Anyone in tech strategy at consultant or manager level looking for exit opportunities to Fin-tech internal strategy at a large bank? DM your email.

Do you typically get paid more if you go directly through a company’s recruiters or through a third party recruiter? I’m getting messages from both for the same role

If a recruiter advises a pay range for a specific position is $65-75k in the initial phone screening, how set in stone is that? I know it may vary by company/position but I feel I deserve move based on my qualifications than top of their range.

Would you take a pay cut to move from an on-site to a fully remote position? If so what % of a cut and where would you move if anywhere?

I’m at a Fortune 500 company with an employee stock purchase plan but I’m unhappy with my salary and job title.

Have interviews set up at FAANG co and getting good signals, for a position that was posted widely (all across US) but not remote. Haven’t broached the subject of location yet. Would you (1) early on clearly state that you’re not open to relocation but that you would be open to visiting a big office once or twice a month; (2) not say anything now and wait to get an offer and ask for an exemption; or (3) something else?

Client recently offered me a job for an open req (industry eq SM). The work is flexible, the req is just to get me in the door but I decide what I want to work on (which I trust to be true). Much better culture, wlb, etc., but I’d be taking a 100k pay cut and be an IC with no team. Is it worth taking a step back in pay and responsibilities, or does it seem possible to get all in one?

Is asking expected hrs during the offer phase a reasonable question? It's a startup and I just want to know if it's a 40 hr gig or an 80 hr gig

Do customer success roles get h1B sponsorship? Is that a rome aligned to strategy? Or operations?

Received an external offer in a customer success role. Overall TC is slightly lower than current salary. How would you negotiate? Help and advice is needed - never done this before. Base+Bonus 210K, RSUs 90K, Sign on 15K. Where can I get more and what makes sense? Current TC is ~250K

Thinking of going on a sabbatical and using the time to dust off resume, get certs and find a new position.Anyone else recommend this? Currently being distracted by billable work that adds 0 to resume

From 180k full time to 200k and 10 percent sweat equity in a boutique consulting firm as their cto, to kickstart their AWS practice .. any thoughts. This new company does not have any product thinking or strategy and full lifecycle cloud delivery pedigree yet ..

I’ve been in change management for 4 years but I’ve seen some jobs asking for prosci certification. Do I really need this? Want to make sure before I throw away $4260

Is asking for 105k with 2 years experience ridiculous in NYC? I keep being offered 70-80 when first year analysts here already make 90+ but can’t tell if I should expect a pay cut heading to industry

Recruiters, is it a red flag if a potential candidate’s previous job experience is as follows:
Job 1: 1.5 years
Job 2: 2.5 years
Job 3: 2.5 years

Fishes, would you be willing to move to a new company for $20K increase in your base pay? No sign-on bonus and not a target company.

What tactics have you or peers used to find interesting exit ops at manager level or above?

I’ve worked mostly for financial services clients (banks, insurers, payments, etc.) but the exit ops I’ve come across seem a little underwhelming (mainly corp strat roles). Trying to get a better sense of what’s out there as someone who doesn’t have a specific content niche.

First year (ug level hire) and got email from apple recruiter. Would love to exit to FAANG but not sure I'm ready to leave BCG in my first year but maybe after 2-4. What is best practice?

Anyone know what it’s like to work at Globant? Any details about the business hacking practice would be helpful

See a posting for an Digital Media Analytics Manager at Spark Foundry. Don't know much about the company. Anyone have insight to this company/position?

Worked so hard to get a tech exit with reasonable comp, but now that I got it, it feels weird to leave strat consulting. Consulting pays more in the longer term with much faster progression, but once in tech always in tech, more meaningful S&O work and better wlb (hopefully??)

Anyone felt this way before? :(

About to start my first PM job! Any tips to be prepared and ramp up quickly? Books to read, courses to take, etc.. any tips are appreciated! Currently in ops consulting. No tech background.
