Been with a bank for 15 years, the last 6 as a financial advisor. Looking to transition to a role better suited for my finance MBA and background outside of the sales realm. Unfortunately every recruiter and interviewer only sees my sales background and wants to hire me as an advisor at their firm. Any tips on how to avoid being type cast as a production only employee?

Hello!
I’m a senior graphic designer with close to a decade in the industry with some agency experience. I’m wanting to dive into more of a surface pattern design role and wanted to know if anyone knows or has any leads for any hybrid roles in/surrounding Orange County, CA or fully remote! I have a portfolio that I can share as well.

I really don’t see many of these on linked in so I figured it’s best to speak to someone who works with or is in this type of role

Thank you!!

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.

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

Nice bowl to avoid lowering the average in the US-centric threads. Anybody else finding that with the lack of pay rises this year, it’s become even harder to benchmark? Had a few recruiters recently suggesting I’d get 25% more by moving to a competitor but no telling whether that’s a short term-gain for a longer term hit.

Do companies sometimes offer "gifts of appreciation" if you're not selected for a merit increase? My manager randomly called me to let me know I was chosen for the "gift" this year bc of my "hard work & dedication", except now I'm learning other colleagues are receiving actual merits.
I mean it's possible that I may receive a merit, but I feel like I won't considering my manager never brought it up & the dept update made it sound like those receiving it should know by now.
