Hi all! Just introducing myself. I’ve become a Bowl Leader here in the new biz bowl. Looking forward to it! This bowl helped me tremendously when I switched from prod co sales to full service agency biz dev. Great group! I’m now biz dev director for a production/post/animation facility. Please comment with a bit about you and your role. Thanks!

How much time does KGS take to arrange 2nd round of interview for Senior analyst position?

Question for ex-consulting (esp MBB) folks who landed up at Google - are you happy with the decision you took? Why / why not? I'm an MBB Consultant with an offer for a role in Strat Ops in another country. Also evaluating a similar role in a fast growing, publicly lister SaaS company closer to home - faster growth, more flex to work remotely. Want to understand if consulting folks are happy with Google overall, despite a potentially slower / more open ended growth path.

My interest lies in the compliance/legal field but it’s very difficult to get fellowship opportunities at my current company.

Anyone have a rec for a recruiter that can help with L&E in-house opportunities? Been trying to apply for openings on my own but not getting much traction.

I have two years of internal audit experience in a 500 company and I am relocating to a financial analyst role within the company. However, I think I still need the public accounting experience in big4 to get a long-term competency. I want to apply big 4 staff auditor after I pass the rest two CPA exams. I know I can’t get the experienced auditor position since I don’t have public accounting experience. I had my master in accounting. Will I be qualified for the entry level auditor in big4?

TikTok or Cepheid Biotech
Hey guys, I need to make a decision today on whether I want to start a career as a Talent Sourcer at TikTok or as a Onboarding Specialist at Cepheid, a Biotechnology company. Both in the Bay Area at $35 per hour and both are currently WFH. The TikTok position is less stable and very numbers driven, while the Onboarding position is more “secure” but less exciting. I am overthinking the fact that I would need to be presenting orientations for hours a day, and could be shy

Was about to accept an offer with a smaller brand strategy firm and got a push to interview with Deloitte for a partnerships lead position that really matches my profile…but love the culture of the smaller firm. Go for big brand name and bigger check, or growth and connection at smaller firm with exciting work?? Obviously just in first round with Deloitte—but 25yrs old, so trying my best to think ahead and make smart moves!

I have 20+ yoe and MBA. Had a pretty rough time getting into private industry after the MBA, partly because of my public sector background. The only role that I got was a Manager in consulting, while my classmates left for SM and MD roles. But, after 4 years in consulting, and interviewing with other consulting firms, I am still being directed to the Manager role by recruiters. Reason: We hire only at that level. But, my classmates are joining the same firm as MD. Am I underselling my skills?

I have a problem solving task/assessment and a case study as a next step of my recruiting process for an account manager position for a e-commerce software startup and have no idea how to prepare for it.

Fishies, I am hiring a partner in crime to help me introduce PETERMAYER to the national stage. This isn't your typical biz dev role - it's designed to be a hybrid/cross-discipline role for someone who wants to use their full creative, strategic brain and most definitely NOT stay in their lane. Know anyone that sounds like that, send them my way! (Agency is full-time flex/hybrid, but a desire to be NOLA-based is strongly preferred; however remote may be negotiable.)

Ok I know some folks are heading back to the office. But for many we are still WFH. So question: how are you dressing for zooms? How has it changed over the last year if at all?

Do you have specific New Years resolutions that relate to biz dev? Would love to see them.

I've been starting to work more in new biz at my agency and the president said in a meeting this afternoon that he wants to increase our close rate to "at least 50%" once we're at the pitch stage.

Is there a going rate if you bring in new business (and aren’t on the new business team)? What if it’s per project and not retainer?

Does anyone have tips for getting prospective clients to state a budget? I'm not trying to milk anyone...I just hate wasting my time scoping projects they can't afford.

Anyone going to Mirren next week?

Thinking about trying to change into a career in new biz dev. What is the earnings potential of top new biz dev people in the US? For example “Head Of” or CMO level at well known agencies?

I’ve had bad experiences with New Business hired in the past. As in, nothing happened over 6-12 month periods bad. My agency (independent national player with Fortune 500 clients) is asking me to help search for a dedicated resource to business development. What should I be looking for and what should the agency’s expectations be? Thank you!

Does anyone know where to source an updated list of search consultants. My 4A’s list is terribly outdated.

Hi all! First : shout out to the folks who sold the super bowl clients! Question for all. What tools are you using for biz dev? For finding clients specifically.

Any other online tools you are using? Thanks!
