Hello everyone, I work for the Department of Education (1 year) and in legal non-profit the year prior. I am a young professional. I am looking to explore careers in consulting, maybe social impact consulting. I am in Washington D.C. now. Is it even possible to enter consulting in this stage? It seems like it’s either for experienced professionals or students. Can anyone advise some companies?

I'm 32 and looking to make a career change. Previously I've been in sales, sales QA and some analyst position. I want to transition into learning programming and decided the best roadmap for me would be to learn Salesforce, land an entry level admin job and develop my skills over time to transition into programming.

How realistic is it to go from no computer science degree, to getting Salesforce certs and an admin role?

Anyone at Salesforce know how to lookup the level-grade of a specific person from the org chart?

I recently was diagnosed with bipolar 2 disorder and although it’s provided a sense of relief and understanding, I’m hitting a low moment and I feel like all the inspiration and productivity I was just feeling has slipped away at the worse time. I’m trying to switch jobs because, to say it simply, my job doesn’t help with the depression. However, I still want to do great work until that time yet I’m struggling with motivation often. Can anyone relate?

I’ve got a reservation for 2 at the Aviary for this Friday, 5/6, at 7:30 pm that I no longer can attend. It’s for the 5 course tasting menu.

What exactly is expert track consultant at MBB in terms of qualifications , pay, progression compared to general? I’ve been working in FANG PM for a few years and I’m getting bored. I’m considering moving to MBB.

God, folks, consulting seems absolutely awful.

I’d thought for a hot minute about asking for a referral to one of the Big 4 but every time I see I new post I just want to ask if y’all OK. 🫣

So, I hope everyone is OK! :)

We use Deloitte India for a number of parts of our delivery. Recently I have seen some unethical practices that violate labor laws and do not align with Deloitte principles. My manager says it isn’t my problem as they are a vendor but I can’t help thinking I have an ethical responsibility to do something. Any advice as to how to approach this without being fired?

I tried asking this in my own bowl with no responses, so seeing if other consultants have run into this situation. I’m on parental leave, I got an offer for another firm, great opportunity and pay. How does one go about a resignation mid-leave when you would start the new job before the leave ends? Two weeks notice or just say I am not returning effective the day of the new job? Any things to consider besides potentially repaying the employer healthcare premium?

Left a career in banking for consulting. Ended up working on M&A post merger/Documentation as I’ve experience in the field. Life is funny.

Hi fish, hope you are having a good weekend.

I'm wondering which skills from consulting would be the most versatile/transferrable and key to learn, e.g., strategy, for consulting or general business acumen. I currently have had experiences in RWE data analytics and management and wanted to see what I can target next. Feel free to provide granularity in your response. Thanks!
