Hi, I'm a process engineer specialized in wastewater treatment. I'm 27 and I was looking to transition to a climate change consultant job.

I've started reading about SBTi, GHG protocol and different methodologies for risk analysys. I was wondering if you had any recommandations of formation to complete/knowledge to acquire to become a climate change consultant?

Feel free to give any output!

Would recommend getting a sustainability certification to show your knowledge/interest in this space. At EY at least we require a sustainability cert to get promoted to the manager level. The GARP SCR is good one, I think SASB has the FSA. TCFD and SBTi both have short free trainings.

EY will hire you if it can be confident in putting your CV in front of a client. So you probably want to sell yourself as a business analyst with understanding of sust concepts.

EY seriously requires one of these certs for manager level? I‘ve taken a couple but frankly the sustainability field moves way too fast for the certifications to keep up. And the GARP SCR syllabus looks like a joke…

There’s a huge list of approved sustainability (or general like PMP) certs, those are just 2. But yes, it’s a requirement for in-house promotes at least

Need help from the Hivemind. I am a rising 4th year who has only been at my firm for a little over a year (after a few clerkships). I like my firm well enough, and the partners I work with like me a lot, but I’ve learned that Biglaw is not the life for me and want to get out ASAP. I’m applying to a Fed agency that I’m really excited about, but the application requires a reference from your current supervisor. I haven’t told the firm I’m thinking about leaving. How would you handle this?

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!
