I’m so happy to say that after about 5 years of being here, I’m finally done with the exam!!! In a world full of internet trolls, it was so refreshing to be on this thread while we all cheered for each other and pushed each other to climb over our failures and discouragements. Thank you for all who have posted helpful comments, asked poignant questions and left their encouragement! If I can pass, you will pass! Best of luck everyone!

Hi, I’m currently working as a recruiter in the light industrial and I’m really sick of the non stop calls, interviews and just the nature of this profile. Earlier I was contemplating moving to another field in recruitment but now I’m considering switching to another profile in HR where I can do backend processes/ payroll/ hr systems, cz I want to leave the calls and interviews and sourcing.. please suggest profiles I could take a dig in and explore? Thanks in advance

I think I’m potentially about to be fired this week in retaliation from my boss...what should I do?

Hot take: if it’s actually a stealth layoff then everyone else got the same speech as you and outing the firm won’t identify you.

Help! I’m keen to make the pivot to FAANG + Microsoft in a Product Manager capacity. Any key resources folks suggest? (Particularly as it relates to online courses and Discord’s/groups where folks practice mock interviews?)

I currently have 6 years experience in a Bank covering Corporate Banking, Corporate Relations and Chief of Staff roles. What KEY IB skills do I need for a move there as a VP I? Valuation skills and Excel mastery?! It would be a Coverage role. Thanks!

Are most companies paying for you to learn new skills? When acquiring new skills are you mostly self taught? What are your best go to sites for learning animation or video skills? Trying to gauge the norm on expectations for new hires who need to know everything from print, web, video, social and animation. Can you do it all?

Hello Everyone!

I very recently accepted the position of Sourcing Specialist at TidalHealth - a large Heathcare group in my area. A few of my target positions include Respiratory Therapists. If those in this group can provide me knowledge on what you are looking for in employment offers, salary expectations, the ideal work environment, and any/all factors that would help me in my quest to improve my work ability.

I appreciate any and all responses!

Anyone know of any headhunter/recruitment firms for client-side marketing roles? (Nyc)

Hi guys

This question may not be related. However I wanted to know from personal and family point of view how it is like to relocate from India and live abroad .
Let's say Family consists of husband , wife and a kid . I understand we will get good facilities, education, cleanliness , good air etc , however I wanted to check whether people gel up easily in the new environment? Don't they feel loneliness/ difficult to adjust? Do they look for similar asian nationalities to kill boredom?

I've got some friends who work remote jobs, and every day I grow more jealous of them during my one-hour commute.

I’m new on the job search and still employed. I’m looking to grow further in the logistics industry. While I look for work, it’s a bit discouraging seeing how hundreds of people apply for positions I see on LinkedIn. I still apply because you never know and AI plays a huge effect in selections. Should I even bother applying when there are more than 100 applications?

I have interview scheduled with nielsenIq tomorrow for java spring boot position. Kindly let me know ehat questions we can except. I already cleared codility coding round.

How long does it take to get an offer letter once the mail offer is discussed and thru..I have been waiting for more than 10 days but there is no approx. TAT indication

Anyone else feel like as you move up, you have to work even harder to justify your value to your company as you grow “out of the weeds”? Especially with the fear of layoffs looming over everyone’s heads.

Shit Consultants Say.....

What do people in PE ops do?

MBB Human Capital or FAANG Product Manager? Both are in NYC and compensation is similar. I have 7YOE in risk management at an industry specific (tech) boutique investment bank.

Had this question pop up a lot recently - discussed here many times before, but want to see if we can quantify the discussion a bit. Let’s assume the vaccine is at 70% shots in arms by 4th of July (‘21), and 80-85% by Labor Day. In 2022, are we back to 3/4/5, or do you think parts of the remote culture will stick going forward?

For McKinsey PEI (power round), should my stories be around 5-6 minutes containing a good level of detail, or really generic (~2 minutes) and just let the interviewers ask me questions on what they feel are most important to them? I’m really eager to present the details because I think these are elements that can show my fit with the company well, but am hearing some people say that >2 mins people get lost. But some details are important to provide background (industry specific)…

Has anyone used a GMAT test prep company that they had really good results with?

To the moon…Oh I mean back to earth. Sigh 😞

How does your firm measure utilization? I work for a small boutique that defines it as utilization = number of billable hours/2,080 and full bonus payout occurs at 80% plus.

Started my day with a good ole “Well this is how we’ve always done it” after suggesting a process improvement.

So 👏 thankful 👏 only 👏 managers 👏 get 👏 to 👏 make 👏 decisions👏

Thoughts on EW MBA from Booth/Kellogg/Haas. Currently SC at Deloitte and want to transition to tier 1 consulting firms

I’m so bored during this pandemic, I’m starting to consider having kids at some point.

Systems upgrade successful 💉

So who else is at Hilton Orlando this week?

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

Anybody else love the TV show shark tank? If so, two questions. 1: who is your favorite shark and why? 2: Favorite product you’ve bought after seeing it in the tank (just tried the poppi vinegar drink and it’s great!)

To those starting the year on the beach: office or home office ...or actual beach?

About to have a final round at Msft. I realized I never had a conversation with a recruiter (I was reached out to directly by a team member) to discuss logistical details (potential start date, relocation, salary expectations). It is fair for me to ask for that type of conversation before the final round, or does that seem presumptuous?
