Hi all!
I’m currently on my last year of university, pursing a computer science degree. I have yet to get an internship, or any experience in tech. Any advice on where to start? I would be attending part time in the spring semester and taking night classes so I would like to have something set up for January, let me know what you think. Thank you in advance.

Hey all! I majored in journalism and spent a couple years as a reporter before pivoting into PR/comms. I’ve been in this career for almost 5 years now, but have been at smaller orgs with little grasp of comms/PR the whole time. I’ve had some successes, but no real mentoring. It’s mostly been me playing around with trial and error. I could use tips on getting noticed by more comms savvy companies where I could really learn the trade.

I've only been in biglaw for a year, but have been practicing for seven years so far. I used to be a state regulator for this practice area and generally enjoy working at a private firm. A partner at a boutique firm that I'm friends with has called me every few months to check-in and see how I'm doing. During our last call he essentially offered a job after I get another year of experience in private practice. Five year track to partnership. No billable hours.

What are the best data privacy certs to aim for? 4 year exp in cyber risk consulting. Want to move to a privacy related role outside the big 4. Should I go for the CDPSE or CIPP or CIPM?

This is my first post on Fishbowl, wondering if the Fishbowl community can help!

I have a SM grade level with 13 years of experience as an IT Architect. I have joined Cognizant 3 years ago and my current salary is at 85k which is not that attractive to me. So I am thinking of leaving Cognizant as an Employee and keep my engagement as a Freelancer. Knowing that I have a good blueprint at my Practice. Been rated at 5 last year, and contributing in several projects which generates a good revenue for the practice.
What’s your view on the Freelance switch ? Cognizant will accept?

Hi all! Has anyone worked at BAC in risk before? Any feedback / advice? Looking to transition from big 4 consulting to BAC risk in Charlotte. Thanks!

Got an offer from one of the top non tech firms for A very well paid and fairly easy role - accepted with start date a month away. In the mid/final stages got a faang that pays the same but with a solid 150k equity on top of it. I’m not chasing money , although it’s important but the faang role is harder but def better career future growth - but also hate to destroy relationship with the first company if I reneg. What would you do?

What kind of experience is needed to land a Strategy & Consulting role?

Thinking of getting my SHRM-SCP, anyone out there have it? Is it worth it?

Only been in FDD a few months but I already hate it (idk why fishbowl won’t update my title). Should I cut my losses and leave or stick it out a bit more? I wanna go into industry accounting

PHR or SHRM-CP?

I'm a conceptual ACD. Anyone make the transition from being a conceptual ACD that's worked mostly I'm tv/olv, and integrated campaigns? How did you make the transition? Where did you start?

Kellogg vs. Haas? I’m accepted by both. I have always been in love with Kellogg and wasn’t expecting I would be accepted by Haas. My goal is to MBB but I’m still trying to make sure if I want to focus on Tech industry through consulting. I’m not too concerned about the tuition, but more about long term connection with alumni and classmates.

Began working in September. Currently just shy of $5k in 401k, it’s currently netting -13% return. Contributing 30% pre-tax currently to capitalize on market, but was planning on lowering that number in the following months. Any advice?

I have billed 4+ hours today helping a partner prepare a 10 slide PowerPoint for a board meeting tomorrow. Let’s say half of the time was fixing spacing and formatting. I really don’t care as I am billing all of it, but am I wrong in thinking this is unjustifiably too common and a waste of time?

Anybody else dreadfully bored of investment research?

Does Deloitte India has similar perks like Deloitte USI ??
Like 25k reimbursement for new mobiles,
Car lease facilities, health related reimbursement?

Need to compare the offer letter to make a decision based on perks. Thanks in advance

Hi there! I’m hiring for a Strategy & Implementation manager at GetAgent, a fast growing start up in London. A great team & manager, sustainable work (hybrid) and an opportunity to make a real impact. Please reach out if interested!

Why is it so difficult to make the next career move within your OWN company. I have over 7 years of experience across multiple departments and yet an external company is more willing to give an interview to select roles than your own home company for the same role internally!!

Where is the loyalty in that !!??

Has anyone used Calendly to help track the dozens of interactions and calls with recruiters and agencies? I am either spending hours on the phone scheduling or being ghosted even if I reply within the day I receive the job description and invitation to talk.

My skills are under the umbrella of risk management, business analyst, business systems analyst or risk analyst… there seems to be high demand and I’m looking to stay organized and set myself apart by making it easy to schedule time.

G is 💩
