Bored on a Sunday night, any female fish feel like chatting

Anyone working in global pricing & market access (P&MA) consulting? New to the field and conscious which firms are top in their game

A PSA to all consultants applying for business development jobs: please figure out what business development means before applying. Hint: it refers to a specific function, and is not, in fact, a catch-all term for all business activities in pharma/biotech.

Sincerely,
An exhausted hiring manager

How do you deal with a manager / junior partner who is always nitpicking and questioning why you did what you did, or telling you what you did is the wrong way to do things? It’s generally prefaced with them only doing this to help you grow, but has the exact opposite effect on me. And then when you try to explain your POV, you’re tagged as being defensive. Generally ends me with saying I’m sorry. No other partners at the firm have ever raised any concerns on my communications or work product.

How do you handle it when a direct report reacts negatively during a performance review?

When do you think associates are usually let go in small practice groups that are currently being overwhelmed with work? Is it when it starts to slows down or when they already have a candidate to replace you? Just trying to figure out how long I have after annoying a partner 😂.

What should be the industry standard salary for sde from tier 1 college , and 3.5 yrs of experience in backend in any startup ?

How long does it take for Infosys limited to allocate project to new joiners

Hello fishes,

Can someone help me out to fill the compensation plan and save more tax with the declared component? My CTC is 22.2lpa. Thanks in advance!

I’ve been in Minneapolis 1 week and the skyways are killing me. How long did it take you to learn to navigate through these rat mazes?

Wish I listened to my roommate on Blue Apron. Up 115%

Most exotic name you’ve heard: drop below!

I was told a position is expected to return to the hybrid mode and not 100% remote eligible. Has anyone successfully negotiated a role labeled this way to become fully remote?

HR opinion: Do I have any leverage as a hospital nurse case manager in negotiating earned time? I have 15 years within the organization, left for 10 months to be remote during the pandemic while sorting out childcare as immunocompromised family helped. Now HR is restarting my ET as a new employee. I realize I left, but not on bad terms and I am an exemplar and respected employee. I thought I’d have the upper hand with the nursing shortage but I’m getting the “rules are rules” response. Help!?!

Hi I have 1 YOE in economic consulting, strong data analytics experience and I’m trying to pivot into tech. Anyone who’d be willing to share advice on breaking in?

New member! I have a career consulting business on the side and would love to connect with those who are looking for help.🙂

Hi guys/gals: looking for advice to switch from tax to Tech Consulting. Any pointers/certifications/etc.?

Thanks for starting this bowl. I am fairly new to fishbowl and I would consider myself a non-traditional candidate for consulting, looking to pivot out of industry. Would love to get some help and be mentored on how I could make this happen?

Does this bowl also allow someone who is not in consulting but wants to go into tech?

Consultant for nearly 7 years (combination of Strategy, Ops and Tech mostly within FS) looking to pivot to a startup in a different industry

Anyone pivoted from consulting into the aerospace/defense sector as an engineer?

Didn't end up making the cut in Strategy consulting case interviews. Would really like to do strategy / S&O some day. I love using data to inform decision-making.

Wondering if it would make sense to continue consulting in implementation then try to pivot again in the future or at another level - or drop consulting & try to get a strategy job at a startup or maybe do something else at a larger company and try to pivot internally.

Background is tech + MBA. Any insight appreciated!

Did this thread go dead? 😂

Hello, I have left consulting career to build a portfolio of careers. I am a founder of Life Startup, we do future workforce and employee wellbeing as well as work with individuals helping them design their next chapter in life. I'm also a yoga teacher and an artist.

I've never been more fulfilled in my life and my purpose is to share this with as many unfulfilled and potentially burnt out consultants and professionals out there.

If you are looking for a change, DM me, I'll be happy to chat!

Hi. Lawyer of around 8 years (both big law and inhouse experience). Finally decided to accept the sunk costs as I have never been happy with my job.

After doing some serious soul searching, I want to pivot into SWE/web development. Preferably full stack. Only on point experience is having built 3 personal websites in Wordpress = nothing but something that shows my passion?

Going to try for the bootcamp path. But, would love to speak to some SWEs. I think 70% of my network is lawyers.

I have been working in management at an industry job for 10+ years and I would like to pivot to consulting. Are there any certifications that I should pursue before interviewing? Any other advice is welcome as well.

Hi, I'm looking for a mentor so I can pivot from e&i to software and devops. I love figuring out how things work. To me it is all a big mysterious puzzle to figure out and make work. I love seeing the pieces click together and suddenly begin doing something productive.

I'm currently learning python for self directed tasks and am working on skills related to OOP and software design patterns as well as studying to renew my CCNP Collaboration and working towards a CCNA DevNet.

Thanks for starting the bowl John. Huge fan of BCG Texas.

I had a mentor recommend it to me and I've been paying it forward ever since. If you find it insightful pass it on.

Happy to chat government, startup, or cybersecurity worlds if anyone has questions there (quite contrasting I know).

Hey guys/gals. Hoping to get some guidance on here. I’m considering making a pivot into industry (Big Pharma specifically) towards the end of next year (right after I’m up for promotion to Manager). Ideally exiting into industry in the marketing function. The problem is I’m not sure what marketing role my background best prepares me for. More on my background below…
