You can probably get whatever you want in Commercial. MACs are an exception and require higher level approval due to their higher price.

also by director do you mean senior associate? And do you know what capability you will be supporting (or in this case leading)?

I’ve seen senior associates refer to themselves as directors externally

As long as you have a justification for a Mac you should be able to have one. I’m a senior consultant and I’ve one a MacBook Pro.

Be certain your CM knows you want one. They will help you get one.

Make sure Macs are ok with your project team too.

can you provide what kind of macbook are provided?

Hi All, I’m thinking about getting certified in change management but not sure if I should go the Prosci route or CCMP route. CCMP is a lot cheaper compared to Prosci but would it measure up just the same?

How's the growth path in Sales strategy, Sales enablement roles in IT?

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more. If the end goal would be that the friend might one day be a product manager and me an engineering manager taking instructions from the same friend, isn't consultant profile an easier path to growth. I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.

Took a role out of desperation and it was a big mistake. The firm was toxic and crazy revolving door. After only a few months I was fired "for cause" even though no cause was actually given. Is this the end of my career?
