I've seen Sia at a concert

uplifting

Yes, spoke to the recruiter for an initial screen and she appeared to be a deer stuck in headlights. She would ask a question and even if I wasn’t rambling/deviating and kept my responses concise, she yawned in my face at least 4 times during the virtual interview. You could also easily tell that she did not have deep expertise and then a few days later I received a rejection email.

I have thick skin and have been rejected several times in my life but this was an absolute joke. They have also been interviewing someone I know for a partner role and he had a similar experience where he didn’t find the initial face of the company to be very professional.

Thank you for the honest feedback and not a comment abt the singer. They contacted me for a MD role but their comp package is significantly lower than any other firm I’ve ever seen, less than SM even. A comment that concerned me was how they want to “get back into” a major client. No explanation of what happened, what division, etc when I asked either.

See ya ✌️

Both seem to evaluate a problem and provide recommendations. Maybe there are some specific areas like due diligence etc which are more niche, but seems like a high degree of overlap between SC and MC?

What’s the best way to negotiate more money during a contract to FTE conversion? My manager and I had the conversion convo today and he said he’d like to convert me immediately and took the action item to do so. In terms of comp he said they should already have what I’m expecting but I don’t think I communicated any FTE number to my contracting company. In this job market with all the layoffs, should I count my blessings and take what I can get or is there wiggle room.

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
