Hello all! I need some advice.

I graduated with my Bachelor of Arts in December 2021. I majored in Global Studies with a minor in Political Science and I have an intermediate fluency in Japanese, though I would need to brush up. But I’ve been searching for international-related jobs/internships and it keeps coming to a dead end. I have experience with all Microsoft systems/software and I’m a fast learner. If anyone could point me the right direction or give me tips, it’d be appreciated.

Hi Anyone working atos for manulife/John Hancock insurance client. How's it in terms of work life balance, avg yearly hikes, growth and onsite opportunities.

Any advice/mentorship would be wonderful!

Got a 30% salary bump, via an offer for Senior Consultant S&O from Deloitte. Currently underpaid at EY Advisory. I'm MBA and this year is my promotion year at EY for Manager. What to do? Get demoted and move to D? Or counter at EY? Even if EY matches my salary, and promote me to Manager, I will be an EY Manager with a Deloitte SC salary, and probably won't be able to go to D in the future. What do you think? I have built up a good relationship with my Partner and SMs at EY though.

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?
