Looking for experienced case partners for the next few weeks. 1-2 YOE here and probably done 100+ cases, applying to MBB.

One year away from being up for Director at B4 in Digital Transformation space, BS and MS in engineering, pretty solid technical skillset in SQL and Python. Have led teams of consultants to deliver digital strategy projects for big tech clients — including C-suite level project sponsors. I think I could handle a lateral at the EM/PL level but wanted a pulse check from this group before applying.

Does anyone know someone at project 44 and can help me out?

I hired someone new on my team over a month ago, but have since then made the decision to resign because I am deeply unhappy at work. I feel an overwhelming sense of guilt as when I was first interviewing her, things were great and I described it as such to her, and she was so excited to join. She left a great stable job to come over, and now it's a living hell where I work due to unforeseen business circumstances. What do I do?

Desi folks, need some help. I have a manager that is very “robotic”/transactional in his ways of working and this affects our manager-sc relationship. Out of my 4-5 experiences working with managers from India I have come across the same problem. How do I break the ice? He’s a very nice person but his formality is making the project unbereable, there is no trust and I feel he hides his true thoughts

IBMer's,

Need urgent help.

I recently joined IBM at band 7b for java full stack profile. After joining, I came to know that it is generic hiring & then I have given 2-3 project interviews. The interviewers said that now they will schedule client interview but none has scheduled that.

Just want to know if there is any disadvantage in case you are on bench or any time limit for onboarding in a project in IBM.

How to answer this question asked in PM interviews if you are coming from a non technical background. -“how will you work with engineers?” Somehow HMs want you to have worked with engineers before despite you clearly being a switcher. Any advise welcome from engineers and PMs. TIA

I got interviewed at PwC for Associate role in Delivering Deal Value (DDV) practice. The interview was taken by a senior manager. It was a good experience (around 30 mins duration). He told me that the next round would be conducted by director. But it's been more than 15 days since the interview and there is no communication for further rounds. Does it confirm a rejection??

Who's recruiting for Technical Recruiters?

Hi Fishes,

Anyone having any experience where Cognizant had withdrawn the offer abruptly even after sending OL, and BGV docs and pre-joining formalities submission is complete, wihout any official intimation I mean?

My doj is next Monday, but have to defer it. Contacted my HR but unfortunately she is unresponsive since last week, hence a bit skeptical.

Cheers

If the WH thinks Fauci is doing a bad job, why not just fire him? Instead of leaking their dissatisfaction with him. Seems cowardly.

Hearing conflicting things about COVID in kids. Some saying their viral loads are super small, but others saying they are likely asymptomatic vectors

I recently did my 4th frozen embryo transfer. My first beta at 12dp5dt was 29. I knew I was out. Second beta at 14dp5dt is 53. What is going on? My doctor still wants me to wait for 16dp5dt… we all know this did not work. Anyone thinks otherwise? I have been trying for 10 years so I don’t need false hope.

If I need a little more money until I find my next job, is it dumb to take a part-time minimum wage job? Is there some "professional" equivalent that pays better that I am unaware of?

I started a new job last month at B (+45% over my salary at A). Today, I received an offer from C, a firm I interviewed with before joining B, which is nearly 35% over my current compensation at B. The roles are pretty much the same at B and C and both firms nearly equally prestigious. What should I do? Can I ask for a raise here at B?

What are valuable skills consultants bring to industry? I hear that consulting experience is valuable, but I’m not seeing what traits that entails. Am I taking some things for granted about consultants that industry people don’t have?

Currently at FAANG in a Client Solutions role. I’ve been here for 6 months, have the opportunity to potentially transition to BizOps or Product (in title, work is more implementation focused) in 6 months. Just got a Sales Strategy offer for a tech company but not FAANG. I like the team, pay is equal, and it’s remote with monthly travel. Scared of burning FAANG bridge with potential move out but also dislike my role because I hate sales and want to do strategy work. Thoughts?

What’s the comp range for LinkedIn biz ops senior associate roles? What about bizops manager and PMM?

San Jose vs San Francisco cost of living/ other factors to consider??

Ever worked with a manager who likes to ask for mindless updates in formatting or word changes that honestly don’t make a difference? This is after giving very detailed instructions on how exactly he likes things done and then retracting and going in a different direction. How do I go about this??

Left McKinsey for a Fintech corporate last year. Really disappointed to see bonuses given out (cash is equivalent to half month salary, equity vested over 5 yes also not great) after getting the 5/5 rating and business doing well overall. Doubting my decision to come to industry. Is this the norm? Feels really low as historically variable has been a big enough component for me to pay down loans/invest.
