This is a great space to move into in ESG. If you want to switch to ESG consulting I recommend staying at a “regular” consulting firm (versus an ESG consulting firm) because there are generally more opportunities and better pay. Supply chain sustainability is growing especially for manufacturing but also other industries. Happy to chat about it further. Just dm me.

Scope 3 is an excellent place to be atm. If you don’t have any background in it, then you can start the regular supply chain route and move to sustainable supply chain / scope 3. Start doing trainings related to energy management, general sustainability topics and such if you can. Certifications are always helpful. KPMG has hired a ton in ESG/Sustainability, so I recommend searching out folks on those teams and getting plugged in for networking, trainings, communities of practice, etc.

Anything in ESG/Sustainability means a highly desirable skill set. And, if you start building those skills and can’t keep growing them where you are go elsewhere. There is no lack of jobs in this field even in the midst of recession.

Definitely agree! It’s a recent topic and very challenging as we might not learned before in the university. I recommend you to study a bit from brightlive webinars to get some insights :)

So I used to work for a company where my job was good, was a director of business solutions for a fashion brand. Only issue was that the CFO micromanaged and ended up leaving. My background is digital transformation however I took an infrastructure position to rebuild a provincial healthcare system. I always lacked the hardware side and thought this was a good move but I feel like I’m losing my digital skills and don’t enjoy the work. I’m in it for 7 months now.

I’ve put myself up for L4 promo this cycle. Assuming I get it, what would be the best next steps to optimize for long-term growth/TC?

My understanding is that L5->L6 is extremely painful at
Google. It may be easier to leave for a handful of years and gain managerial experience before returning.

L4->L5 is less challenging; however, I’m under the impression I can do this quicker at another company (if I leave after being freshly promo’d) AND get higher TC.

A friend is considering deferring an offer (stem PhD) for 1 year straight out of undergrad to work in NY, either in a research institution or a biotech.

To what extent did you find that a year or two of work impacts prospects coming out of PhD? How might a year off from school impact her PhD work itself?

Between the time of the rejection and reversal, I’ve made connections with people in the department and the role has been reopened/reposted. Should I reapply using a referral and revamped resume or just try my luck with the application that’s now ‘under review?’ I want to be sure my chances are better this time.

Hi All,

Recently got the opportunity to "grow our ESG/CSR" practice at a small regional consulting firm, due to my recent grad certification in sustainable strategy. Wondering where I should focus us as a services industry for big impact - we have a large product innovation, engineering area, and know in the past we've had a lot of lip service to clients and only recorded ESG for their compliance.

Hoping to make a big difference and include CSR/Sust audits for our client projects! Any tips?
