Anyone who could help with a referral to Facebook in an Operations and Strategy Manager role in Chicago? I’ve been at PwC ~2.5 years since my MBA and have about 5 YOE prior to that. Thanks in advance!

Which firm.

Did you make manager yet at Pwc?

I would caution you about joining a FAANG and being in any location that is not HQ. It's generally ok for sales related jobs however, for management jobs... especially if you have aspirations for career growth, it's very tough.

Unlike consulting and more traditional companies where you can have a strong career at any location, FAANGs are all about proximity to the mothership and your relationship with execs who are at the mothership

At the very least if you are in any sort of management or senior role, prepare to spend at least 1 week/month at HQ.

Appreciate the input - had not heard that perspective before!

Hi Fishes,
I've been offered for Engineering expert position at Novartis India. I've received offer letter 2 weeks back and my DOJ is updated to Mid December. I told the HR that my current company's last working day is on mid January and resend the offer letter with mid Jan as my DOJ. But they told that they can send the revised offer letter 3 weeks before the joining date.
Is this normal process? Has anyone gone through similar experience?

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview? During the 1st interview, I learned that the compensation for the role is not within the range that I am looking for and requires 400 more billable hours a year than what I bill now. I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!
