God bless leaders who let you leave the client a day early to beat the hurricane related flight switching madness. You da real champs

Hi Folks,
Having 3YoE in procurement research and now in a research team at an MBB, I feel I've reached plateau learning-wise. Have been focused in Chemical domain throughout.

I now intend to explore roles on client(Chemical Companies) side (like SCM, Planning, Strategy) but unsure how do I go about it.

What should be an ideal career roadmap for someone like me. How should I prepare/do in order to pivot towards those roles?

PS. I'm a BE Chemical Engineering, and no MBA.

TIA!

Hi!! Are there any admins where who work on a trading floor? Im interviewing for an administrative role on a trading floor in Manhattan. Looking for tips on what to wear - is it pretty similar to a “hedge fund dress code?”

I’m a national buyer (linear tv and digital video). I’d like to move client side or to a consulting firm (because it seems most clients use consultants to manage buying rather than doing it in-house). In terms of going client side - I’m finding most clients want people with digital or Ad Opps experience, and my video expertise is obsolete. Anyone know of clients that look for video expertise? In terms of consulting - which companies have people liked working with regarding buying matters?

Hi everyone,

I’m in a pit of a pickle…I’m leading my very first project (case study) with a team of 5. We’re all in different countries and different time zones 😬

What do I need to include on the project plan/roadmap so there’s a clear understanding of what our goals are? How do I get everything to align for success and how do I keep everyone motivated?

At work do you ever describe who you’re dating without using gender specific pronouns just to avoid finding out if a co-worker is going to act weird about it? Lol

Hi Sharks,
I am working with FIS at 26 LPA with permanent work from home project and having 11 yeo.

Recently I got an offer from TCS with 31 LPA for Delhi location. I am doubtful about joining since it's just 20% hike to my current ctc. Also I have heard that TCS is ending WFH soon so I need to relocate with my whole family and kids and need to bear expenses in Delhi.

Should I take this opportunity or not kindly suggest.

Can anyone refer me for an HR job internally in Accenture?? Looking forward for suggestions.

Salaam fam - as everyone makes dua these last few days, would love if y’all could spare a few extra duas for me as well ❤️

If you can fast tomorrow, fast to expiate sins from the past year and the year to come — and dropping this reminder here by the prophet pbuh:

“The best invocation on the Day of Arafah is the best that I and the Prophets before me recited: ‘La ilaha ill Allahu, wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahu'l-mulku wa lahu'l-hamdu, wa Huwa ala kulli shay'in Qadir.’”

I'm currently working in Architecture working on transitioning into UX Design. I took a UX class through UCLA Extension for a quarter and so far (from a fairly objective view) I'm ahead of the game than the rest of my peers since I already have a lot of transferrable skills like software & design skills. I'm planning to take one more quarter of class. Will that be enough to put together a portfolio along with architecture pieces?

Anyone here familiar with the hiring process of KPMG consulting in Van? Had a partner interview on Nov 21, thought the feedback was positive but haven't heard back yet (no rejection/offer). Is it something normal or the interview just didn't go as well as I thought?

It's an experienced hire for an SC role. I saw the posting is still open atm, and my guess is that the recruiting team is comparing candidates since competition is higher due to recent layoffs.

Thanks in advance!

I have been disappointed and disengaged with my work for more than a year now. I tried a few projects to see if there are interesting projects but doesn’t seem like I’m a good fit for my practice. Transferring within EY seems Herculean and so I’m looking to switch. Never done this outside of campus placements, how do I even get started?? I do seem to know the kind of roles I’m interested in generally

In my career (3 YOE) I’ve always worked in the Financial Services industry but have always had a passion for Life Science and Health Care and want to work in those industries instead. I’ve heard from multiple people at the PPMD level that this is a common situation and many people want to switch between those industries. Is this true? Are there other industries that people like to switch between? Why do you think this is?

Hey guys, looking for some advice. Finished my undergrad this past April from a top Canadian B-school (GPA: 82%) and now working at a boutique consulting shop as an Associate.

Looking to get my MBA from a T7 school and either pursue a career in VC or strategy at one of the big Tech firm. Whats your advice for me to achieve those goals.

My background is in compliance, and I transitioned to controls, which is much better. Since I love visuals and photography (and have a skill for it), I’m going to start exploring UI/UX learning opportunities to continue building my career path where I want to. My group seems to be open to this. I know it’s not really related to risk, but we have a UX team. Perhaps a path to shoot for?

Is 2 YOE in consulting plus 2 YOE at a startup a good enough background to enter VC?
