Manager with great flexibility, unsure of sticking it out to partner. If you stay longer will it hurt your exit opportunities down the road in Industry?

Has anyone left consulting to go to Amazon? If so which level do you go from/to?

All else equal, is it easier to become direct admit PP rather than promoted to that role from SM or MD? Seems less obstacles. Thoughts?

Hi everyone,

I have got the ey hr mail stating i should provide him with aadhar card, information sheet and latest resume for a audit and assurance contract for 6 months as iam a semi qualified CA.

Here my question is should i take this opportunity. Cause since this is only for 6 months. After that, what i can do, where should I try to get the job?

Thanks a lot.

Thoughts on the "fake it til you make it" mentality in career growth? Regarding a Front End Developer role.

I passed the HR screen, did an interview with who would be my) supervisor and the team lead, and am now doing a coding test.

I am familiar enough with the language (React) and pushing updates to Git in order to complete the test, but I'm afraid when I do a panel with the team to review my design, I'll end up making a fool of myself.

I've never been so excited yet so nervous for a role.

Does having a masters in graphic design, fine arts or advertising benefit you and help you move along in your career? Or does knowing the right people and type of company help you move along?

Does industry have billable hours? At the big 4, we are required to work a certain number of hours each week and if we spend too much time on anything we are questioned on why it took so long. Is that a thing when you go in industry?

I come from a pure healthcare background and have minimal finance skills/experience. Want to eventually get in healthcare investing in a MM PE fund.

Is there anyway that I can start to make moves on this, while at my Big 4? Who are the best types of folks to reach out to at my Big 4?

Anything I should get smart on? Websites, podcasts, books to read?

What programming language are you mostly using at work? For me it’s Java

Just getting little depressed after being rejected from interview. Anyone else has the same feeling.Could have done better.

Had a very unpleasant experience with the entire interview process at Paytm. First of all they kept all three rounds in a single day . It started from the morning and ended up till the final round at late evenings. After all the rounds were cleared, the HR asked for the expected package, and when I gave him my quote which was just 35% more than my current CTC, he got reluctant and said we only have a budget of an X amount which was just 10% more than my current CTC. Who on earth does that..?

Brand new to the bowl. Looking at getting my fiancé his first nicer watch as wedding gift when we get married next year. I’m trying to stick around $7k, but would go to $10k. Is it worth getting him something now or wait until I’m willing to spend more? I know absolutely nothing about watches. Recommendations?

Is it acceptable to re-negotiate designation after accepting the offer letter?

Hii! Question for everyone, how much should a UX Researcher (quantitative) with 5 years experience + PhD should be making? NYC based

Hi everyone,
I passed my PMP thanks to this sub group.
I have passed Above Target in the People section, and T in the other sections.
It was 95% situational questions.
Thave used AR's mock exams, and used my wrong answers to figure out my weakness and where I truly stand. I didn't purchase AR's course, just the mock exam simulator.
The 200 agile questions by David McLachlan were amazing, it really helped me in adapting to an agile mindset. TIA simulator n Joseph Phillip is useful.

Are there any scholarship opportunities or aid available to students taking the PMP? My university does not have any and I’m interested in taking the exam. TIA

Anyone here know what an FPX certification is? Curious, a few roles at J&J have a requirement for it but I can't find anything online.

I’m scheduled for my PMP test in November. Is signing up for the PMI Study Hall prep plan recommended? What other study methods do you recommend to help with passing the test?

I have a project management analyst position open in my office. Please DM me if interested. Location is Dallas

TIA simulator? What’s your experience using this simulator? It has a lot of review and success stories on Reddit.
