What is alight noida in wipro ?

Which Canadian B school MBB or other top consulting firms regularly recruit from?

What is a simple way to explain to my boyfriend that investing in equity with an expected return of 10% is better than paying off debt that is growing at a rate of 6%. He has student loans and is adamant that he wants to pay all of them off immediately before saving any retirement money. I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k

Currently at a Tier 2 Strat shop, looking to lateral to MBB PEG/PIPE in the next 3 quarters.

Anyone ok for me to DM?

What are some good boutique consulting firms for change management and organisational transformation that pay well at the manager level?

Moving to London from US. Any recommendations on international moving/shipping service providers?

Is it better to register as DBA or LLC for someone starting a side hustle that may hopefully turn to a small business?

What’s the salaries for network architect these days ?

Hi fishies! Considering an internal big 4 move from Western Europe to Dubai. Not sure about WLB and whether there’ll be enough growth and learning opportunities after reading some of the threads here. Anyone up for sharing their experience? Especially concerned about sexism / racism as a WOC…and whether moving back to Europe in a few years will be difficult because the ME experience won’t be considered valuable.

What are the bgv docs required in cgi?

For those who've done Lasik in Chicago, any recommendations? I'm debating between LasikPlus and Kraff

So my fiancé and I are having a microwedding in Rocky Mountain National Park next year, and we’re working with an elopement planner.
She sent over a sample ceremony (intro, sweet poems + passages to be read, and example vows), and we read through it last night. I was reading it out loud while my fiancé made dinner, and it just hit me that this is really happening. I’m just really happy that I found someone who is willing to take a vow to spend his life with me and I’m so excited for that day :)

Anyone have experience in raising capital out of the Middle East (Jordan, Kuwait, SA)? Any experience in delivering solutions in that area? I am trying to figure out if a pursuit in that area is to much of a risk. Any insight is appreciated.

I work for a small management consulting firm and we want to expand our DD practice. How do you guys typically approach new clients and how important is a pitch/M&A expertise deck?

If some of the key creative leaders in your agency are actively advocating against recommending our clients take action for George Floyd or Black Lives Matter, what would you recommend doing?

I’m honestly tired of being at an agency and not feeling as fulfilled as I used with strategy as a career. Have anyone here make a career change? if so, what other jobs out there - outside of agencies and client side - can you apply what you know as a strategist? Curious if anyone has done it and has some advice.

What is a go-to-market strategy?

What’s the salary band variation for strategists between health and non-health agencies?

Has anyone worked with Wethos? Or, have you, as an independent strategist, worked on more “meaningful” social good projects? I am looking to mix things up, team up, and have an impact.

Hi All,

I’m looking for brands and interesting campaigns that communicate and showcase transparency, trust and openness.

Anyone know of anything interesting?

Thank you kindly.

Any good books for someone trying to understand the business side of marketing? Just got my review an they're asking I bring more of that MBA mindset to projects I'm on.

What brands are you really into at the moment? Would be great to think about and be inspired by those doing a great job!

Has anyone ever worked with Mark Pollard or Julian Cole? Are they as great as they seem?

Looking to hire a boutique social media agency who has expertise in helping launch a CPG home cleaning product. Would need support primarily on social platforms. Ideally, the firm would also be able to create content and help determine who the target market is through data tracking and analytics. Any ideas?

If Arya Stark from GOT worked in advertising, she would be a strategist...

Less of a question, more of a request... stop asking your junior BIPOC strats to work on BLM briefs because they are the only voice of color on your team. In a time where we need support grappling with our very REAL realities and how it impacts how we show up in the agency, the LAST thing we need is an “opportunity” to express our “unique POV” on a diversity brief (that we won’t even get to speak to none the less). Imagine having to chanbel your trauma into a deck to sell in an idea to clients?

Influencer Marketing remains a black box in the business. In y’all’s opinion; Who are the key players in the influencer space?! Agencies, tech companies and private companies? I want to follow companies who are doing it big and correctly

Wondering if anyone has a good example of a brand that originally sold a commodity/mass food and successfully introduced a premium/luxury line, under the same brand name. Kicker is the brand has to have started as mass then gone upmarket, nor vice versa.

Has anyone worked at a smaller branding agency? Would love to switch from big agency to actually creating brands but not sure how to start there.

Do you drink at holiday parties? This is the first company I've worked for that does a real holiday party and I'm kind of anxious about letting my guard down around my co-workers like that...

Can anyone recommend a good headhunter that has experience in placing agency strategists on the client side (not just agency only)?

Starting to think about making the switch from agency to brand side. Any tips from strategists who have already made the jump? And is there a level at which it makes the most sense (i.e. should I wait until I make Director and then make the switch, or does it not really matter)?

Anyone work at Instrument’s PDX office? Just applied for the Senior Strategist position. Have both UX and Brand experience. What’s it like to work there? Looking to move back to the PNW!
