Hi,
I have been working as accountant for past 10 years at a logistics company. I want to change my route and join different industries for better challenges and opportunities. How can I approach new firms with this single industry background.

I’ve been in my current position (Bookkeeper) for 4 years now. I’m highly interested in taking the PHR, and I’m wondering if I would qualify for the 4 year HR professional job requirement to be eligible to test for the certificate. I work for a small business, therefore I do all the on boarding paperwork/payroll. Any advice is appreciated.

Hi fishes, I’m a working professional with YOE of 3 years. I have scored good in my PG, senior secondary and high school, however my CGPA in UG is just 6.2

How hard is it to get shortlisted for MAANG, Microsoft and other companies alike?

When do partners decide when an associate is good enough to make partner? I’m a senior and it is extremely clear to me when an associate has it or doesn’t, and moreover it doesn’t take eight years to figure it out; it takes just one or two matters for me to know if they’re adding value or are ultimately just a commodity. It’s hard for me to avoid the conclusion that associates are largely being strung along by partners who are going to can them at some point, long after that decision is made.

One doubt If am automation engineer 12 years yoe. In JPMC for 12 years Manager role is it possible? Or else 12 years also consider as individual contributors in JPMC ?

Any thoughts on KKR CPG?

I am struggling to find a job in UX, I received my Master's in UX Design from Kent State University last year with a 4.0 GPA but that doesn't seem to matter. I have applied to hundreds of posts with barely any replies back. My education has taught me a lot however I feel I need the work experience to be taken seriously. I have applied to many junior and intern positions with no luck. How do I break in to the UX field with an education but no job experience?

I am looking to get into Project Management for homes/commercial. I am young but have many years of management experience already. I need to get my foot in the door and learn the ropes to attain my goal of project manager one day but am having a hard time knowing what careers/companies are out as a stepping stone to get into this industry.

Why does everyone actually stay in consulting? Seems like everyone just complains about how it ruins your mental health / relationships / hobbies etc. Is the pay that attractive?

Hello fishes,

What does one have to do to enter into data science in Faang companies? Has anyone here managed to transition from service based to faang companies? If yes, what's the secret??

Thanks in advance!!

Going from audit to FAAS or CMASS after 1 year of audit experience vs 2 years - any difference in terms of how difficult it is to make the jump?

I work as a marketing manager on a team that partners closely with PMM and have developed a lot of experience with GTM and strategy. Though I don’t have direct PMM experience, I want my next role to be in a product marketing capacity. How can I break into this role?

Any in-house attorneys ever consider going into (or back to) private practice at a firm? What are your pro/con arguments? What terms would you consider most important in your decision to go to a firm? For context - I'm 15 YOE and have worked in government, a very large firm, and most recently in-house. My firm experience wasn't good, but that firm is a machine and doesn't treat attorneys well. Appreciate all the great perspectives from this group.

Looking for insight here guys: I’m at Verizon Wireless corporate currently and looking to move back into AT&T but for B2B. I’m looking and only seeing the training coming up for 5-7 months in Dallas. Is this accurate ? I need some help want to make this jump asap. Please and Thank you so much.

I have a BS in Kinesiology and an MBA in Healthcare Administration and have worked in neuro clinical testing for 17 years. I’m looking for a direction to be pointed in for a career change, ideally something that can be done remotely and doesn’t require a ton of other specialized training. Coming up short on my own searches. Any suggestions?

Best books on leadership and sales skills?

I'm thinking of a career shift from Sales into Marketing, CS, or Sales Ops, and I want to be sure any change is a side step/step forward rather than backwards. I don't have a "mentor" who's well established in anything business related that I can talk with transparently. Any thoughts from those with more familiarity in the field?

Someone please tell me if I am crazy. I am at a family law firm with approximately 25 attorneys. I previously worked at small shops where I essentially handled everything myself with no support staff. Now at my current firm I have a paralegal who really only makes my job more difficult… am I crazy to say that I don’t need a paralegal as I am comfortable operating as a solo and pay me slightly. I’m already pretty much operating on my own anyway. Feel like it’s a win win.

Anyone hear of any hold co layoffs yet? I’ve heard independent, but no hold co agencies.

I am an personal lines account manager/client manager (property and casualty) going on 6 years experience and I am being paid $53k a year. I am living in CA and work for a large corporation (about 1500 employees). Do you think that $53k is low or seems like adequate pay?

Anyone interested in a role as an incident response lead, shoot me a DM. Looking for the following qualities:
Engagement delivery experience, attention to detail, general cybersecurity background doesn’t have to be pure DFIR skilled.

