Director at KPMG 190k base. Annual bonus is basically all politics so can get anywhere from zero to 15k any year no matter my performance which is extremely frustrating. Prob 2 years to MD but not sure if I wanna go all the way to partner (the constant travel away from family seems rough). Have an exit offer to healthcare industry director level for $232k but they do not do bonuses. Benefits roughly the same and the new position is 100% remote. Is this a no brainer?

Would like to add scarves to my wardrobe, any recommendations for a male 🐟 ?

When your boss gives you 48 hours (clock hours not billable hours) to produce a viable objection to a MTD/compel arbitration in a complex commercial lit case, which is not my practice area, what kind of result is he expecting? From scratch, no template.

Has anyone been to concert held at the Sofi Stadium? Wondering if the top is open during the concert. Looked around few videos on YouTube and seems like it's closed.

New to the area, anyone in this group into hunting?

I was given a tentative offer for a job at a government hospital. The salary they are offering is lower than what I'm making now. For government jobs with a defined GS level salary on the job posting, do they have a wiggle room for salary negotiations?

Any opinions on Slate vs Wiredrive vs Simian? We've used WD for a long time (we're a prod co), but the reel presentation and analytics just haven't improved in ages. Any opinions from production who've used the other two, or agencies folks on if it matters to you how the reel layout looks?

What are some examples where you feel included at your organization?

I’m interviewing for a newly created position, Assistant Director of Communications & Outreach in my organization’s DEI office. This is the first interview they have requested after reviewing my writing sample. They didn’t say who specifically I would be interviewing with, but said “members of the DEI staff”, and it will be virtual.

What types of questions outside of my marketing/communications background should I expect?

Hi - I am a career pivot from higher education into tech and have final round interviews for a DEI Coordinator role (which I'm super excited for). I am meeting with three people that I would be partnering with for the job and it was shared with me that these interviews will mainly be behavioral as well as questions on my technical skills. Does anyone have any resources to help me prepare for this? Anything is greatly appreciated!

A bunch of acquaintances / friends of friends have been so kind with helping me think through next steps and even do interview prep. 1/ is it appropriate to send a small item? 2/ if so what are appropriate ideas outside a thank you note eg chocolates, gift card? Want to show genuine appreciation but also mindful to make sure it’s not overkill

Ah so satisfying to back out of an interview process and just tell the recruiter you are withdrawing application with no reason/explanation

3 YOE in M&A consulting. Interested in education consulting for high school and higher ed. No idea if this is a feasible path.

Any firms I should look at? NYC based.

Also - is the salary for these types of jobs significantly less than management consulting?

What do I need to include on my LinkedIn for recruiters to reach out to me?

What’s a reasonable comp to expect for a Product Manager role after 4 years of consulting experience? Seeing a lot of PM roles below 150K- worth taking the comp hit for the title?

I heard rumours Skip Williamson (founder of Partners in Performance) is the world’s richest consultant because she holds all the equity in her firm - making somewhere north of $30M. Is this true?

Is chasing promotion is a losing game? Is it better to get the experience I need for the exit instead of just killing myself doing everything the firm wants me to do so they can consider promoting me?

How are you able to make time for interviews when working in a demanding consulting project?

Do you have to give two weeks notice that you're leaving? Don't want to burn bridges, but I'm ready to go now haha.

How long does it normally take after recruiter screen to move to first round at Google? Seems weird that it’s been a week and no word ? Does that mean a ding? Felt it went well , was fairly simple. 🙄

I’m at a late-stage startup right now and helping optimize their recruiting process. I’d love to hear your raw thoughts - what did you like/dislike at Series C-E startups where you’ve interviewed? Do you expect a live case / take-home case? What’s reasonable? Anything else?

I am looking to hire an individual contributor with Supply Chain and BI experience (SQL, Alteryx, Tableau, etc). The role is to support

Has anyone looked in exiting to brand strategy, advertising, or marketing? Not seeing lot of consulting alums in these fields but very interested in the work.

Has anyone jumped from a B4 SM/Dir role to a young technology startup ? Can you please give insight about the experience (role, comp, wlb, culture)? Thanks!

I hear Grant Thornton has been doing more layoffs? We need staff (associates, seniors, managers) in forensics / disputes and investigations in SF if anyone is looking to make a move! Message me

How comfortable/confident do you feel in the job descriptions you’re applying for? Something like partnerships/sales operations/etc where you might have complementary skills from consulting but not direct experience in that role? Feel like nothing fits my experiences perfectly

What would be examples of cushy industry jobs with good wlb with 200-300k pay check in finance industry? My work is mostly FS so it seems to make sense that I exit in that direction, but I keep hearing that finance in general is less chill than normal corporate sector jobs. Or is that just for IB/PE/HF?

I would gladly take a head of local bank branch or something as the culmination of my career but I fear that dream is too 1950s

What has been your most stress free role throughout your career and why?

FAANG product manager or stay at MBB (EM about 9mo away from AP; 8YOE w/ MBA)?

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented. I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?
