Do consultants 🧳have a good platform to
1) showcase their portfolio of work beyond bullets on resume and LinkedIn
2) get inspired by work of other comsultants?

Is there a need? Would you be interested in trying out such a platform?

If you have some ideas, feedback on some key characteristics of a good platform for that please post here.

Nah it's pointless because most consulting work is classified and cannot be shared publicly

You could have competitions for fictional companies but we already have case competitions. The problem is that coding, analytics etc. are hard skills and have specific tangible outcomes, the opposite is true for consulting

Aren’t consultants just there so a c-suite executive can avoid liability for making a decision? “It was McKinsey, not me!” That and talking about how many rewards points they have.

Given the variety of work consultants do I think it'd be hard to create a generic platform for it - what would people upload? Confidential excel models and decks? PMO project plans? Not seeing it personally

Is variety a bigger blocker or confidentiality a bigger blocker?

Slideshare. /s

That's because all those jobs are hard skills based whereas consulting is soft skills. Doesn't translate very well

Got it, makes sense!

Wouldn’t all of the work be proprietary?

Isn’t an engineer’s code in a company confidential as well? But they still maintain a portfolio of public work on github

Welp. Had an interview scheduled for this morning for 30 mins. I join the webex & nothing. I email the recruiter after 15 mins and get a response saying the interviewer had something come up and would like to reschedule. Is it dramatic of me to be bothered by the fact they didn’t even apologize? Meanwhile, I have another interview for a different company Monday & the recruiter reached out today asking if I had any questions or do a zoom test run.

Hi everyone,
My company had name change recently from ABC to XYZ , this was after my h1b approval. Since this was merely a name change the attorneys confirmed that no amendment is required. All my documents (i-797a, LCA,i-129) has old name - ABC but my employee verification has new name - mentioning XYC (formerly known as ABC)
My question is - which company name should be on DS-160
