Hi! I hope all is well with everyone.
I just left my work last February to take a break on the events industry I worked for 4 years (t’was extremely mentally draining) and took the opportunity to build my portfolio for my next career move. Currently a wip but i would love to hear a feedback from you guys. Check my Behance profile at bit.ly/angelicafulgar Thanks ❤️

Best way to get ahead in software engineering? Learning additional skills? Really curious if anyone here made a big income jump through making any particular kind of change

Should I take this role?
Pros: 50k bump, company is full remote, no time tracking software, unlimited PTO, 10k in quarterly bonuses, vertical move in responsibility and title, will set me up for future roles in different companies with the title I am looking for (so strategic move)

Cons: Its a startup, the solution they offer is adjacent to my desired industry, its a very small team so I wouldn’t grow my network as much, tech stipend for new laptop (but they don’t provide a work one)

Hi Fishes,

I got an offer letter from paypal as L24 band as sr team leader , please suggest they are offering equity in my CTC ..how equity works in paypal ..how promotion or career growth works with paypal

Does anyone work for UBS? What corporate title would a "manager" be? AVP or VP? Or AD?

Is CIPD a valuable certification? Is it appreciated in Europe only or US too? I have an opportunity to get it but not sure if knowledge is really up to date and worth time spent.

For buy side analysts, are there logical career moves one can make after having a couple of years of working experience?

Is it easier to go from McK to BCG or Deloitte to BCG? If one is easier, how much easier? And do BCG recruiters ever poach from McK or is that a big no-no?

Anyone get their PhD in I/O from an online program? If so, which one? Thinking of making that my next step.

.net vs sitecore can anyone tell me what's the difference between the two in terms of career growth and better job opportunities?

Im a new hire at B4. I found that I'm behind my peers (there are 18 trainees) during the training.They react so fast and the training goes so fast to me. This is the first technical training. Im so stressed out now and concerns if I belong to public acct or I should quit?

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented. I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?

Starting a new job as a Merchandising Coordinator for a large food/sales company soon… no experience in merchandising, just customer service. Any advice???

Just got another rejection... Is exiting to FAANG or MB really this hard? Trying to go tech.. or mbb, but not getting anywhere. I have 2 masters (mba, ms) from top schools, been in consulting for over 10 years, I am confident that I know my stuff well..but still I keep getting rejected. Interviewed with Google, Amazon, Cisco, McKinsey, and a few others and every-time there is something that is not a match... are the hiring managers looking for like 100% match? That will never happen!!!

Hi everyone,
I passed my PMP thanks to this sub group.
I have passed Above Target in the People section, and T in the other sections.
It was 95% situational questions.
Thave used AR's mock exams, and used my wrong answers to figure out my weakness and where I truly stand. I didn't purchase AR's course, just the mock exam simulator.
The 200 agile questions by David McLachlan were amazing, it really helped me in adapting to an agile mindset. TIA simulator n Joseph Phillip is useful.

Trying to chart my next move and not sure what direction to go. All I know is I’m tired of being always “on” in a client-facing environment.

Any podcasts, books, etc I can read for insight into more internal roles like biz ops, corporate dev/strategy, other??

4 YOE total all in consulting. Currently a SC. Clients/work have been commercial healthcare implementation & public health strategy, risk, process imp etc.

Hello, which is more beneficial Master’s in Human Resources or PHR Certification?

Is it just me or is the YouGov Profiles tool completely unintuitive to use?

Top companies or types of companies for consumer insights/analytics? E.g. in terms of opportunities to learn, general progression, salary, etc

Recruiting just let me know they will NOT be sending me to the the hiring committee but want to stay in touch about other potential roles. Is this what they tell everyone?

Hi fishes, Can anyone tell me what is the salary offered for Monitoring Analyst II ( L23) in Paypal. I have 6 yrs of experience in same domain . How much to expect and ask

Former client( filed a bar grievance that was dismissed, sent me a demand letter that an attorney responded to on my behalf, and filed a BBB complaint against my non-BBB law firm) has now pro se filed a lawsuit against me in small claims court. Alleging misrepresentation, failure to file a lawsuit, and failure to advise during the process. I have phone logs, emails, and billing notes (all of which she has) that show she’s lying. Should I notify my malpractice carrier? All advice appreciated!

What does drug testing look like after you get an offer?

Anyone buy catgirl?

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?

I went on a date last week and it went really well. We basically set up 2nd & 3rd dates that night. 2nd date's Friday for drinks and 3rd date is drag brunch. Date had to end pretty early bc she's in the med field and needs to wake up around 5am. I'm new to dating people my own gender and I want to make moves but I'm nervous/hesitant since I'm new to this. There was light touching, leaning in, eye contact, but I want to do more. Anything I should do on the 2nd date? How to initiate?

Just finished Train Dreams by Denis Johnson. Superb. Gonna start Tree of Smoke next.

So here's the deal: I've been in the industry for 8 years now—and I still feel my best work is my spec work. Is there a point at which it's simply no longer appropriate to show spec work in a book?
