Current funds NYC midlevel (at band 1 firm, T14) looking to lateral but extremely busy with billables and I don’t have time to waste on interviews and cover letters. Can firms just give me written offers on my resume or LinkedIn profile alone?

lol wut. No firm is going to give you an offer without interviewing you.

I'm assuming you're at least half joking, but even so - Setting aside whether this is a thing (it's not), lateraling is just as much about doing your due diligence and being sure it's a good fit as it is getting hired. If you're not able to invest in the process, do not do it now. Otherwise you'll probably just be lateraling again in another year.

You still need to interview but a recruiter can make the process easier for you. I’m happy to give you an overview of which firms are looking if you DM me

Unserious. lol

It’s not “wasted” time if it’s a necessary step to get to your goal lol, likely more important than the work that your to-be ex firm is keeping you extremely busy with. Manage both and use a recruiter

First thing - you should dispel of the notion/attitude that interviews are a waste of your time, especially when they will be a necessary and very important element of whether or not you get hired by another firm. As a midlevel that should be insanely obvious

Tell your firm you’re burnt out and get temporary reduced hours? Why do you want to lateral?

Friendly tip from a former recruiter & HR PM.

Under no circumstances disclose how much you make or what you want to make.

Tell the recruiter,” I need to interview to learn more about the specific details of this opportunity before I’ll know how much I need to accept a potential offer…”

I discuss & other do’s and dont’s on IG.

Hello Fishes,

So far I received offers from PwC India, Capgemini and Lexmark for Data Engineering.

More are in pipeline from KPMG GS, TechM, Accenture.

But one peculiar thing is happening. I have appeared for 4 Cognizant interviews but in all I have been rejected. Whereas most of my friends had easily cleared Cognizant. I am switching tech, so I am a bit concerned like whether my knowledge is too shallow😐

Is it sign of an Imposter Syndrome 🥺

Pls help🙏🏾

I was hired on with a company at the same time as my male coworker. We work the exact position, different projects.
I asked him flat out what his salary was when he hired on. His salary is at minimum 15% more. He’s never had a raise.
Neither one of us had any experience in this specific position but he didn’t even have experience in the field, which I did.
I requested a performance and salary review because it’s my annual review time anyway. Best way to address this? Also applying elsewhere.

Would love to get your opinion on this-
I am planning on applying to business school this year in round 1 and round 2. I am in india working at D. I have received an offer to work with another big 4 in London as manager with their consulting team starting June. The role is definitely a step up in terms of responsibilities from my current role as a senior consultant. Do you think it might hamper my business school application changing jobs so close to round 1? Have been at D for 4 yrs
