Hi all-

I'm an incoming intern at a consulting firm and I have no idea how to prepare or what to expect. For reference, it's a technology consulting intern position.

Any and all advice is welcome :)

I felt a similar way when I was an incoming intern / associate. I’d spend some time learning excel and ppt shortcuts, they actually helped me quite a bit (control D/R in excel, copying boxes quickly in ppt using ctrl + click + shift).

Tbh tho try not to stress. No one expects much of interns other than following simple directions. If you have a good work ethic and listen you should be chilling.

Take the time to get some certs! If you are on a software platform that is specific to your practice ie. Workday, Oracle, SAP, etc get certs in that area. Also anything cloud is a great resume builder. Azure practitioner or AWS solution architect!

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.

I’ve been with my company for 8+ yrs, I love my manager and the work I do (engagement, recognition, & wellness programs) but I feel like I’m limiting myself since I have the experience, an HRM degree, and SHRM-CP credentials.

Should I apply for roles outside the company?
