Does anyone know of any firms sponsoring workday certifications for new hires?

Hi boys & girls!

Joined a big firm (Big4) not long a go and starting to feel like I got a good grip on my current work.

I've always been very technical, so I think that the only thing I am missing now is making sales. (I really wanna make partner)

Can any seasoned lawyer share tips and materials (i.e. books) which can help?

Would it be a good idea to join a Social Club where potential clients spend time? (gym/tennis/paddel/events)

Any advice welcome!

What are some perks of the Ritz?? I’m staying here for the next few weeks but I don’t get the hype

To those involved with business development and sales, how has your network helped you in achieving sales targets? And in this case network means your black people network.

Does anyone else here have a career in academia? Is the salary worth it?

With so much uncertainty in the economy and waves of layoffs that have hit tech especially hard... do we think there's really such a thing as a recession-proof job anymore if you're not an "essential worker"?

Been 2 weeks since the final interview...and nothing has happened yet, not even a reference check. Is it a bad sign? Bay Area

Hey guys,
I’m currently a quality control analyst in the biopharma/gene therapy field making 72k base in the Houston area. I’ve been working here for 2 years and my company is well established and the job is easy, but I honestly just want higher pay. I see companies (smaller and larger) that potentially can give me that but would it be worth it? I’m having a hard time finding out what opportunities/paths I can take and what amount of $ would be worth moving jobs for. Any insight is appreciated!

Does the 114060 Sub Oyster bracelet fit on the 116500LN Daytona? Asking for a friend…

Does anyone know typical salaries for Functional Consultant and Senior Functional Consultant roles within CSG of Salesforce? Glassdoor does not have much info at all.

Question for those who have been in consulting longer than I am. I joined AP last year and love everything about the firm. WMP reached out to me earlier this year about their opening and I wondered if I should go ahead with the call. As you work and get more experienced, how did you handle these type of reach out all the time? Did you proceed with application/interview/introduction call? Did you say I’m happy where I am? Like I want to keep my option opened and getting paid what I’m worth...

My manager gave me feedback that I need to be more articulate overall and improve on my presentation skills. When I asked if he had any specific suggestions on ways to do this he didn’t have an answer. Any advice?

Anyone on here handle Excess Claims. I’m interested to see what the salary is , I handle any claim over a million dollars and monitor those that are less than a million and I know I am being underpaid

do you think you can fool a lie detector test?

Boss (around my age) is being weirdly competitive with me and leaving me off meetings. Chats about it not going anywhere and the situation is stressing me out. Taking tomorrow off to reset my perspective. What would you guys do in this situation?

My office chair stinks even though I wash it with carpet cleaner every few weeks. Fellow 24/7 WFH workers, how do you keep your office chair clean?

How much do you pay for rent in your city. I’ll start, DC $3,000 1-bed

Has absolutely nothing to do with consulting, but I’d like to ask a very personal question of some of the gentlemen fish on here... how did you approach your girlfriends parents to ask for their blessing to marry their daughter?

🐠 that kicked ass in a PMO role, question for you: any tips or micro habits that worked for you in terms of meeting firm & client expectations? Know its a loose term and is project specific but just want to know what skills I should hone.

After a year using my home office setup, especially the 27 inch monitor, how can I ever go back to the traveling life with tiny laptop screen? 😔

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

Just as I'm leaving from work to a planned roadtrip with friends this weekend, I get hit with an email from a partner requesting a draft of a deck by Sunday 5 pm. Wwyd? I'm still a new consultant btw

What is the value in professional certifications? ACCA, CFA, CIPD, etc.

1.8 YOE at Deloitte currently making 75k. I’ve been interested in Accenture, curious to know what I could expect and what role is equivalent there? Looking into GPS Analytics space.

Since we’ve all been working from home for months now, what’s the best office chair out that y’all are using for our long work from home hours? Looking to invest in a better one than my ~$150 one from Amazon.

Any Freemasons lurking around here!? Thinking about making a Bowl for my Traveling Brothers. Maybe to talk about how we view this unique Labor (consulting) in a Masonic context, post some inspirational messages, recommend good books, idk stuff like that...

Does EY have a consulting arm separate from advisory? And if not, is advisory like advisory at Deloitte, which feels like a practice halfway between audit and consulting?

Have my final interview (data project presentation) this week. Any advice on a data presentation is appreciated!!

Wooohoo just landed a data project! Woohoo data! Data runs the world! Hello super high utilization! Hello cushy bonus! 🙌🏽
