If you know of anyone looking for marketing specialists or would like to network let me know. Id love to connect!

Thoughts on Job Market/Crypto? Hearing many layoffs in Tech and crypto. Is the power swinging back to the employers and is Crypto a risky vertical?

I read to the kids a book that ended with a line like, "If it was a good story, start all over."I told the kids I really only did that once in my life regarding a book about a teacher going to teach in Africa. In reality it was about a missionary. I hid the name of it and what it really was about. In other instances I've also explained the meaning of life is to love sacrificialy without telling them the source. I feel guilty hiding the Truth. How do you speak the Truth without being fired?

34/M here. Had an uncontested dissolution in October, shortly after began dating someone I’d met a couple months earlier. She’s 35/F - I think she’s absolutely fantastic and we’re a wonderful fit. Asked her to move into my apartment with me last week - she’s in agreement but others have told me to “take it slow.” What do you think, am I moving too fast?

Hi fishes! I’m told Deloitte will send me an offer for a Specialist Director role.

I found some here discussions about the specialist path, and it does make sense with my niche technical skills.

What I did not found is info about a “Specialist Director” level. Would any of you have information about that one? 🧐

If that give context, I’m currently a Principal Director (CL.5) at Accenture (Aka Associate Director, one level below MD).

Any virtual python classes y’all like for absolute coding beginners? Ideally something with cohorts or some human interaction element for accountability!

Anyone from Deloitte willing to refer? I'm in the Oregon market but any referral would be appreciated!

Thanks for your time.

Obviously our identity is not our job/client but as an account person who likes to really dive into their client’s world, how do you make that separation?

Trying to capitalize on my Hilton points. If anyones interested in a trade, comment here.

Here’s an entirely unrelated to work question, but one that’s entirely “rooted” in vanity. Has anyone had any experience with Bosley or other hair restoration procedures? If so, what was your experience?

What are some of the most influential factors which helped shape your career and led to a successful rise up to PPMD level ?

Anyone else feel more disconnected from the younger people after mid 40s? I understood their plight, knew the lingo, knew what kind of in-person gatherings would be fun, etc. All of a sudden I feel like I have no idea how to connect. I want them to get off my lawn and I’ve never felt that way before. Just looking for an ear.

Im a fourth year partner. The clients are good, workload is manageable, have a great team and a great boss. But I'm just not motivated to go and kill it anymore. It just feels more of the same thing. Also, I keep having a feeling that I could be doing a lot more if I were in a startup or in a different corporate role. The only reason that stops me from doing any of this is that money here is good and I worked really hard to get here. Any advice?

For partners, can you offer me some benchmarks out there for % base vs bonus and total cash comp on upper end?

Any partners transfer from Big4 or Accenture to MBB and live to tell the tale? Did you like the change? Did you fit with the culture?

Considering an MD position at Accenture and need to give comp expectation, its on Strategy side. Of course its based on my own need and desire, but like to hear from (ex)MDs at Accenture if 400k sounds like a reasonable ask for base. And can anyone help me understand the difference between L4 and L3? For reference, I am a Senior Principal with almost 2 years executive industry experience post consulting. Thanks for any insights!

FYI, all: McKinsey works for oil companies. I know no other firms ever would do such a thing, so wanted to get it off my chest. Thanks for listening.

Any folks have interesting alternate investments that do well and you would care to share? (e.g. franchises, non-financial market investments)

Are you folks able to keep up with reading books (any genre)? If yes, how long on average does it take you to complete one?

Any suggestions on how to get an adjunct teaching role at a university. Don't need money or prestige. I enjoy teaching and gives me something to do when I retire in ~10 yrs. Many colleagues who do this are big alumni donors. My Alma mater is too far away to be practical option. I'm an expert in a very in demand field - get quoted in articles all the time but have not been able to connect with anyone in academia.
