Enterprise sales folk, can you share your experiences? Often mentioned as one of the best/ highest paying consulting exists, keen to know what it’s like and titles (Account manager?) and any tips to move from tech consulting

Trying to get a 45 y/o sibling in to consulting (was an entrepreneur prior in the restaurant industry). No college degree but willing to bust his but to learn. Books/online courses recommended pls

Transitioning from line of business familiarity (understanding financial statements) to... real(?) Finance (bonds and cap markets and other debt sales) any advice on books or resources to learn really from step 0?

Is it expected that people who exit from MBB/Deloitte at post mba levels (PL/EM/M) take paycuts when going to industry? (non FAANG, PE). I'm In process at multiple internal consulting/strategy groups who say the paycut is part of the trade-off for less hours/no travel.

But as a female🐠, I can't discern whether this is just a negotiation tactic. Mentors have told me never take less pay.

For reference, this is at a comparable industry equivalent level (not clear up/down)

Company A - 100k base + 35k sign + higher bonus
Company B - 125k base + 10k sign + lower bonus

Company A is a good bit more superior in terms of exit opps and has better WLB and growth. I feel I’ll be happier at A. Thoughts?

How is the exit opportunity for big 4 tax compared to audit?

1st year/stub in Texas. I was a summer at my firm in both 2019-2020. Thought I preferred litigation, and told the firm that last summer. Had a change of heart, and in April of this year asked the CTO to switch to transactional. However, she said they didn’t have a need for another junior in transactional. Now I’m in lit and hate it. Can I ask to switch again? When would be the best time to do so? Or should/can I lateral as a 1st yr? I like my firm, just don’t want to start my career like this

Hello, I’m current a Cyber Security Incident Responder but I’m a little unclear on what path to take in terms of certs/career path. What should I aim for? I current have a CompTia Security + cert and Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin. I’d also prefer the blue team or purple team.

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.

I have no idea what a “dream job” is or what “I love my job!” looks like. Every job I’ve ever had, I have never loved, parts of it maybe, but the work a as a whole, never.

How do you know when something is for you?

What do you think about working for a defense and space contractor? I currently work at a large space contractor and it’s awful.

Sooooo bored with the work but love the money and am generally happy with the team/people I work with. Should I lateral or go in-house so I get a chance to work those management/stakeholder engagement muscles? Just don’t feel challenged anymore. Is another option to talk to the partners and ask for more interesting/higher quality work?

Anyone work on a Mac and use parallels when in need of excel? If so, does it work or is it a big no-no?

Would love to go back to working on a Mac but excel has stopped me from buying one…

Should I panic. I am in a new team and the boss is giving me the cold shoulder. I can also feel the animosity when I walk past.

Mind you I have been on the team for only 2 months but the vibes I get from her aren't good already
