Hi, I’ve been working at the front desk for a year and a half. Working in this job has really helped improve my communication skills. Curious if others have gained similar skills in a front desk role

Hello, I too just finished up working my first 1 & 1/2 years working the front desk. I do think it has helped improve my communication skills, now that you mention it! I was just thinking how I didn't think of myself as a clear communicator but in this role at the front desk, I felt more clear and concise and thinking back, can't recall a time where hadn't communicated very clearly. I wonder if it has to do with whom you are communicating with and stepping up your skills when you knows it's needed and letting them slip when you know its less detrimental to do so. Just some thoughts.

i did front reception jobs until I figured out what I wanted to do. I finally worked for a wonderful doctor and started taking classes for nursing and that became my career.

Hi. I am desperate to change jobs. I have two offer in hands: Deloitte Hyderbad on a contract basis with 15% hike and KPMG Bangalore FTE with 25% hike. I like Deloitte as a brand better.
None of of these two companies are willing to offer more saying that they have a tight budget.

Which one should I take? Please help me decide.

Do tech companies like FAANG hire strategy consultants? Starting at an MBB/T2 next year and curious if tech companies leverage consultants as much as other industries. Part of me wonders if they are in such high growth right now that consultants can’t add as much value, thus maybe a smaller presence. Thoughts?
