Got offered a job on a prestige project with big names, likely award buzz, could really elevate my résumé. But the rate? $17.50/hour, non-union, no OT. They pitched it like it was an “opportunity” I’d be crazy to pass up. Would you take the pay cut for the credit and connections? Or is this just another dressed-up version of “do it for the reel”?

It depends on your goals — sometimes a credit like that can open doors. But weigh the toll it’ll take mentally and financially. If it’s a short run and you’ve got backup income, maybe… but don’t forget your worth.

Totally agree with Production Assistant. I think you need to weigh it up and see what it could bring for you but that is tricky sometimes. I find a good old fashioned pros and cons list on paper is a good way to start.

Hi
Can anyone tell me if there is any opening at PwC for Angular developers / Salesforce Developer fresher?

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.

Within my first year of Consulting, really struggling with the hours amongst other things. Spoken to a couple of people internally and the advice is to get on to projects with bigger budgets and therefore bigger teams/more support. I want to wait until I hit the one year mark before making a decision on whether Consulting is for me or not. Curious to hear from other experienced hires..how is/was your first year?

Currently a Wealth Advisor for Citi but I honestly hate it here with a passion it’s the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life and I’ve been in Wealth Management in the banking channel for over a decade. Series 7, Series 63, Life, CFP, ChFC, and soon to have my MBA with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions. I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

I have a MHA, MBA, and BSHA. I’m wanting to get into a supervisor or manger role but I don’t have the experience. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I dive in and start getting the experience I need? I live in Washington and work in Oregon. Also, anything using my MBA would be favored as well, this degree is not healthcare specific. Thank you!
