Hi Fishbowl family! I am a senior consultant at a big 4 and need some serious guidance. Which sector to specialize in? promotion and career progression are very important to me a) Consumer products/retail (7 years of exp, with 5 years in a top ecomm company) b) Tech (no tech exp or education). The only reason I am considering tech is cause I want to work in a tech company post consulting and also don't want my skills to become obsolete given all the hype around tech.

Hi Guys, is Senior Principal Consultant in oracle is equivalent to Associate director in Big4???

I have got an offer letter from Morgan Stanley for the QA role in regulatory reporting. Currently I am in a BA role with 7 yrs experience. In MS they are giving a good hike (45%) plus joining bonus. Not sure at this stage should i switch from BA to QA role.

Looking for thoughts.

I have 13 years of experience as a Business Analyst at various capacities (Regulatory, Data Verticals) in Banking with Bachelors degree in Accounting & Semi Qualified management accountant

Currently pursuing PGP in Data Science and in verge of completion.

Alongside I have got certifications in Cloud & Visualization tools.

Now I want to move completely to the Analytics/ML side. Will the companies consider my BA experience in Data & Regulatory experiences?

Does anyone have advice about interviewing somewhere with bad Yelp/google reviews? Is it OK to ask about it in an interview? Does any law office, for the most part, have “good” reviews, especially family law?

How much attention should one pay to this when looking for a new firm at which to work?
