Not difficult

Not if market is contracting

If you already have an interview then yeah you should be good! All based on how you interview at this point.

Do you consider S& or Eyp big 4? If so, it’s pretty simple i think

once you’re interviewing, you’re good, just tear up the case. Your brand won’t matter too much.

Imo for mbb, it either helps or does nothing. But it won’t hurt.

Depends on your level. If you're junior and MBB is your goal, I would apply there as well as other leading firms like S&, LEK, Deloitte S&O. In case you don't get in now, it should be a bit easier to get into MBB out of one of those firms.

Interested in similar jump. Kpmg, would you mind if I DM’d to learn about what steps you took/how you framed your implementation work on your resume to secure an interview?

I am joining McK soon. Not strategy, implementation for both

Interesting. Can you DM me and explain your path? Did you come in as an integrative consultant on a generalist path, business analyst?

I am currently working on my MBA in a professional evening and weekend program at a highly accredited university. I am thinking about transferring to a much smaller private online program, specifically because they offer a concentration in organizational health, which directly builds on my doctoral research. Does great depth and specialization outweigh the value of a highly respected generalist degree?

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree.

I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

For the people who earned the SHRM-CP, did you feel it was worth it? I have an indirect HR position, been applying for more HR focused positions and wondering if this would help. I got the CAPM (certified associate of project management) in December, but that hasn’t really changed things. Would love some opinions before working on another certification!

Hi guys, I got an offer from x and i discussed that with my current. At 1st current said they can only give 30% increment. I said I can't stay with this cause i got 70% and expect at least 50%(as the 70% included VP and the current org don't have vp, they have bonus). Then they said they can do max 45%. I really wanted to stay here so I said okay to current. Then now hr called me and said they are matching the offer(no vp). What should I make out of it? What made them change their mind?
