Hello fishes, has it become a norm with Big4s to staff candidates on pure play IT Program Management roles in the name of Strategy. Anybody in a similar soup, where your core skills lie in Business Consulting, but you are being repeatedly put in IT implementations. Experiencing gaslighting almost every second day. I m more oriented towards business than IT, and hence have a different way of approaching things. Any suggestions how to handle things except switching. Joined 6 months ago.

I’m looking to transition from my current sales role (purely operational) to a more creative/strategic role that involves public speaking/facilitation. Have some experience in sales development (mainly business development & strategic advice to C-level), branding/marketing, facilitation (as a side-job) and working with content creators.

I’m new to this space so not sure about what kind of roles there are?

Any tips on transitioning to consulting after 3 years experience in industry? Just starting to look and apply and curious if some firms are more open to experienced hires without a consulting background vs others

Where have people exited to? And where were you before?

Hi Folks,

To those who are thinking of resigning without an offer, I seriously advise you not to do so. I resigned in July due to a hectic (you can call it toxic) work culture and was confident enough to get another offer. But nothing materialized, no calls, savings money almost depleted with the EMIs, hard lesson learned!

Please try to resign only if you have an offer in hand or you're financially sound enough to survive without a job for at least a year! Cheers!

Currently work as a VP of Sales with 15 YOE. Im managing a large team and revenue target for a growing business. The money is good but I can’t help this nagging feeling of doing something else. What options are there to move into consulting but not the typical post-MBA consulting role? For example I know McKinsey has their implementation business where they’ll hire experienced sales and marketing execs. What other opportunities are out there? Is the pay good? What’s the WLB like?

What are general thoughts on EY digital? Having exploratory convos with them. I know not as mature as D & ACN, but is there legit growth potential?

Hi work in Michigan as a NHA. Left a large company because if no growth for another one who claimed that did been there 15m and want out seems like it’s the same all over? This is only my second job in my entire life 🥹

I'm seeking a corporate communications role in London, after over 10 years in conferences and at the senior level (event director) in London and Asia. I believe I am well familiar with business operations and strategy but not so much for non-event marketing channels. May I get some advice on if I should simply apply for such roles at a junior level, or would you recommend certain courses/training that could bridge the skill gap? Thank you!

How do i get out of strategy? I am already mid level and it feels like fluff more and more everyday. Thinking of switching to PM or production.

Has anyone taken the CFE exam? What study materials did you used and how much time do you think it's needed?

Hi Fishes,

Wanted to understand what is the equivalent designation of a Consultant in other companies: is it equivalent to a Manager or Assistant Vice President or Team Leader?

I am currently working in a MNC Company handling global actions, in other words, functioning offshore from India for US.

Thanks in advance.

Accepted a research position a few months back for SaaS Private Wealth startup. I feel like I’m being underpaid even though I’ve only been here a few months. Not sure how to approach it if I should at all?

Ghosted once more after what I thought was a great first date. Guess I’ll give up on love forever.

What is LOI in amex?

I feel I am not talking enough or not asking enough questions during meetings and internal meeting and have a feeling it’s going to come up. Sometimes I honestly just have nothing to say but agree. How can I compact this? 

I recently was let go (in lieu of accepting my two weeks) and I should have received my March expense check by the end of April per the employment agreement (submitted the report April 1, let go before mid April). I have emailed HR but haven't heard anything. I've got a feeling someone at the top is putting a hold on it.

How do I get my money from them? It's a few hundred dollars

Sorry if this isn't the right bowl for this question - I've checked a few.

Anyone at Microsoft? My dream is to work for Xbox. Would love for some guidance. 🖤

Hi Friends,

I have 2.5 yars experience as Data Analyst , looking for job change to Hyderabad location please help me with a referral

Im grateful. My job isn’t perfect, but I genuinely feel grateful to have landed in-house (after being partner at one regional firm my entire pro life before that), particularly when I read what others post about their day to day. I’ve never had nearly as much career satisfaction as I have since the switch, and I recognize how few quality in-house gigs there really are (even if we have some lunatics within our department (just as I did back in firm life)). That’s it. Just grateful.

Anyone have GMAT success stories /tips they can share? I put in like 150 hours of studying and took the test multiple times but could only get a 710, so trying to see if I just accept it or try again before R2 apps are due. My biggest issue is consistency since I either do well on Q or V

I’m a tech guy who’s about to join Wharton. I’ve noticed that quite a few non-tech MBA people are willing to switch into tech and I wonder whether it would make sense for me to somehow aggregate/structure any sort of information that would be helpful for my future classmates (might be a good and quite meaningful way for me to make connections too, I guess). My experience is within FAANG, fintechs, machine learning and advanced analytics. What might be a good way to approach this? >>>

Is it acceptable to significantly delay a start date (ie. toward the end of the year when things start to get back to normal) if you get an offer, or will that end up getting you blacklisted?

Any harm in applying to see what’s possible or better to just stick with informational interviews?
