Seriously? I used to work in the much slower nonprofit world. This attitude wouldn't fly there, either.

All you guys saying consulting is not a 9-5, that is your choice. It's very possible to have reasonable hours in consulting. I've been doing it for years and been performing well.

If you value work life balance, why are you in consulting?

@p1, the points gainz

Lol @OP. You have just been lucky then. If you're holding an important enough position anywhere 9-5 doesn't work. Period

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM. I come from a Big4 consulting firm with a background in Enterprise Performance. I’ll be honest and say I’m not feeling very safe in my current role with the ongoing layoffs. Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.
