I did the same. However I jumped ship to another firm - this strategy can sometimes be faster than internal switch.

My clients truly, actually, looked at me as a trusted expert to help them with very difficult problems. One client in particular would regularly trot my team out in front of the presidentially-appointed leader of his agency to have us talk about how we were helping them.

I miss that kind of relationship. My clients certainly trust me now, but I’m an expensive cost center that is also a bellwether for change that they would just rather do without

I did this. I just reached out to partners and directors in a similar line of work and worked my way over. Took about 1 year

Yea, D1. I call BS. I much preferred the work in federal, and loved my clients, but the immediate 20% raise kinda dissolved my desire to go back

Im currently studying Industrial Engineering with a minor in management. I’m interviewing currently for consulting, and theres a VC course at my school that seems really interesting but I can’t fit it into my schedule without removing the last class I need for my minor. Would not getting that minor do any harm to me short or long term? Im thinking that if I end up at consulting especially no one will care about a management minor they’ll just look at the firm I worked for.

Hello HR folks. Overheard a conversation at work and am curious what is the norm.
If an employee goes out on FMLA, obviously the benefits person sends them the STD, FMLA paperwork etc. But is it the maagers responsibility to maintain communication with the person out on leave and to get a timeline on their return or would that be the benefits team? Or maybe the HRBP?

Recently, we are seeing 2Cr+ packages being offered to IITs fresh graduates.

I'm wondering
What are the special skills IITians possess that they are par from even 10-15Yoe in other companies while being freshers only?

What work will they do at such companies that they are being offered this much?

What non-IITians with experience should do to get similar salaries?

While I'm aware that ~$100K is average to good salary for fresh graduates in US but some companies offering similar in India!

Food for thought: the US is actually one of the most racially conscious places I’ve ever lived. Not saying we don’t have a LONG way to go and that there isn’t immediate important work needed.
But the amount of allies this movement has is incredible. Keep in mind this is just my experience and may not represent others- however, in many of the other places I’ve lived or traveled to, racism is almost tacitly accepted. You wouldn’t have people calling out taxi drivers for ignorance for example
