At Kearney it does not matter, it certainly does not matter within the America’s.

Your referrer will give you better background context if they know the office though. Our team culture as well structural factors (literal P&L and promotion/perf decisions) is highly determined by home city.

Hi! This is not 100% salary-related, but your feedback would be helpful. I was contacted by a recruiter from Pyramid Consulting Inc for a HRG position, although the agreement to represent and job posting both say HRBP2. I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience working as a contractor with Pyramid. A few hours after they contacted me, I received a communication from a very similar company, Akraya, Inc., for the same exact position. I just want to make sure Pyramid is a reputable company.

I remember when I first started working on my thesis project. My adviser asked me to get some funding for it, but he didn't give me any advice about how to do that. He just told me that if I wanted money for my project, I'd have to go through some kind of committee process and submit an application for funding from them. Sure enough, after weeks of writing applications and waiting around for responses from the committee members (who were always too busy), I eventually got approved for funding!
