Have 2 Weeks to pass the PMP ..doable?

Hello Fishes,

I want to do SAP BODS 4.2 certification, will Accenture reimburse the exam fees for this external certification?

Thanks in advance.

Hi fishes,

A quick suggestion...the trend earlier was
yoe x 2= good deal
Yoe x 2.5=great deal
Yoex3= amazing deal
Tier 2engg grad
Non mba
Consulting
Is this the same now?

Help please!!!

Strategy & Ops at large tech company (non-FAANG) - 120K TC (San Francisco)

Rotational Program at Industrial Firm - 170K TC (Chicago)

Industrial Company:
- Would pay for grad school
- Comp is insane
- Work is more niche
- Company culture is rough
- MBB / tech exit
- smaller less known company

Tech Company:
- Cool company
- well known
- Enter tech early on
- Salary lower than other by a lot
- PM / Biz Ops exits

Both companies have good MBA placement. What would you do?

Those who did MBA / can relate: I made friends but I’m almost never in the loop about pre-games/house parties, though I see these happening through insta stories. It’s bothering me a lot.

Incoming MBA here - am attending the Toigo Catapult virtual conference over the next few days and want to understand what to expect in the video interview component for finalists from anyone who is a current Toigo fellow

I am admitted to the full-time MBA program at Cornell, Goizueta, and Gtech Scheller.

I am planning to build a successful company. Any thoughts on which B school will be suitable to raise funds and make valuable connections?

Any tips/success stories on getting your firm to retroactively apply their MBA sponsorship program to your student loans? (My firm sponsors current employees. I'm a new employee with a top MBA.)

I am interested in getting my SHRM-CP certification this year and I was wondering which study methods and materials worked best for those of you who passed the exam. Also, what are your roles in HR?!

Heard somewhere the new post-MBA base comp is $180k . Can anyone confirm ?

How difficult would it be to exit into MBB from Big 4 financial services consulting? Obviously it’s dependent on the candidate, but is this a switch one can accomplish without going back for an MBA?

Which certification will look better on a CV, a CSPO or a SAFe Product Owner/Product Manager?

Seeking perspectives on career path. TIA!

9 YOE (6.5 in consulting, 2.5 in BU strategy and M&A). Involved in end-to-end process (incl. modeling) but processes largely led by Corporate M&A team. 3 tuck-ins completed (all in 2022).

Options considering:
1/ Continue current path, stack more deal experience, strong chance of Director promo in 3-6 months
2/ Don’t wait, just jump or apply to other roles
3/ Study and go back to grab MBA (considering MIT or Stanford MSX - 1 YR)

TC: 175K (…low)

Anyone familiar with YellowTail AWS Cert Program?

Any Accenture Interactive account folks on what makes a successful Account Lead at AI. I've been approached for a "Digital Transformation Executive" role, but my knowledge of digital transformation/CX/BX is cursory at best.

I crashed and burned pretty hard at Publicis Sapient (now back industry-side) and am wary of going back into the digital transformation space. However, the AI folks insist my general business background, MBA and brand strategy experience will translate to success.

Best skills to have if you want to specialize in product marketing? Finding it hard to get actual hands-on project experience so wondering if any skills/cert training could make up for it

Dumb questions but genuinely curious:

1) Let’s say you’re a recent undergrad candidate with no internships on your resume. What’s the deciding factor that you’re qualified for Advisory vs Tax vs Audit? Is it school, gpa, etc.?

2) Why can’t you switch from Tax to another SL without having to pull strings? I understand that there’s a difference in tax vs book experience but why does the Accounting field gatekeep other SLs? It’s not like we’re incapable of learning other areas.
