Been living off my 401k since it’s been impossible to find work in this industry anymore. Each time I take money out is a painful reminder that this is not going to get better.

I wish I emptied it out completely before Trump tanked the economy. Not sure I’m going to make it through Spring.

Are there any federal consulting firms that do work in the life sciences? I think I would be really interested in a few years doing work for different CMS projects. I’ll be doing life science strategy/market research for a few years.

What would be a reasonable base salary for an in-house senior/managing counsel role? 10 YOE, SaaS with about 500 employees. Located in Los Angeles.

Anyone heard good things about CFGI? I’ve heard their comp structure is gimmicky with overtime pay. But if I could make the same base there as I do in big 4 with the chance of some overtime pay is it worth it to give it a shot?

Just got rejected from PwC. Can I apply again after few months hitting 1 YOE?

Bad at case interviews... Ugh. Does this mean I won't be a good fit for strategy related roles?

At a different job I had a customer trying to swindle me in telling me that there was a deal in an item that never had a deal or promotion for sale so he made me scan the item 20 times before believing me. Obviously, he finally let it go but I scan it with an inventory scanner that showed me all of the sale price promotions if there were any

Are there any organizations out there where POC in the industry can provide mentorship to young POC looking to break in or already in? Looking to give back through mentorship but don’t know where to start. Would love an Asian organization, but I don’t want to limit the field.

Creatives, how do you show your pharma work on your portfolio? Under a password protected page? Emailed pdf? In person only?

My theory- Vettel was smart to get out of Ferrari with 2021 rule changes, and since it is a ‘level playing field’ he might go to a dark horse minion who might have a ‘Team Brawn’

Anything specifically to ask when receiving an offer?

What do you do if you hate your partner?

Is anyone else having trouble just BEING back at the office… for a full day? Even if it’s hybrid. It’s like driving me insane just sitting here in silence and making small talk from 9-5:30. I feel so trapped.

Got any jokes?

What happens if your company wins an award for your work after you've left?

I am leaving my comfortable uninspiring job and taking a risk without next job lined up. Idiot or smart?

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .

I’m starting a new job tomorrow and really doubting myself right now... Help for overcoming first day jitters?

The clients love saying “ladder up.” Hate it

Can we really just not with April Fools ads? So cringe inducing, so bandwagon-y, so god damn corny & depressingly expected...🤢

A little over a year ago, I posted about my boss making constant comments about my salary. Most comments said I must not have been performing well. I want to update that he was fired, not me.

Those who hold more senior positions - How do you feel about juniors who say "no” ? (Too much on their plate, overworked, etc) ... Curious if there is also a better way of saying no?

Ever start to notice someone in the office that you want to approach and talk to? ... they’re not on any of my teams - But they’re pretty cute.

If you got fired today would you have a Bach up plan? What would it be?

Why do all of you get Starbucks at the same time everyday? Genuinely curious.
