Generalist in supply chain. Have a year in industry, and just under 3 years in consulting. Disappointed that I haven't really found what I enjoy and that I am not known as an SME in any specific area.

I'm ready to leave consulting, but every company I interview with either notifies me that I lack technical experience or not enough expertise. (Tried applying for SC and business analyst roles.)

Would love to pivot into product management work. Any advice on how to prepare myself?

I have 23.5 in hand so I asked for 26 which she said out of budget. Then I asked 23.5 fixed atleast. Contd… in comments

Boutique I have been eyeing has billable hour requirement of 1500-1600 and comes with a 20-25% paycut. Is this a stupid idea and should I grind it out until I can move in house? Will this ruin my opportunities down the road?

Attended multiple first rounds for mphasis(full time - Texas location). But still I didn’t hear any feedbacks from any of the interview panels/consultancy companies. Seems like they are conducting interviews for name sake and letting us to get wait for the results (for more than a month)
Seriously! positions are available? or I don’t know what’s happening around me. It’s frustrating!

Struggling to find an exit opportunity in Singapore. Been looking for over a year now and the only ones who have shown interest are other consulting firms (looking for an industry exit) (contd..)

I cleared all my rounds of interview in JPMC, had salary discussion with HR 2 weeks back. After which i was asked to apply the job on candidate portal and submit additional information.

Its almost 2 weeks and i haven't heard back anything from them. My status in portal shows "You are moving to the final steps in the process". This status has not changed since last 2 weeks.

Can i expect the offer letter to be released? If yes when?
