Counseling welcomed...If you were a manager today (within the current climate) who is on track for SM promotion this year, would you be less aggressive in pushing promotion candidacy? Why or why not?

My job of 25 yrs in property management with retail and apartments abruptly came to an end without warning because the trustees voted to end and sell off real estate and retire. I find myself reevaluating my work life. Being out if the job search market for so long I’m struggling to figure out where to go from here. I’m in Denver, my love has been travel to Europe. Would love to turn my love for travel into a career that requires travel to Europe. Anyone have any ideas if such a career exists?

I wanna move away from sales. Any suggestions on easy roles to transition into?

I am project manager in clinical research industry (CRO). After earning PhD, I gave up my science dream to take a more stable job. After slowly climbing the ladders, I feel like I finally got a seat at the table. Half the days I like the hustle, but now I miss being creative. I want to take more brainstorming, decision making responsibilities but I don’t see that in the career path for PM. Career path usually goes like this- Sr PM, Director l, Sr Director, and so on. But all do same work.

I am just curious if anyone is considering switching career from tax/accounting to healthcare for better pay and WLB?

What are your thoughts? Pros and Cons you found so far? Been thinking about it the past 2 years and now seriously considering it.

I would like to hear from any UX Program Managers who are willing to share their experience.

How difficult is it to juggle a remote role with a hybrid role?

My current role is hybrid with at least two days a week in office. However, with the potential economic downturn, I'm considering holding on to the role to supplement my income.

I'm new to the overemployed movement, so I'm evaluating the feasibility of holding onto the hybrid role and the remote position.

Currently in ibanking as an associate and want to see if I can make the move to PE. Is the CAIA viewed favorably at all?

Desi Fam,

I suffer from depression and anxiety. Been facing it through past year now. Have tried all natural methods but no success. Also pandemic hasn’t made it easier as well.

Lot of pressure from family to get married but with my state of mind, not so much inclined. (M29).

Family thinks it good to move back to india and try afresh but the prospect of not been able to get good salary job/ and sabotaging a career that I made gives me more anxiety.

What was your dream job when you were a kid/teenager?

AWS engagement managers. What is your day to day like? WLB? Salary? Technical experience? Interview process?

Any info helps! Thank you.

What are exit ops for CPAs in audit. Do you have a to work in the accounting department in industry? Is that primarily what you’d be doing - accounting? Lol

Advice needed: meeting with someone who recruited at my bank during her mba program. She is now graduated and i dont think she even had an ibd internship, and wants to chat about career advice.

It seems like most DevOps jobs and gigs are related to AWS, GCP, or Azure. Is there a realistic career path in the enterprise space moving forward for other tools, or rolling your own w/open source?

Anyone find a consulting exit that pays well, has more ownership, is marginally better on WLB, and does not hurt career progression speed?

Hi fishes,
Need some career advice.
I have 4years of experience in the field of content moderation and management. I worked with Genpact at 3.5lpa last drawn for 2.10years and recently joined Accenture on September,2021 for 5lpa(been three and a half months).
Not happy with the package and level after getting to know the inside details. I aspire to become a team lead by end of 2022 and Accenture doesn't have that ace of promotion. What do I do and which company do i try for at what time?

I was offered a large raise/promotion at my current company (Series A Funded, been here since seed round). I have the option to do stock or cash or a combo. Anyone have an idea on what to do for something like this? We have good funding and are considered a first mover in our vertical. It's SaaS but we are having issues figuring out our business model and product. We have a lot of F100 customers though. any suggestions?

Hi, what is the hire and fire policy in BAContinuum. Are they laying off people or did in the past?

If any seniors or managers are looking for referrals to CohnReznick tax or audit, please DM me. Great firm all in all; positions are fully remote to the extent you want, great PTO and work life balance compared to big 4 from my experience, and the firm will also reimburse your advanced degree 100% (JD, MBA, Masters), which is a very valuable perk. DM me to find out more!

Today i visited to 2 branches of ICICI Bank in my hometown, and told them I would like to inquire about Food card/Meal Card. And response was "What??" What is that ICICI doesn't have food card or Meal Card. You can apply for credit card we have lounge facilities etc, or you can open demat account. I was like I have most of the facilities provided by icici but I want food card not credit card or demat account. And the most frustrating part is that they didn't even asked from someone else.

