managing them ?

Hi Fishes, Have a query. My spouse is working in the electrical and electronics field for the last 15years, in various GCC countries. Now he wishes to come back to India and wants to join some company here. But seems like similar opportunities are very less, say close to 3-4%. What is your opinion if he takes a DevOps course and do a career change ? What will be the % of getting interviews ? Even if he gets selected, how much will he get?
Please reply.

The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?

I'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.

I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.

Hi. I’m relatively new to recruiting and my role is primarily in supporting recruiters. I’ve noticed that even when I include a specific request or call to action, that my emails receive a response less than 50% of the time. Is this lack of responsiveness indicative of company culture or more about the culture of recruiting, since they receive so many emails? Thoughts? I’ve not experienced this rate of responsiveness in any organization I’ve worked for. I am beginning to take it personally.
