Is there a business ops team where you work? Ultimately the success of projects tie back to optimizing resources or making / saving money so perhaps you can chat with them and get yourself involved in a Ops effort from the Finance side which would let you build those relationships and open a door for you to shift roles

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!

Returned from maternity leave, I was offered a Revenue Operations Project Manager. I was given a 4% raise (next to nothing), I was asked to sign the paperwork upon my return which was strange. On day 1, got to know almost 4% raise was given to the entire company as compensation adjustment due to inflammation. The manager left the company within 4 days of my joining and now I’m stuck with the sad pay and a hefty job. Not sure what I should be doing?

Got promoted recently to Business (Operations) Manager. Still figuring out how to make an impact in this role. Any advice from seasoned professionals? What would you focus on, which info would you collect to make a “plan of attack” if you would start this job at a new company? Thanks
