Im in a B4 deals advisory group making $102k right now and will be up for promo to SA in may. Pay bump to $130k next July should I make it. Currently eyeing a lateral to T2 ( want to do strategy/CDD work) where I’d come in as an associate at $100k ish base. I think the move makes sense given the work better aligns with my long term career goals, but wanted others thoughts on whether it’s not smart given the loss in base for a year or two?

I have just started my journey in Salesforce and I have started working on Salesforce Vlocity. Order management to be specific. I wanted to know what are the opportunities and what kind of job market is there in Salesforce/Vlocity.

Also is it good for learning to start off with Vlocity/Order Management right off cause it is a bit confusing for me.

Some guidance would be useful

Are there any companies hiring remote rn and willing to take a change on someone looking for a career change? I’m a senior manager in operations, but I just don’t like what I do. Honestly, the money doesn’t speak to me anymore either. I understand I probably need to take a step or two down in level, but I am willing to grind! Thank you!

I’m currently in the process of being converted from contractor to permanent. In my initial conversations I was under the impression that I was in a different pay grade and asked for a salary 25k higher than the max allotted for my position. I feel like it gave the impression that I don’t know what I’m doing. Any suggestion how I can recover from this?

Hi! Can someone recommend a source for learning how do simple, fun music lessons on Zoom? I teach first grade and use music for my transitions. I would also like to play songs for them with my guitar, but am concerned it won’t sound good on zoom (the guitar, not my voice, which is bad, we established that long ago)

Is exp hiring easier than through college/mba? I assume there might be less competition but more self selection and less spots

I graduated in May of 22. I transitioned from being an intern to being a full time counselor, now for 6 months. I feel like I might be catching my agency at a tough time, but as an employee it doesn’t seem to be trying anything to keep me here besides the occasional ‘motivational’ posts from the administrative team. I felt like I was lowballed during my offer, and my negotiation salary was denied since this is technically my first “professional” job. Pt 2 in comments:

Not sure if other firms are the same, at EY we can add “🏳️‍🌈 I support inclusion” in our email sig. Most people from Unity ERG don’t. If you don’t, why not? Particularly during Pride month.

Does your undergrad school matter to MBA admissions? Does it make a difference if you have a great GPA from a state school or an average GPA from a highly selective school?

Fishes,

Does anyone know about the IAAP diploma in IFRS?

IAAP is an awarding body in UK.

My doubt is, does the value of the certificate of IFRS change depending on the Institution?

Will a person who cleared IFRS from IAAP have same value as a person who cleared IFRS from ACCA?

Thanks in advance

Hey fellow fish,
Deloitte Tax Management Consulting (TMC).
Thoughts please? Is it mgt consulting? Exit opps?

What can I do outside the office to boost my resume and be a substantially more attractive candidate for top consulting firms in ~12 months time. Working in disputes and valuation role but want to go into management consulting next year (post MBA role). I feel like my job isn’t enough because skills aren’t considered as transferable outside this field.

What do people think are the actual top factors for getting into good business schools? How much do “stats” like undergrad GPA actually matter?

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.

Is it normal for managers/project leads to request a 3 month notice if you want to leave your project and join another one? My project does this and I think it’s absurd.

I enjoyed the nyc speakeasy post. Now for LA: any cool bars/speakeasies?

Anyone familiar with Charles River Associates?

Looking for a Meta (Facebook) referral! Super passionate change professional who is excited about the opening.

Why do some people get laid off and others not? Is it always utilization? Do people typically know they're at risk before it gets to that point?

It’s insane how fit Jeff Bezos is. Usually people at his level look so out of shape cause they don’t have the time to work out, but Jeff looks like he spends 2 hours at the gym everyday.

Those with more experience - have you ever seen anything like crypto in the past? Something so ubiquitously talked about, and so many people have made so much money? I know there’s been bubbles in the past, but this feels more sustained than say tulips. But I’m young so it’s hard to gauge

Books to learn more about how to drive sales in consulting? Any recommendations?