I often see posts about people getting 350K exit or 450K or more in FAANG. Are those strategy folks from Big 4 or are there cyber folks too getting these exits ? I am making close to 200k as M3 in cyber . Not able to anything that would pay more than this in non-consulting ? What roles should I target ?

What would be better move to continue getting good technical exp but also move up over 3-4 years before going to steady industry role towards security architecture? Currently new M in big4 cyber trying to figure out next step. Go to another big4? MBB? Cyber focused company? FAANG?

How much time does it take for offer letter to be released? It's been 2 weeks that I am waiting

I am looking for good place to get facials (chemical peels) in old town?

I had several interviews with Deutsche bank and they have verbally offered the job about 2 months ago. I noticed on Workday Tuesday the status says "offer in progress". In the time between, I did get some calls the offer is still in progress and is slowed down due to manager out of office (among other things). How long should I wait until I need to call back and get an update? And this type of situation commonplace?

How do I politely ask for what was a verbal warning "improve or we take next steps" in writing?

The fdbk I received all seems directly tied to my emotional dysregulation that I am just putting a name to let alone not knowing how to fix it (because if I knew that it wouldn't be a problem).

So I want my mgrs to put it in writing and how exactly they plan to measure it (other than they will "hear" it from ppl).... Cuz internally I can't separate what I'm feeling from what I think they're saying

Great idea for a bowl. I used to race AFM in CA - I miss it.

Hi, looking for recommendations for wine tasting tours from Florence to Tuscany. Prefer small groups or private with transportation. Anyone have any they have done in the past?

My 5yr old son and 3 yr old daughter love watching Ryan’s World videos. My son said it will be awesome if Ryan can come to our church. I’m not sure if Ryan is a Christian. I told my son that we should pray that Ryan will get to know Jesus and he could one day come to our church. Now Ryan and his family is included in our prayer every night before going to sleep. I never thought about praying for the people that are in the videos my kids watch. Jesus can use Ryan to change world.

Does anyone have experience using Microsoft Projects for large engagement management? Pros and cons?

What gym do you go to? I’ve been thinking of signing up for GoodLife but I’m allured by the nice gyms with the “social wellness” aspects like Cambridge, Altea, Equinox etc. They are quite expensive though so I’m not sure if it’s worth the cost

There’s a post in the Confessions bowl about someone being a kicked off a project for occasionally deciding they’d begin working at 3PM. Somehow I feel this is super common at law firms and no one bats an eye???

When you were applying to law school, were you rejected from a school you were certain you had a shot at/your dream school? How did you cope? Trying to reason with someone younger than me that it is not the end of the world.

Anyone ever apply for and receive a job at a company for which your prior firm (that let you go) does work? Is this even possible? Is it super awkward? What are some tips?

Suppose my hypothetical AssociateOP, LLP firm had a revenue dip in April and May, but we got things back up and running again and made bank in 2020, so our revenue and profit was about the same as in 2019. Would a "sorry there was a pandemic, no bonuses this year even if you made hours" fly with associates or should the firm be honest about its numbers?

Anyone else sick of the “We’re all in-house counsel” joke?

I feel like I’m the only one in my office that really understands what’s going on. I live downtown in a major city and saw the extreme violence out my window. My office got vandalized and nobody in my office really seemed to understand. I felt like they were all looking at me like I was overreacting because I did not go into the office today even though we’re all back open. Does anyone else feel this way? How can we get my office to understand?

Does anyone have experience where, when one thing goes “wrong”, and not even that it was wrong a mistake, but a complication, you feel overwhelming dread, stress and you shut down and can’t function? When you’re in litigation, this happens so frequently but I can’t control my reaction to anything! Help!

If I want to change practice areas, what is the smartest way to do this? Do I just apply to positions in the relevant practice area and talk about how my skills from my current practice area transfer?

Any Chicago midsize or BL firms that hire current 3Ls/soon-to-be graduates? It seems like most of these firms only hire those in their summer associates program.. or work elsewhere and then lateral.

Been practicing complex lit (employment and consumer class/representative actions) on the plaintiff side for last 6 years of my 7 year career. Just accepted a defense side offer, with a billable requirement/initial bonus eligibility of 1750 hours. I know billing is different on the defense side than simply recording hours toward a lodestar on the plaintiff side. How many "real" total hours is 1750 billable hours? I know it's supposed to be relatively low, but not sure what it really means?

Has anyone made a successful transition to a legal recruiter making over 100k a year?

How did you know switching firms was the right choice? Making a switch here soon and I’m little nervous/terrified.
