Hi Folks,
Having 3YoE in procurement research and now in a research team at an MBB, I feel I've reached plateau learning-wise. Have been focused in Chemical domain throughout.

I now intend to explore roles on client(Chemical Companies) side (like SCM, Planning, Strategy) but unsure how do I go about it.

What should be an ideal career roadmap for someone like me. How should I prepare/do in order to pivot towards those roles?

PS. I'm a BE Chemical Engineering, and no MBA.

TIA!

Any non-MBB find PE ops opportunities pre mba? Where would you find opportunities posted? Or should I reach out to headhunters

I’m 20 years of experience in automotive. 5 in Tier 1, 15 in OEM; always with growing international responsibilities and reporting directly to headquarters (I’m located in Mexico) but never have gotten a formal promotion (fact, automotive industry orgcharts have been shrinking a lot since 2009)
Got an MBA and have been doing freelance consulting to SMEs in last 4 years plus 2 personal business. I am looking at applying to a consulting firm.
Would you find it realistic?

So I’ve been on a big tech client adv project for months now and have formed a good relationship with one of the contacts. She’s dropping hints about open positions, and they would pay me about 40% more and I like the company culture, so I want to work there. Will there be a noncompete or other internal problem if I go work for them / tell them I’m interested at the very least?

Hello,

Looking for referrals for Scrum Master/Project Manager roles in Boston.

I’m currently a Scrum Master - Business Development with 7 years of project management experience and am actively looking to move in the next 1-2 months.

Recently laid off and looking for recruiters that specialize in media/strategy/advertising (both agency and client side). Sure there are others looking as well - would greatly appreciate any info.

Senior: “how does Chipotle sound for lunch?”
Associate: “sounds good to me”
Senior: “ok great, would you want to drive over and pick it up?”
Associate: “no”
Senior: “well when I was a first year, I’d always pick up food!”
Associate: “damn that’s crazy”

Honestly so proud to see first years with backbones 🥰

In a meeting we a client, we were looking at a stock image of a smiling Black man holding a baseball bat while wearing a hoodie. The client comments that it’s the wrong way to hold a bat. Cool. But, then follows up and says, “Also, he just looks aggressive. Like, this person would definitely attack me and my family.” I was shocked. But, apparently, I was the only one. Because everyone else on the call laughed. They were all white except for my partner who is Mexican. But, he still chuckled.

Hi All,

Hope everyone is doing well.

Suggestions and certification paths would be very great of you 🎏🎏

Is a Business Analyst closer in job role to a Consultant or a project Manager?
I have recently joined a service based consulting firm, with my role as a BA in Banking domain but wish to get into PM roles in the near future. I'd deeply appreciate your inputs from your career journey or any suggestions to eventually create a strong profile for PM roles in Big tech firms.
I'm sure this thread would help a lot of aspiring PMs learn from your journey

How’s everyone’s firms doing?
MBB, Strategy&, EYP, Deloitte, Big4, OW, RB
Is the worst over?

Is it okay to be friends with your client?

Why do strategy consultants at BCG work 14 hour days? What is the discrepancy between MBB and Big 4 that accounts for such a high burn environment? Are projects staffed ultra-lean in MBB? Is the MBB methodology so much more rigorous than Big4’s?

Any advice for dealing with a client who is chronically late to calls or blows them off entirely? I don’t even get a courtesy note about running late or having something come up. I’m getting annoyed with wasting my time prepping for calls that don’t happen and waiting on the conference line when there are other things I could be doing instead.

I'm struggling with drafting/creating policies. Is that something that's taught through a certification or I missed in school? How does one get good/comfortable with writing policies or is there a tip I'm overlooking? (e.g. I need to formalize our Maternity leave policy and create a paternal leave alongside)

Does after 15 th October ibm employee will not get internet reimbursement upto 1.5k instead they will get rs 500 per month even if they are in a billable project

Tiger Analytics has started firing their new joineers(freshers) as they don't have adequate projects. I don't know where the freshers will go as they haven't done any project as such.

This is just pathetic from organization. They are just firing people owing to failing a test of certification, for which other company gives 3 trials but they are giving only one try with negative markings

What’s the best way to set up outcome-based projects for success (milestones, phases, payment structure)? Example project: we will save the client $xxx,xxx by doing y and will ask for z% of the savings as payment.

I think I’m stuck

5 YOE tech strategy at F100 and just made M, but I don’t think I’m getting good exp anymore. Not sure how to pivot to 1) consulting, biz dev, or PM. Already proven myself to climb to the M level, does this mean I have to get the MBA to come off seriously externally?

What schools would you recommend I apply to?

Indian male, 31, LGBT
7 YOE (FAANG, big-4, NGOs)
BA and masters from top-10 universities
3.7 GPA, 164 V/Q
Interested in VC, social entrepreneurship, or MBB.

Are there any groups at Salesforce that value developers? I'm in Q Branch and it baffles me how solution engineers make $30-$40k (I make $99k) more than me when I've been developing on the Salesforce platform for 8 years. I get that they are client facing but if it wasn't for my team and me, they wouldn't land as many big deals. I could make $140k elsewhere for context

Ladies I was trying a pair of jeans on the other day and noticed something that has been stressing me out. Because my waist area is where I’ve gained more weight, I need a larger pant size, but then the pants are too baggy on my legs (it’s like I’m fat around my midsection but my legs are fine). Have any of you experienced this? What do you do?! (Obviously I need to be healthier and watch my junk food intake, but I walked out of the store feeling miserable).

Is it ok to share your CTC with recruiter when they are not comfortable to share their salary range for the post they are hiring. Due to this many times we are less paid than our colleague as HR consider our previous ctc to provide hike while hiring.
