Hello,
I am in my late 20s currently in a career transition from teaching to consultancy. I am interested in consultancy jobs within the international development industry that would also allow me to travel. However, I do not have any relevant experience. I speak French and have a background in business and Political Science.
Any advice on how to break into the field with no experience?
Thanks in advance!

Happy New Year, all. I am in the market for a new watch. I am stuck between the GS Elegance (summer dial) and the JLC master ultra thin moon. Thoughts?

I keep getting feedback from managers and interviewers that I am strong in product strategy and business mindset, but weak in technical skills despite my CS undergrad and 2 YOE as a software engineer. Granted I have not coded in many years but I am knowledgable enough to understand and discuss technical questions with my dev team. what should be the expected level of technical knowledge?

How do you respond when your CPO tells his team that our MVP for an upcoming product is not lean enough, when the CPO agreed to the original MVP? Seems like she’s getting pressure from the board and that we need to get something shipped in early Jan which was not a timeframe we were explicitly working towards

Anyone knows what are good non-BB IBs to move into in London? I’m an ACA and currently been 1yr+ in the Corporate Finance M&A team at a Big4. I’m looking to move into a good IB next year. I got Houlihan Lokey and Alantra in mind but let me know what you think?

PS if you could also share any insights around compensation and work culture about the firm you suggest that would be great.

Any Deloitte fish can help with a refferal? I wanted to apply for the job that start on 2021 next year. Thanks!

What is your average monthly budget for living in SF? With inflation happening, I am trying to be more realistic about my spending, and just wondering what is normal for others if that's not weird! Would love to hear. Single 35 M for reference

What’s a recent ad that you would’ve done differently?

Anyone interested in purchasing a SXSW Film badge at the early bird special cost of $895?

My agency just implemented ‘quick starts’ on campaigns, meaning we basically forgo strategy and briefs and go straight to brainstorming ideas. How redundant has our planning department just become?

After 12+ years in FTE roles both agency and brand side in strategy/brand marketing/social strat roles. Thinking about taking it freelance. But I’ve never done freelance or consulting before - ever. Would love to connect with someone who’s done this (or does it on the side) - would anyone be open to do a Zoom call with me to answer questions/give me advice? As a token of my appreciation, I’d send you a Drizly (or Seamless, DoorDash, or UberEats) gift card so we could make it a happy hour!

Where do strategists typically go next for career client-side wise?

I feel like what we do is super beneficial to creative but that's not how it's perceived by a lot of people on here. What do y'all think? How are you feeling/responding to all the hate?

What should a planner with 1 year of experience be capable of doing or have already accomplished in their career? I’m worried that I am behind

Decade+ in and realizing I would rather be either in pure play brand consulting (like an Interbrand) or in consumer/culture advisory (deeper thought leadership, trends, consulting, like a Gartner or a WGSN ish) than stay in ad agencies working on campaign development. Has anyone made a pivot like this successfully? I feel like I am at a point where there are some skills or experiences those worlds require that I haven’t been able to “go deep” on, consistently in agency brand planning world.

Need a good vendor for testing design, specifically new logo and brand systems. Still iffy on if it’ll be qual or quant. Anyone you ❤️?
