Are technical skillsets in hot areas (like cybersecurity) rewarded/sought after by the bigger firms (MBB/T2/B4)? My concern is that a technical person, even if they are a good at managing a team and growing the business, would be limited due to not having an MBA or something similar. Any thoughts on that?

Hi fishes,

I got selected for sps T4, however I'm uncertain about the job role , if anyone could give insight about how the role is and what are the growth opportunities it would be great!

Thanks in advance!!! 😊

Recently obtained my aPHR and I’m considering next steps in advancing my career. I am eligible to sit for the SHRM-CP presently and will not be able to sit for a PHR until 09/2023. Any pros/cons with either certification? Should I wait to sit for PHR or go for SHRM-CP now?

I’ve been told my company is changing my title from Associate Director of BD to Sales Executive. I’m concerned it reads like a title demotion. Is it just semantics? How will this look for my career development? Curious about the standard perception of Sales Executive from a seniority perspective. Where does this land on the sales roles hierarchy? For context, it’s a professional services firm, I’ve been there 3+years, and they gave a Sales Executive title to someone who just started 5mo ago.

I’m a bit rough around the edges and I think this is severely hindering my abililty to connect with people in my department and civilians. What are some good ways to break out of this and develop my people skills?

Hi all- I’m a first year staff who works in Forensic accounting & compliance. I am almost at 1 year in PA, & have come to terms that this career is not for me.

My PA experience has provided me with hard skills, which is why I think it would be a great segway into the music biz & entertainment industry. Please react/comment if you are in the music biz/tech field. Would love some advise on how to pivot!

Moved to the city about 6 months ago and I’ve been disappointed in my experience. I know the pandemic is playing a factor but I didn’t expect the winter days as gloomy as they’ve been. For those who have lived here for a while, is this normally what the winters are like? What do you do to keep things interesting when you can’t go outside? Last two months have made me consider moving but part of me feels like I won’t have given the city a fair shot

Anyone have experience working in sales for a startup? What are things to consider? Got a recruiter contacting me about an open position very similar to what I do now, at a startup.

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?
