Considering an exit to a BizOps role at a global late stage tech startup - in terms of progression after BizOps, what does that look like? Do people join other startups, FAANG, M7 MBA, corporates, consulting again? Any insight is appreciated!

Do you ever find yourself as just a “meeting scheduler” to one senior leader and an account manager to another? It’s exhausting & my role isn’t defined anywhere so I sort of understand. How do I deal?

Currently in manager research at an investment consultant. Anyone move out of research? What’d you pivot to?

Had a second round interview for an experienced hire role 6 weeks ago, was told I was moving to the final round, and no date has been set. Last communication from recruiter was almost 3 weeks ago. Followed up with the recruiter last week, crickets. Am I no longer being considered?

Did an unsolicited submission to a firm 3 months ago, as their website indicated no recruiter submissions for unsolicited positions. Didn’t hear back, & a third-party recruiter reached out regarding an actual opening. Since I’d already submitted my materials, I can’t work with said recruiter. Would it be ok to reply to my previous email/submission to the firm explaining the situation— I.e, recruiter reached out regarding opening, can’t work w. her, resubmitting in consideration for x position?

Hi my IBM sharks..

So I joined IBM five months back and just a week back I got a project.

Since my shift is 11:30 am - 8:30 pm, I started clocking in my hours in Workday from previous Monday for shift allowance and its pending for approval with my people manager.

Guys can you tell me when should we contact our manager by the end of every week or by the end of the month to get the entered time approved on Workday?

Secondly, does the people manager approve it or the project manager?

Folks on the job hunt - do you feel like more companies are trying to fill open roles before the end of the year or waiting til 2021 to hire new headcount?

I’m frustrated. I’ve been in the job market for an ungodly amount of time, applying to various companies and have had zero luck.

I’m getting worried nothing will pan out and would really appreciate words of wisdom. Given our current situation, I understand the job market isn’t too hot right now but, are there any companies you’d suggest looking into that are hiring? Ideally, I’d like to work client-facing (sales, BDM, partnerships etc.) please help!

Thinking of pivoting (in the next few years) from a big4 consulting firm making decent money to something more meaningful (to me) and hands-on but maybe seen as “lower”. I’m willing and able to go back to school or relocate for a new career, and as long as I can pay bills & save some, money isn’t a huge deal to me.

Some (def not all) ideas I’m spitballing:
Forestry services
Bartender
Mechanic
EMT
Seasonal work in national parks
Pilot
Electrician
Radiology tech

Talk me into/out of it!

It’s been asked before whether it’s worth it to pay (~$150) to upgrade a 3 hr flight. I generally agree it is not. But what if your two tweenagers bicker nonstop and are complete and total jerks to you all the time and your spouse chooses the “they’ll grow out of it” approach to things so basically you just want 3 hours of alone time. Then is it worth it?

(Note, in this scenario, they are all entirely too naive to realize it isn’t a system comped upgrade.)

Partners of Fishbowl. What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you’re evaluating people for promotions?

Partners, what year of partnership did you cross $1M total comp. and has it been above since?

Have conversation with hiring manager on offer details. What should I say once offer is laid out? I’d like to keep room for negotiations. How can I also let other firms kno I now have an offer.

What are some exit opportunities for me when I hit senior in August? I currently have 1.5 YOE and will have 2 YOE when I hit senior. I am currently in the tech consulting arm of my firm but I have only been on PPP and AML projects since I joined.

Found an opp, it’s my exact skill set, I get a title increase (VP), paycheck decrease, but made up in bonuses. Worthwhile? Brand name is meh, but is fintech.

It’s weird, finding it hard to quit since current comp is actually good, which I figure is by design. Golden handcuffs.
