For questions as to why you are looking to leave your current firm.. I am looking to move because for some reason I am hand-held a lot and given simpler tasks, so I am getting bored and want more challenging / much more fast paced environment. Also kind of bored because I am on one project for a long time and I want exposure to variety of projects. Is this a fair answer or would I be seen as arrogant? Is there a better way to frame my answer?

Is there a recent need for functional programming? I've received several job inquiries looking for that skill. Is it hard to master?

Hello ,

My experience is 1.2 years and I am being offered to move to Oslo,Norway to work from the onsite location.
Is it a good choice to move to Norway? What benefits does a person get when they move to an onsite location ?
Please suggest whether it is a good option to choose an onsite project or stay in India, and switch after some time?

I think auditors that work on public engagements should get paid more than auditors that do not. What are your thoughts?

Not a CFP so I’m not truly in the know. That said, if I’m reading this article right, 10/2019 to maintain your CFP, you will have to drop your 7 license if you are dually registered?

Are other big4 firms getting mid year raises right now?

Interviewing for analytics role at Uber. Would be interested in salary comparable as. Titles are a bit weird.

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

So how bad is this in terms of job security? What are the parameters they monitor during this period?

Florida associates (3-6 years experience) at regional decent size firms (or I guess really any firm), what is your hourly rate and salary? Thinking ahead about asking for a raise this year, and wondering if I’m limited at my firm bc our rates are seemingly low.

28 / F / LA / 73k / Im underpaid, huh

Any tips on how to be taken seriously when asking for a higher salary? Looking for compelling presentation tactics you’d use for going into a meeting to discuss it.

There was interest on another thread to get folks in Dallas networking and connected post COVID. I setup a WhatsApp group if you’re interested in connecting. See thread

Any POC M&A midlevels here actually feel you are treated fairly? What firm? Have been at 2 firms and have lost hope any M&A groups exist that grant us the same grace and opportunities as others :/

Who has bad law April Fool's jokes?

Sounds like RFEs are drastically up lately. However, are corresponding rejections similarly up as well? Or are most RFEs being resolved?

Hi all, my H1B got approved today and I am waiting on the actual physical notice. In parallel I have a L2 EAD extension request in process. My H1B is valid from oct 1 only. Can I withdraw my L2 tomorrow? Is it okie if I am out of status for nine days? I am worried that the L2 will get approved. If it does get approved, what do I do?

Can I have two separate employers file for h1b and only join the one I get picked at?

Remember, its okay to not be okay.
Take time off and do what you enjoy.

PWC SA2 got an offer for 34LPA fixed.
Currently at DUSI at 24 LPA.
Worth the jump?

Made the pivot from Big 4 to Bain and frankly underwhelmed. Seems like Bains Ops capabilities / general knowledge resources / white papers are lagging the industry quite a bit. Miles behind BCG / McKinsey as well. Literally only good for PE and nothing else.

When I get mild anxiety during a conversation I press my thumb agains one of my other fingers and it helps me relax a bit. Does anybody else do this? 😭

Going through the apartment hunt. What're your best sources/websites for (maybe for Cambridge/Watertown or quincy areas)?
Have only ever used craigslist in the past.

Parents- how much are you saving for your kids? Married mid 30s and family income is around 200k. We both max employer 401k. Have around 30k debt. Lcol and low mortgage. Would you pay off debt- or focus on kids savings? Oldest kid is 7 years out from college and will have some VA benefits.

Just scored 700 on my GMAT and I feel like a bag of crap. For reference, I put in 300+hrs into my studying, which is overkill but the course I signed up for took this long.

I wanted to use this to strengthen my app to BCG as an experienced hire and possibly for an MBA in the future.

For the MBA programs I'm looking at this score is fine but is this a score that can help my BCG app in a MCOL Canadian city?

I was recently hired by my dream agency. I get creative freedom, flexible hours, and I can work from home if I feel like it. Always keep looking for better opportunities, you never know when one might show up!

I like working remotely but I'm starting to be concerned that am a little isolated. I'm 100% remote and I live alone. I'm not the biggest people person but this much alone time probably isn't healthy. Does anyone else every feel like this?

Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with Clyde and Co’s California offices?

Opinions on career clerkships? Especially with a two year old and wanting another child eventually.

Everyone on my team is beyond exhausted on a high burn project. Generally all good people but we have ridiculous turnaround time expectations and long hours. What to do?

How do you guys deal with that one person in the office who just makes very bad jokes that make you look bad, in front of the team? How do you get ahead of them? Tired, sad, annoyed, fed-up, etc.

Retirement: what are some ways you’re preparing besides having a 401K?

Thoughts on Ketchum CEO /agency culture.

Mad Men came out 10 yrs ago when I first started in this industry as a wide eyed acct coordinator. Planning on rewatching from the start for a new perspective. Where were you in your career back then?

Global spending on advertising in 2017: $590,000,000,000.

Where is the industry going?

In 10 years, how will the traditional shops be doing vs. the consultancy’s vs. the in-house agencies vs. the PR firms vs. prod co’s vs. all the small specialized shops.

I was ghosted by a recruiter for the first time AMA 😩

Just me and SVP’s left in meeting. They’re talking about the planner’s outfit. It’s “whorish.” I’m silent. One notices. “You can’t say anything because you’re a guy,” she laughs. I leave.

Would you ever put Young Lions ads you made that you’re proud of, even if they didn’t make the top 3? Or is it pointless?

Which agency has the best analytics department in your opinion?

I just got into reading books, any suggestions to start with? Which could help to increase media/marketing knowledge.

I’m considering applying for a position at Anchor in their creative department but I’m worried that they are too new to the industry. Does anyone have any input into the company and their growth?

Alright, what's the story behind the peloton ad trainwreck?
