Hello Fishes,

Started this bowl to discuss any topic related to Product Management career in India.

What can I do outside the office to boost my resume and be a substantially more attractive candidate for top consulting firms in ~12 months time. Working in disputes and valuation role but want to go into management consulting next year (post MBA role). I feel like my job isn’t enough because skills aren’t considered as transferable outside this field.

People who transferred from Accenture to Deloitte: Was the move worth it? Biggest difference between and what do you miss most?

I am trying to land a role as a human resources business partner and I'm wondering which certification would be the best for me going forward. Phr? Shrm? Thoughts? Thanks!

My career goal isn’t to make it to MBB or a unicorn or FAANG. It’s to feel fulfilled and challenged as I progress. I can’t be the only one that isn’t title or company chasing.

Hi Team,
Need your inputs. Is stability more important than the opportunity?

I have an opportunity to explore how ever it's been only 6 months in current organization.

Can I take the offer and switch? Does it affect the stability?

Please help.

I work in sales as a coordinator and do a bunch of paperwork with customers online. I LOVE PEOPLE but dread going to work everyday (wfh 3x a week) because the environment is toxic. I just found out that the only positive manager on my team is leaving. I am spiraling. I have a BS in Health Science (no chemistry classes taken and minimal biology education). Where are people happy in their careers? What careers are best for young women with ADHD? Who’s hiring?

I was a part of a management program for the past 4 years in a mid-size local company; worked in a variety of functions: operations, sales, data, marketing, and audit. Thinking about pivoting to consulting, how would you advise me to go about this pivot?

Are there any schools in particular that are really good for non profit careers? I’m planning to apply to business school but wanted to specialize in social impact

RSM has been showing interest. Can any former EY workers speak to how transitioning to RSM has been for them? How’s it been? Was it worth it? Any insight is helpful.

Hi
I’m going to receive an offer from O9 as senior consultant, how is WLB, someone in the same role has some insights? The job will be based in Europe. Actually I’m working for a software boutique in supply chain and I’m looking fo an enhance in my career.
Thank you in advance for any advice

Ready to leave my current org to continue the process of learning and growth. Which companies actually have Account Executives hitting quota consistently, have a great product market fit, and have a positive culture geared towards career growth?

Is IB worth the sacrifice of WLB? Obvious pay is really good but are the prestige and pay worth it if you’re planning on only doing it for a couple years?

Currently working at an IRA with great WLB. Honestly I love my job, the firm, and people I work with.

Also doing MBA part time at a T15 school. Thinking about switching to IB but I’ve done my research and I think I would burn out of IB in two years but I might be ok with that for the opportunities after.

Don’t mind staying in change management either TIA - appreciate any advise

I’m looking for some advice on “commission only” salespeople. This is for a startup with a great foundation. It has good branding and a great website. All it needs now is hungry sales professionals with experience to build this startup into something big! I know very little about sales management and need to know if this is a viable option and how to go about getting started. Thank you.

Oak park vs. Evanston - thoughts?

Hello bros,
Need one suggestion. My close friend is gng to marry soon. So I need some suggestions to what I should give as a gift. Until now I gave gift with group. This time I'm giving by myself.
I can't afford expensive things.
Thanks in advance!!

Do companies sometimes offer "gifts of appreciation" if you're not selected for a merit increase? My manager randomly called me to let me know I was chosen for the "gift" this year bc of my "hard work & dedication", except now I'm learning other colleagues are receiving actual merits.
I mean it's possible that I may receive a merit, but I feel like I won't considering my manager never brought it up & the dept update made it sound like those receiving it should know by now.

Hey folks,

Needed some help in negotiating for offer. Can some give an estimate about how much compensation is offered to SDE 3 position?

Thanks!

I’m seriously contemplating taking a software development boot camp. For those who hire new software developers, does it make you stand out if you get your certificate from a university instead of a coding academy (like coding dojo or something)? I noticed the universities are a bit more expensive but is it worth the price to have a university on your resume or does it not really matter?
