How easy is it to return to consulting? I’m jumping ship after just 1 YOE in consulting to a healthcare startup and want to know if I would be able to come back to consulting without permanently damaging my career progression if I don’t end up liking the startup life. Would the prestige factor of my prior consulting firm matter much and would I have to come in at a lower level if I do this in the future?

I'm considering pivoting to copywriting because that's the part of my role I'm best at -- a lot of the account management stuff is draining, but I can whip out social and marketing copy quickly & I enjoy it. Wondering if anyone has insight / leads on making the jump from accounts to the copy side when applying for jobs? 5 YOE, 3 in-agency with a mix of automotive and pharma + a side gig as a published author with muliple books (hoping that'll help on the creative / copy end?) Thank you!

Hello, I am interested in moving in to an ERP project or program management role. Does anyone have any guidance on books, courses, or materials that would help learn me this?

Can you use your retirement money to buy a house? (First time buyer) -- I have a DCPP Pension plan with my employer. (CANADA).

My background is in tech transactional. I joined a cybersecurity SaaS startup at the end of last year and now also handle more generalist matters in addition to all things commercial-related. I have a number of books on contracts that I’ve found super helpful over the years (The Tech Contracts Handbook, A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting, Sign Here, etc.). Can anyone recommend books they’ve found helpful for L&E matters, privacy matters, product matters, or marketing/advertising matters?

I am a CPA based out of Canada. I have 7 years of corporate finance and FP&A work under my belt. My fiancé will be starting dental school in NZ by Feb’23. Aiming to be a direct flight away from her, I have started looking into work opportunities in Australia. Can any expat here share their experience with getting a job as a foreigner? Are there any recruitment firms that specialize in working with expat talent? What was the biggest culture shock moving to Australia?

Hi fishes. Looking for your guidance. 5 years of security audit experience under my belt. Currently manager. Considering getting CISSP or going for an MBA from T5 schools. Lost as to what to pursue. Not sure if I want to keep at it with testing scanning environments. Do you think MBA would be a good play here? Please advise. Thank you in advance

What matters most when you're looking for the next opportunity -- having worked on 'so-so' ideas for HUGE brands at a big place OR more creative freedom on say, healthcare brands at a small shop?

Is it worth the amount of money to pursue an MBA or a masters degree? If so, at what point do you recommend

Hi fishes,

This annual appraisal I have got a good % of appraisal increment on my salary but I was not promoted to a senior developer (although I have been mentoring a junior dev in my team and been part of building the project by implementing new technologies and tweaks) and my total YoE is 3.5+ years. What could be the reasons? What should I do now?

Thanks in advance!!

Interested to see some perspectives - currently working at a Payroll & Benefits Specialist at a fast growing company and recently passed my PHR! I just started this role only a few months ago but am already feeling like I can take on more, but not as much as a HR manager. I’m struggling to understand where exactly it is I can go from here. I’m 25, have 3 years of experience, and get paid $59k/year.

Where does one go from here? Thanks in advance for any and all answers!

I've had 5 no-shows to video interviews for a recruiter position. It's a full-time time, salaried , 100% remote role. I have 8 other corporate roles and not experiencing this. Any tips or ideas? I send interview reminders, send a follow-up email/text after the no show to make sure they are ok. I haven't heard back from anyone. So odd.

What according to your experience during interviews has been one thing that you said or did made you get the job over 1000s of other applicants for a job, according to you? What is that one thing that made a difference and set you apart?

Just asking to learn from experiences.

I only tell people about positions I'm interviewing for that I don't mind losing. Any position I really like I keep under wraps so I don't jinx it

The question is, is graduation from law school, not minimum competency? With this line of reasoning we are saying that law schools do not produce competent future lawyers, so should we instead switch to a system of taking the bar without the three years of a measure that frankly bar associations have deemed not an adequate measure? Dash this comment aside if it is fallible, but there is something here that has been overlooked. Competence is not regurgitation and memorization.

For those who have passed the CIPM exam, what is it like (and how does it compare to the CIPP/US exam)?

Best books about product management for a good exit to industry? I already have an MBA and PMP but looking for a refreshed perspective since it’s been years since my formal education.

Has anyone attended Software Development Engineer , Alexa AI interview recently. Can anyone pls share their experience.

Yes this bowl is needed. Support needed. I’m estranged from most of my family. And one is very Sick and i feel guilt. This person hasn’t helped me in times of need nor been a good person to me. Yet I still feel guilt. Why? Because they are family and I think that is what I should do.

Hey everyone! Hope all of you are well. I recently got selected for a team that is mentoring me to develop financial choices without disturbing my profession leveraging current trends. They are expanding as they are lacking talent to meet their growth expectations. If you are open to opportunities, I can recommend your name and possibly set up a meeting. Let me know.

If one of your direct reports has another offer, would you prefer they talk it through with you first or just hand in notice?

Considering an offer from EY. Can any current EY'ers advise on the following:

1) Unlimited PTO: I will be aiming for around 5 weeks (200 hours) of PTO in addition to the paid holidays and the summer and winter shutdowns (19 days). Is this feasible?

2) Any feedback on the 1Manhattan West office? Looks really nice and new.

3) Are you allowed to work from abroad occasionally?

4) Anything else I should know ( little-known perks / benefits / things that suck)