Thoughts on DDB Chicago and their accounts?

Confirmed! Promotion from Specialist to Manager. Any thoughts on what to expect for raise?

Can you negotiate a higher salary at a top consulting firm straight out of undergrad?

Hi all, looking for some career advice: applied to a consulting firm on Feb’22. Got great feedback but didn’t get selected. I had some conversations with a partner she told me “you were great, we are just small right now”.

A couple weeks back they’ve opened their process again, I reached out to HR and I am interviewing. Question is: would you reach out to the partner? What would you say? I don’t know if I should message an FYI or something so that she knows I’m still interested. Pls help!!

Heard there is an insane (ongoing) creative exodus at DDB Chicago from when Britt Nolan bolted back to Burnett. In other words, hiring. Assuming they still have Skittles, Starburst, Miller Coors, Army, some State Farm and McDonald’s…

Hi All,

Partners - currently I’m struggling to get recognized by the leadership. The role I’m in does not offer visibility to SMs/directors and partners. What are some of the things I can do get visibility?

I am 40 this year and just made director. Was in industry for 8 years, post MBA but never joined strategy, a mistake for the short run In hindsight. Need advice on if it’s too old to make EP at some point. I am in Canada so it’s a longer path. Am I too old? Also - how do I skip income partner, seems most companies are pushing most folks to go through IP to goto EP. Real advice and thoughts would be welcome.

Partners,

1. What does your day in the life look like?
2. Are you tied (sales credits) towards specific service line or are your sales quota service line agnostic?
<continued>

Did you take a few years off when you had children? Did it mess up your career trajectory? Or your wife's?
Pregnant with my 1st, and a very career oriented gal, but will have no family nearby ever. With Biden's new tax policies my salary is what puts us over the $400k line, as Hubby's is the better job with better benefits and stuff. Wondering if I should just stay home for a bit, enjoy my baby and my tax incentives for the next few years. I will someday soon try for a 2nd baby as well.

Deloitte PMDs, would you say the SM level was the worst and if so, how did you slog through it?

Partners - what is your view on partner career track vs c-suite career track? Can you share your pros /cons?

Thanks

Looking for advice. I am very close to making partner at a national firm (next year), but recently was approached with a SVP role at a private company in my industry. The comp is much higher than what I am making now, and will be comparable for the first few years as partner. I’m very torn because I can see myself doing well in both paths, and there are pros and cons to both. Continued…

Do clients ask for fixed price or T&M contracts or do you as PPD negotiate them into one or the other ?

Wife and kid are going to be out of town for the next 2 weeks. Instead of wasting time, I’d like to do something productive. What would you do if you have say 3+ hours a day. Maybe self help, wealth creation type books, work out daily, take care of some things around the house.

Anyone rise to Partner despite major set backs earlier on their career (e.g., fired, laid off, mental illness, physical health problems)? Would like stories as a reminder that you guys are human.

Recent Associate Partner promotion at a boutique firm and I am wondering what comp is everyone getting Y1. I am also currently building out my own line of business for the organization.

Just heard FY23 partners at PwC are getting only 40 shares vs.60 last year. Looks like new partners are being shown the middle finger by Tim Ryan in favor of increasing stock price and getting more catalyst hires. Sucks!!

How did you go about getting on boards ?

Spend so much time managing people’s feelings and mood to get work or get work done. So exhausting, I am ok with machines replacing us all.

What level is a Senior Executive at Deloitte?

Looking for unbiased advice from Big 4 partners. As an experienced SM at EY in the pipeline for partner in two years, would I be better off jumping ship to another Big 4 now (delaying the promotion for at least a year or two in the process), targeting a direct admit role at a mid tier firm or staying put knowing I won’t make nearly as much as a MD in NewCo. I’ve talked to several partners and none of have been able to articulate how us heavy SMs aren’t getting screwed over.

Anyone else seeing more direct partner admits than partner promos in their practice recently??

What are partners hearing about the need to do furlough/layoffs? Heard of Deloitte and Accenture laid off/furloughs already within certain practice areas
