I think I’m ready to leave public accounting. Where do I even begin? (See more in comments)

First off - thanks for any help!

After doing freelance for the last two years, I’ve decided to go back to the corporate world. I’ve been applying a ton of places but keep getting turned down immediately - not even a first interview and I can’t figure out why.

I feel like I have a lot of good accolades as far as awards, a graduate certificate program board I’m on, really good stats from my previous work, etc.

I have 7 years experience. Are people looking for someone w/ less experience/cheaper?

Hi fishes,
I am currently working as Branch Manager (scale-2 officer) in one of the leading public sector banks and have 5 yr experience in core banking. I am having 2.5 years experience in the IT sector on vision plus as a software engineer (before joining the bank). I have knowledge of core banking as well as good knowledge of banking tools like finacle, caps, imac etc. I want to switch to private financial institutions.
Any suggestions about such institutions and the domain for I can apply

Hi all, what’s a good career path after consulting? Where would you all go as your next step?

Hello, I’m an associate (almost at the one year mark) at a midsize firm on the EPL team. I did about 2 years of employment law as a clerk during school and know that’s what I want to go into. I’ve asked for more EPL work but keep catching PI cases. I second-chaired an employment trial but don’t see any EPL work for the foreseeable future and wasn’t getting as much EPL exposure as I wanted before the trial. Any advice on a lateral move to a bigger firm with a broader range of EPL work?

Anyone have info on MBB/Strategy& supply chain consulting? Group size, actively hiring, common backgrounds (MBA/certifications required/helpful?), project types, & interview prep tips?

Thanks!

CFP thinking of taking a few month career break to search for a new position. Need a recharge and to reevaluate, not to mention time to search. Would this be a mistake? Thanks

What certifications can I earn to increase my market value coming out of college? I’m graduating with a marketing and digital applications co-major and I have 2 HubSpot certs (Digital Advertising and Social Media Marketing) + relevant internships. I’m just trying really hard to get over 50K in Indianapolis (I sincerely can’t afford to accept anything lower) and being a new grad seems to REALLY be working against me no matter what I do. Help :(

Is it possible to transfer from audit 8 months in to FDD considering this market? I feel undervalued and want to contribute more…

I have 10 years of experience. Mostly in Unix, C++ and Visual C++ and MS SQL. I developed interest in cloud computing as like many others and was able to clear AWS Cloud Practitioner, AWS Solution Architect Associate and Professional, AWS Security. Along with these I was able to clear 8 Azure certifications as well: 3 fundamentals, Azure Security, Azure Developer, Azure DevOps and Azure Architect.
Now my main question, can I try to switch on Cloud Architect or some other similar cloud roles?

What is the most useful technical or soft skills for any mechanical engineer to have where you work? I’m curious to know what really matters for everyone and what makes a big impact on the team and business.

Specifics if you can; CAD tools, simulation, CAD speed or proficiency, industry or standards knowledge, GD&T, certifications, Microsoft Excel, presentation skills, technical writing, project management, self organization, great communication, teaching ability, relationship building, etc.

Thanks a ton for creating this group. I am personally embarking on a 2 year roadmap plan to exit out of mgmt. consulting and pivot to product management.

What do the exit ops from Capital One BA roles look like? Especially wrt PM roles in big tech.

Pre-requisites for Application Architect and B2B Solution Architect are exactly same, so what’s the difference between the two? Or am I missing something?🤔

Anything fun going on tonight? I have friends in town I’d love to take them salsa dancing / to see live music. Latin dancing / music preferred but open to anything 💃

Be honest, do you see yourself staying in the game to make partner?

How long after interview did you hear if it was a no or a go?

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range. The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?

Hello fishes
I want to come to Amdocs from EPAM with few months of experience, currently SDE2. I do have some questions, though.
1. How does EPAM compare to Amdocs? Regarding the job satisfaction, projects, Permanent WFH, etc.
2. This company is, in my opinion, one of the best for growth and high-quality projects. Can someone vouch to this?
3. I would appreciate it if you could recommend SDE2, SDE3, or both.
4. What should a reasonable CTC expectation be?
I am eager for your help and support. 🥰

What is your best marketing method to acquire new IP clients? Facebook? Tiktok? Word or mouth?

Any young professionals consider moving to Middle East for work?
Curious if I would be considered since they usually want a lot of experience.

Does anyone else constantly get mistaken for a nurse? I get it, I'm 5'4 and Black and work in pediatrics, but the assumption and casual racism is kind of ridiculous when the actual nurse has just told you that the doctor's coming and then I walk in the door. Doesn't really help when I'm one of the only Black on-call physicians. Annoying.

I'm starting a home health agency and I'm having second thoughts because of how saturated the market is. Anyone have any experience working at a home health care agency that can share some insight into the industry?

Do you feel like you can be your whole self at work? If not, what parts of yourself do you leave at home?

Anyone taking time off to spend time with family this week? I have the rest of the week off, and I'm heading to my mother's house tomorrow to help get things started. What's your favorite Black holiday tradition? Our family takes a shot together before we have Thanksgiving dinner 🤣.

Where's everyone from? I'm from Atlanta...Drop it in the thread!

Have you ever been racially discriminated against in a personal healthcare situation/not at work? While you were ill or in the hospital? Obviously horrible when it happens to anyone but it takes the cake for me when white people in healthcare discriminate about Black people when they don't know they work in the same field and know how they should be treated.

What are your goals for retirement in healthcare?

I have several job leads and I’ve been interviewing since March within the same company. They have been slow getting back with me and I just received a call from a job I applied for two months ago. Now that I have a potential offer elsewhere, should I stay and wait it out or go to the tech company for a new start?

The fact that our country can send 8 BILLION dollars to Ukraine but can't find funding for the water crisis in Jackson, Mississippi is embarrassing.

Expecting to hear if I got the job by Tuesday but have an interview the same day. How do I ask for time to think it over if I get an offer and how do I get the interview people to possibly speed it up so I can decide between the 2? I don't want to accept and then decline a few days later.. 😩

Good Morning! Question for you guys?! How do you counter offer a yearly 3% raise when you feel you should ask for more than the standard? Any ideas or verbiage?

Seeking direction in selecting the most cost effective and fastest route to become an MLS. I have a international STEM BSc (2014), 3 years of research lab experience, 1 year hospital lab experience and 2.5 years veterinary diagnostics experience. I live in Michigan and was told by two schools that my credits have to be less than five years old but I think they are trying to get me to pay more by staying in school for four years. Can anyone offer some guidance? Does my prior exp hold no value?

Any Healthcare Management members who are non clinical support in this group?

What advice would you share with a young pharmacist? I start my first job as pharmacist later this month!

Any pharmacist in industry and willing to give some advice on getting in? I’m a clinical pharmacist looking at roles in industry and wondering what positions fit someone who has practiced as a clinical pharmacist in oncology, critical care, and internal medicine who has not done a fellowship? I’ve seen medical science liaison, scientific associate, and market research, any other roles to look into? Thanks.

Have you experienced racism at work in the healthcare system? I have.

I’m trying to land a job in healthcare administration. I have my master’s degree, but I have only 2 years of professional experience. The jobs I have seen ask for 5+ years of experience, is experience weighted more than my masters? Is it about paying dues before landing a job? Or am I looking at the wrong places?
