Hey team. Does anyone have any tips for pivoting from into engineering consulting from industry? I've been in the power distribution industry for 5 months now out of uni and want to build up the skills so I can make an easy transition into consulting in a year.

Just made the jump from ChemE to consulting. From my personal experience, consulting companies really like engineers because of the problem solving skills. Definitely easier to pivot into a department that specializes in your field. If you can get some sort of scrum certification that's pretty helpful and if you're going for something more tech based like Accenture, probably should learn some basic coding if you don't already know a language.

I am looking to make a career change to HR. I currently make 75K as a sales and development coach.

I am extremely over qualified for the position but it could possibly be a stepping stone and gives me the time to acquire SHRM certifications and possibly start taking classes to get my MBA. My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?

Dumb questions but genuinely curious:

1) Let’s say you’re a recent undergrad candidate with no internships on your resume. What’s the deciding factor that you’re qualified for Advisory vs Tax vs Audit? Is it school, gpa, etc.?

2) Why can’t you switch from Tax to another SL without having to pull strings? I understand that there’s a difference in tax vs book experience but why does the Accounting field gatekeep other SLs? It’s not like we’re incapable of learning other areas.

Hello Fishes,

Recently, I joined a service based company with 26 CTC + buyout amount on 12th oct. I am about to receive my first salary. But yesterday I received an offer from a good product based company with 27 lpa. I told the product based company that I'm an immediate joiner. But now if I leave the current organisation without a 30 day notice period they will hold the salary + buyout amount. So it means 2 months salary loss. What should I do ? Absconding or salary loss?
