Has anyone left strategy consulting for a role in sales? Had a class reunion and some people thought I might do well in it.

What kind of sales? I left pharma sales to go to S&O consulting via business school.

Thank you EY1, I liked what you described.

Hi. I’m looking for advice. I recently interviewed for a job with the EPA. The hiring manager and team seems like it would be a good fit and I would be working on projects that would be what I want to be doing as a career. The job description has not been written up yet. How likely would the job be remote versus telework? My boyfriend has said he would not want to relocate. It almost seems like a cliché situation and I would be very conflicted about moving away from him.

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

Looking to leave my current role, in industry (engineering/manufacturing) and to get back into big 4 (same firm as well), however I have a 3 month holiday planned from December next year.

Are big 4 pretty lenient on allowing holidays of that length? Especially for boomerangs? Or is it better to come back after the holiday and try then? Thinking that contracting temporarily might be the way to go in the interim.

I have herd that currently most of the companies are in hiring freeze. (Holiday season, recession or layoffs).

I need some advice! Currently in the process of getting a new job but have no idea what to ask for or what I should be making. My new potential role is Account Supervisor at a pharma agency, is asking for $95k reasonable? I’m currently a senior account manager with 6 years experience but worked abroad for my entire career so I have no idea what I should be making. I don’t have pharma experience but this agency is still interested in me so I’m wondering if what I’m asking for is too high?

Found a most enlightening work on decolonial history with tons of TIL moments especially about Anti Colonial movements in Egypt, China, Japan and course India in the 19th and 20th centuries. Most histories this period often adopt a Euro-centric lens but this book flips it and tells the stories of these turbulent times from the vantage point of the pioneering Asian leaders like Tagore, Al Afghani, Kang Youwei etc. Lovers of Asian history would surely appreciate this book
