How do you all keep up your skills if your job is boring and you are not learning much? I have an MBA & PMP, so mostly fall into program/project management consulting roles in healthcare (my industry).

But most of the work is basically 'babysitting' others while managing Microsoft Teams, Project, Excel, and PPT. I have decent soft skills but I feel like anyone can do my job.

Note: MBA is non-top 30. I also have a CPA (never licensed). I feel like someone like me should be doing much more!

I am working for 1.5 years in a Hyderabad startup as UI/UX Designer. After Btech I did a certification in UI/UX and got job from the institute placement only.

Studied accounting and finance but worried about the future of this profession. Currently working in Forensic Consulting but want to leave.

Currently at Big 4. Have offers for a PL/Principal at MBB and for a VP role at a Fortune 20 company. The VP role is more interesting and comp a bit better but I’m told would accelerate faster at MBB. The initial plan was to end up at MBB. What’s the best for future flexibility?

Today I messed up doing a delivery. The client was expecting the supplies at 3pm in the warehouse, however, there was an accident on the highway and traffic was insane. It slipped my mind to let them know about the delay. Now, they believe it was me being irresponsible and are threatening to fire me for not reporting on time and possible losing them a client. What can I do to fix the situation?

Working on getting CISSP right now; would love to hear any recommendations for study materials if anyone would be willing to share.

I've read the book, have the official prep questions, and about 7 YOE in cybersec but honestly had CCNA and Sec+ in the past and found passing to be more relative to how I'd studied to the test than doing the actual job...

Anyway, open and appreciative of any insight.

Note: Yes I'm in in marketing - career pivot.

Any advice on how to tastefully tell your manager that you no longer want to be a charge nurse anymore? For us being in charge is having full assignment 3p-7p & being responsible for assigning pts , communicating w/ supervisor about various issues, making the assignment for next shift, and a mini report about each pt for the next charge. On the weekends, same responsibilities but 7a-7p. We don't get any additional pay for being in charge and I'm sick of the added responsibility and stress of it.

My gf and me call each other everytime we have free time. However lately she seems disinterested in phone time. She never initiates calls anymore and she tells me she wants to hang up in the middle of the day and not right before bedtime. We live a 4 hour drive apart. And I told her this is like living together from a distance, because I put her on the house speakers. What can I do to keep her engaged?

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.

🐠, need opinions/advice. Persistent recruiter asked me to consider having an exploratory convo with a company for a VP role even though I’m not looking to make a switch. That casual convo has morphed into two interviews this week, one with an SVP and EVP and one with the global head of the practice. It would be a $65k bump in salary. Worth going through with it? Should I mention that I’m not actively looking to leave my current job? Been here 6 months…
