How realistic is getting into management consulting from audit (1 YOE)? I plan to prep cases and network like my life depends on it for 1-2 months, but is that enough? Are there any “logistical” issues I should be aware of? (i.e. resume getting screened out due to XYZ) TIA!

Typically the candidate profiles and skill sets are different. If you can think with clarity, are process oriented, and work well in ambiguity, then you are a potential candidate for management consulting.

No raw nerves struck and sorry if my comment was harsh but your guidance to this person is just wrong. Many audit people do in fact move to management consulting and your comments make it seem like it’s unrealistic given the inability of audit and tax people to leave a positive impression in your eyes or require a different skill set. Maybe your experiences are limited and you don’t have a full appreciation of the extent people do move from audit to consulting but it does happen quite often (even more these days given the current job market). Also, I’ve seen many people who have had a lot of success in consulting after moving and are currently partners leading large accounts. If this person has a desire to move to consulting, there are multiple avenues to get there (eg transfer internally, recruit at another Big 4- I know of a few examples of auditors recently moving to Deloitte and KPMG, or moving to a non Big 4 firm).

Base on your YOE, you’ll likely come in as an analyst. You can expect about 3-8% base comps and 3-8% promotion comps. Maybe market adjustment 3-10% very very rare.
Do the math, that wouldn’t get you to 170k for a very very long time.

I'm dating a guy and we just had a serious discussion about our finances. I just learned that I earn 4x more than him (200K). We're based in Portland, OR and he's a bank teller and I'm a designer fortunate to be paid SF rates. I'd like to get married and have kids one day and not feel the pressure of being the breadwinner. How have others managed a similar situation?

I am an Automotive Engineering graduate. I have a PG diploma in Product Design and Analysis using 3D modeling and Analysis software. My previous (and only) job involved design validation and making procurement proposals for bidding on Oil & Gas projects. After this I got CAPM certified and decided to change countries and quit my job.

Any recruiters, career advisors, etc have any advice for me regarding where can I uniquely position myself/ what could be my next strategic step?

Using a property manager for the first time. They recommended some updates to my condo before listing, which I agreed also needed to be done. Came back with a quote from their handyman which seemed a bit high to me.

Do people ever try to negotiate these prices? Or should I just try to find my own vendor? Thoughts? TIA!

I've been out for 7 years and have hooked up with a lot of guys. But never been in a relationship and never really cared to be in one. But everyone I know (gay or straight) is getting into serious relationships and/or engaged.

What's wrong with me? Why is it that I don't even try to date (banging is great I guess)?

In tech trans at a big firm, but my work is almost all M&A deal support. I read, review, and mark up countless agreements, but don’t get to draft any. Am I still in a relatively good position for going in-house at a tech company, or are in-house tech jobs reserved for people doing tech trans at the Cali firms (Fenwick, Cooley, etc.)? I’m developing IP-related skills, just not drafting...
