How hard is the path moving from tech Consulting to Product companies like Amazon, Facebook and the likes. Do such companies value the consulting company tag??? Is it easy to get interview calls ?

I have a friend that made the switch and they really didn't value that he was in consulting. If anything, it made it harder because you have to show how you're different from every other dime a dozen ex consultant.

Did you make products while a consultant? If no, not so great. I've made a few, had a phone screen, then they cancelled my interview. Said they did want to waste my time given # applicants with way more product experience. Very clear they valued strategy, client/business, and other experiences less.

.

I really want to know the answer to this

I just answered it. Did you read? Do you me spell it out for you?

1. Hard. 2. No. 3. Yes.

My AD coworker (not currently my partner) just got hired at a new agency and wants to bring me along as his writer. I'd love to join. He told the recruiter at that agency about me and sent my book. I also have another former coworker (creative) who put in a good word for me.

Should I reach out to the recruiter, too? Or is that overkill after two recos? I don't want to be bothersome. But I do want to show interest..

This all happened on Friday, if that matters. Thanks!

🐠, 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…

Wondering what people think about my situation. I’ve been offered a role with a company. The job description didn’t mention college degree as a requirement.

It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.
