Hi folks, FP&A professional with 10 YOE here considering a post MBA pivot to management consulting. Have a chance to get into tier 2 strategy house but with a 20% payout. I enjoy FP&A work but enjoy doing cases more and I want to round out my toolkit in preparation for a future c-suite role. Should I make the pivot?

Why wouldn't you just do a search fund? That way you'd be guaranteed to end up in a C-Suite role.

Search fund is a very interesting idea. I had in mind c-suite roles for more established companies, but larger startups be an option, thanks for the suggestion!

20% pay cut*

Looking to leave but trying to conceive ( 1 year now and having fertility issue). I am sticking around cause the flexibility is great with me need to see RE and get blood draw. But also concerned I'm just going to end up not leaving if I never get pregnant :( Upcoming year will be a new client for me and I know it'll bring stress. However a new role in industry might not be as easy either and I'll need to prove myself, where as currently I'm already regarded as a high performer and gained trust.

Hello! I’m starting to look for remote Recruiter position and would love to get into the Tech industry. I’ve worked in a fast-paced, full-cycle Recruiter role in Healthcare for the past year and more of an administrative role the year before that. I have my Bachelors degree in Marketing and frequently pick up design projects for our campaigns.

I’d love to chat with anyone regarding this industry change and hear of any leads you may know of! Thank you in advance!!

Physician Assistant salaries in the Chicago Area? I’ve practiced at an AMC for 5.5 years and make around 116k salary. Outpatient surgical sub specialty, but the same salary “formula” as my previous role in urgent care in the same system. Another AMC offered me 124k 9 months ago for a similar role - which I turned down due to some red flags during interviews. Recently got a 10k retention bonus when I voiced my intent to leave but still feel underpaid as I’m literally keeping my practice afloat.

My sales lead just gave me my quota for the year. Its increased 120% from last year. I asked if my peers experienced the same increase and the answer is No because I have more experience and up for promo this year. Our bonuses are a % of quota achieved meaning it’s harder for me to get a bonus. Do you think this is fair? What would you do? For additional context, I crushed my quota last year but I feel like I’m being punished now.

Who ultimately decides the compensation offered to a candidate when being hired? Recruiter only? Hiring manager? Trying to figure out what aspects of the offer are owned by each person involved in the recruiting process (salary, sign-on bonus, level, etc).

Definitely took the wrong job. I was offered a seriously competitive salary and great benefits to work at a well funded startup, which is great! Turns out the salary and benefits were meant as lowkey bribes to insure I worked at the company without actually doing any work. Every single suggestion I've made has been shut down and I've been ghosted for several meetings with the CEO. What should I do? Just leave?

People who work in banking, and especially in France, have you ever been badly treated by your colleagues with an attitude as if you’re not even worth a piece of sh** ?

I don’t know if it’s because people in the banks are like this or if it’s because french people are rude. But the way my colleagues behave (fortunately, just some of them, not all) would be considered extremely impolite and uneducated in Asia (where I’m from). Would love to hear some of your opinions about this!
