Currently making 160k in the government practice of a Big 4 with minimal stress and less than 20hrs of real work a week. Have the education and pedigree to likely make the jump to MBB or T2, but is is really worth it given the massive hit to my lifestyle and the stress of potentially being fired in rough times? Did those of you who made the jump find it worthwhile?

I am currently working in Accenture and have close to 11 years of experience in Service Desk, Continuous Improvement, Automation for Service management, Problem management. I am a big fan of SAP and its work culture. I have ITIL certification along with Azure Fundamentals. I am trying hard to get a job as a associate manager or manager role in SAP. I am currently handling a large team and i am a supervisor. Is there any way any one can advise or assist.

Is anyone part of the bizops team or has anyone interviewed with them? Interested in how similar the case interviews are to typical MBB cases?

Any actuarial consultants move into other insurance roles? What was the change and why did you make it?

I’m a recent graduate in a cyber analytics consulting role with a traditional business background, is Security+ a must have certification? Would you consider Network+ a critical prerequisite?

Anyone else here looking to make a switch into healthcare (physician, nurse, etc)?

I got out of my water drinking habit and finding it hard to build back up to 100oz + per day. I don’t like the fact I’ve added in drinks with fake sweeteners to get more fluid intake. What do you all drink to supplement water that is better than some artificially flavored and/or colored beverage? I feel nothing exists and I just need to get back to my water habit. Maybe any good water bottles that help you drink more?

I spent a year in tax investigations where I believe I was thriving ( I was going to be an assistant manager in July 2023), I had a lot of assistant manager jobs, I even drafted a Code 9 report to HMRC which my manager said was 80% of an actual report, he then added the 20% and submitted it.
After I realised I couldn't maintain all the unpaid overtime I was working I decided to take a turn and go to compliance, so now I work in CT compliance. I feel very surpressed.

How long do y’all like resume bullets to be? I know to keep them to 1-2 lines and to keep the resume to 1 page but I’m conflicted about how to balance details vs white space. I’m in product and see some resumes with bullets averaging 5-10 words that state “Manage roadmap for $200mm product” while others use ~20 words per bullet and highlight product info, process, or impact in a bit more detail.
