For those who have transitioned to a new firm at the Senior Manager or Director level to start or build out a new line of business or practice area:

* What advice would you offer based on your experience?
* Would you recommend this as a strategic career move, particularly for an expert in the field but is still in the early stages of building their own book of business?
* How much leeway do firms typically give new hires to build both team capacity and a client pipeline simultaneously?

How do you feed your cats with wet food when you’re away for a whole week? Do they stay with other people? I’m looking for an automatic wet food dispenser that can keep the food refrigerated and I’m not sure there are any real product out there. Found a bunch of ice pack machines. Help!

In the beginning of my career I absconded 1 company who had 3 years bond and I worked there for 5 months. My pf account is created for that company and it has been closed with reason cessation (short service). After that I worked in 1 company for 6 years and since January I'm working in TCS. Should I mention my first company experience. So far I'm not mentioning it anywhere.
Please help me out with this

Hii Fishes,
I got offered from Societe Generale GSC and Pwc SDC, can anyone help me to choose a better option among these in terms of better work life balance and job security? CTC is kind of same in both Org. I appreciate help on these.

For those of you who made your first million in net worth, what did you do next?

Working as a Senior Accountant at Vanguard with my CPA; 3 YOE, Greater Philadelphia area. Took this job to give accounting one more try and while I don’t regret it I’m bored. Anything in finance more challenging/less box-checking? People have recommended public but I’m not interested in audit/tax or travel.

Recently received an offer from Ogletree to do only class action work. It'll be a big change for me, I'll be starting as a fourth year. Double my current salary, etc.

What will this be like? It's more of a niche, but lucrative, part of their practice, right? Will I really get good WLB like they claim? I have a nice 40 hour a week job right now, no billables.

Does anyone work at at Merrill Lynch as a Life services relationship consultant? Any info on the pay?

Any role recommendations for exiting B4 workday financials tech consulting? I have 2 YOE, non MBA masters, would prefer to not do as much client facing work. All suggestions are welcomed.

I feel like my insurance company bait and switched me. For initial prescription and subsequent refill was $0. Went to pick up today and was going to be $500. Glad there’s alternatives but who would pay $500 for a month’s worth of pills.

There is an opportunity in another office to build out their business in a large industry that I identified. The office has very little client base within the industry. The partners do not have experience in the industry and there are no senior managers or managing directors in that office. As a SM4, how do I go about asking to build out that business with the hope that it’ll build a strong case and accelerate my path to partner?

Partners, what were some life changes that making partner brought about. Thinking mostly in terms of pay increase, additional security of retirement...but interested in other impacts to your lifestyle

For the Partners and really anyone in a leadership position: how do you motivate your people to take initiative? i.e. inferring next steps and taking action without waiting to be explicitly told to

Who has started business travel? How many trips have you made post lockdown?

Partners: where do your clients come from? Do you spend more time acquiring new clients or using your network from past projects/peers?

Does the concept of local and high value role exist is Deloitte, Accenture or PWC?... been consulting for 13 yrs

For KPMG PPMD, how long did you spend at the director level before making it to MD? How long at MD to Partner?

Hi Fishes,
A friend of mine is trying to return to work after 2 yrs of break. She is a CA with over 7 yrs of experience in Investment Banking and Debt syndication and is looking for opportunities in Bangalore.. Any leads would be helpful.
Thanks

For the partners/mds/directors etc how are you protecting your money with the new administration? I’m assuming Biden’s plan will help the lower class but for the upper class I’m sure there have been strategies your advisors have been telling you. I currently have 20k in savings and feel like it’s just getting inflated away.

Joined EY 6months back as a tech consultant. My feedback so far has been great. What should I do to get the company sponsor my mba? I haven’t initiated the talk yet

Partners/Principals - how do you focus and continue to work at the same rigor, if you have made your numbers or 75% of your numbers? Do you take it easy or continue to grind/ work long hours as usual?

Looking for advice in context of being a EY SM that will be part of NewCo if it goes through. Would I be better off shooting for MD this year vs waiting 2-3 years for Partner?

Just heard FY23 partners at PwC are getting only 40 shares vs.60 last year. Looks like new partners are being shown the middle finger by Tim Ryan in favor of increasing stock price and getting more catalyst hires. Sucks!!

Partners, what's been the impact to ongoing sales conversations? Do you think we're all screwed for the year?

Would you say being a partner is more demanding than being an industry exec?

Partners with kids and a working spouse, how do you manage? Is it realistic for both people in the relationship to work full time long term? How do you keep marriage going and career progressing?

How early in someone’s career do you generally identify if a homegrown person is partner material or not? M and up or earlier?

how does one make sure the client does not send out an RFP ? I am assuming once u build the level of trust with the client you make it all single sourced and keep the competition out.

Hiya! I was wondering if anyone here has any good recommendations in terms of books or learning material that I can pick up to learn about sales and marketing relevant to the consulting industry?
