McKinsey & Company Good morning, Fishbowl! I was wondering if anyone at McKinsey & Company would be willing to chat about a potential referral to the Defense and Security team. There is a role open for a Specialist and I’m curious about shifting from Deloitte.

My experience in the Federal space has focused on space clients delivering a blend of analytics, program management, and cyber services. From researching the leaders in Denver and seeing a focus on space, I’m highly interested in learning more.

Hi fishers,

I'm a Programmer Analyst with over 2.10 years of experience in SAS and SQL.
My preferred location is Chennai/Bangalore.
Currently I'm looking for a job switch and it's kind of urgent.
I'm serving notice period.
Can someone please refer me in any of the companies if there are any openings for SAS and SQL.

Thanks in advance..

Hi all! Accenture Federal is doing a big hiring push right now. If anyone in the federal space is recently unemployed, I’d be happy to submit a referral for you.

Looking to get into SaaS sales but my experience is in construction and fine furniture (I was a sales manager and was able to lead my team of 4 people to consistently hit 450k monthly targets). I did that for almost 2 years before making the switch. I miss sales, though. Does anyone have any connections to companies looking? I have also considered a sales analyst role considering that I am moderately versed in Salesforce and have worked both the customer facing and sales generating side. TIA!

Hi Fishes,
Could you please shed some light on Manager(M3) role in L&T insurance domain.
Appreciate your review

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

Hey All, I am new to this bowl. I am interviewing for Client Consulting Analyst position for the NYC office. Can anyone kindly guide me what to expect in the interview rounds?

I trained on .net and then after I supported .net application. After 3 years I got to work on ssrs reports. We build reports from scratch in ssrs, then I worked on qlik view application. Attended training on qlik sense. My question is for which openings/certificate I have to look .net (I have only support knowledge) or reporting tools like ssrs, qlik view ? I am struggling to choose with the way to upgrade myself.

Anyone know what kind of experience or certifications I should be aiming to get if I'm trying to break into a pentest role? I just graduated last year and have about a year of sysadmin experience and am trying to get into it asap. So, I'm already applying/job hunting and probably won't get much replies but. Should I be looking at more security analyst/admin roles first? Going for certs? Getting a masters? Wondering what I can do to improve my chances. TIA

I think something is wrong with the way I wrote my resume. Get dinged without an interview for a few roles (S&O, biz ops, nothing crazy) but when I send my resume directly to hiring managers I now have two final rounds scheduled? HYP undergrad, H/S MBA, McK Sr EM, previous tech experience 😑

I don't follow pop. culture anymore, no longer actively follow team sports (but sporty myself) as I consider it bread and circus for the masses and don't rly enjoy work drinks... Am I doomed? Personally I am happy and love the work but fear for my career progression.

EY does your HR act as if they are getting approvals when the hiring manager gave me hint that I’m a candidate already approved? It’s been like 2 weeks and the HR is very poor in response. Now I’m like will I even be approved? I don’t know why the HR is so slow.

Currently at Big 4. Have offers for a PL/Principal at MBB and for a VP role at a Fortune 20 company. The VP role is more interesting and comp a bit better but I’m told would accelerate faster at MBB. The initial plan was to end up at MBB. What’s the best for future flexibility?
