Considering couple of consulting offers - slalom vs Adobe, potential opportunities with Microsoft and Amazon and couple smaller upcoming consulting firms - which one would you choose? High tech consulting or consulting consulting? Which firm of these is best for long term tenure, growth and easy collaborative culture?

Hello everyone,

Need your help to choose which is a better path to switch from Non IT to Core domain.
Confused on what to learn software testing or AWs devops or front end development etc.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Honest opinions please—will oil and gas trade association experience be looked down upon by future environmental law firms/ non profits/ the clean energy space? Or will it be looked as a plus? Trying to break into the energy regulatory space but been having less luck with the renewable energy space.

Burned out in current role. 10-plus years post-MBA experience in Corp Fin role unable to move up to Director due to lack of "scope" - limited to no opps. Currently, work 40-50 hours week (minimal to no weekends) and earn ~250 TC. Work day is "intense" - many quick turnaround projects from task to task.

Is it worth shopping around? Can I get promo to Director level at another Tech company, earn more and still maintain same level of hours (limited weekend work)? Less intense days possible?

How possible would it be for a 3rd grade teacher to transition into consulting? Majored in education with 3 yoe

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

Guys, i have an offer at Accenture. I'm concerned about the probation period - 6 months with another possible 3 months.

So, a recruiter gave me feedback that my lack SPHR or SHRM-SCP is causing my resume to be knock out by AI and human recruiters despite my position and work history in Multinationals and being in Technology. They suggested that we put SPHR ( Lapsed). I let it lapse in 2017. What is your opinion? Plus if I were to take another certification - should I take SPHR or SHRM-SCP?

Who are the top consulting firms for competitive strategy?

Let's say I can't get a product or marketing job in tech, but I could get in via sales or customer success. Does working in those roles pigeonhole you, or is it easy to switch later? If you take a job as a customer success mgr for ads, or as a partnership mgr for learning solutions for industry X, are you going to get stuck in those products (ads, learning solutions), roles (CS, sales/partnerships), or target industry (X)?

Currently use Nissan Altima. It’s old and has engine issues. So, can’t travel long distances (more than 2 hour drive) with my 1 year old. We are not car fanatics and definitely not looking for a fancy/expensive option. 2019 or later, $20k budget but can go higher if there is a valid suggestion, value for money option.

About rolling off my project with no new project opportunity yet. I’m already getting anxious and can’t have a full night rest with the worry of not finding a project soon and eventually getting laid off. Although I tend to stress-out easily but this type of anxiety is different. Are others feeling the same way? Also over 90% chargeability and great reviews, but seems like that may not matter with the recent layoff stories I’ve read....
