I accepted a role with a new employer but don't start until Q2. Already signed and accepted the offer letter. With the tech stocks tanking 20% including this company's , will it be acceptable for me to bring this up and renegotiate the offer? Will it be unprofessional of me ?

Whats a money lesson you wish you would have learned earlier?

I am an HR Business Partner at my current company but have been afforded a few human capital consulting opportunities with various big 4 firms. I don’t think I’d want to make a career out of it given the long hours, however I’m contemplating accepting the role and doing consulting for 2 years and then going back to industry. Is this a practical path? How hard is the transition from consulting to industry and what sort of roles have ppl landed that did transition to industry? Would love advice!

How much did you make in your first job, and how much do you make now, and how many years of experience do you have. First job was $40K in 2008, and in 2021 I make $180K.

Is it normal for small boutique firms (FTI, Houlihan, Duff/Phelps, ext.) not to give sign on bonuses? For analyst role?

why do people work in FDD? what are the goals you hope to achieve, what are exit opps, etc? i’ve seen common exit opp into FP&A but why not go straight to FP&A? what are some advantages of being in FDD for your career?

Sent an email after an interview to the recruiter to thank her and the hiring manager for their time. In the body of my email I put the wrong hiring managers name (from another company I interviewed with). Any advice on if I should proactively correct myself or just leave it to the Gods? 😭😭😭

Are you happy being a lawyer? Simple yes or no. No qualified answers like “most of the time.” If it’s a most of the time then yes because no one person likes their job all the time, even people who are living their dream. Now if you want to say no but it might be the area or I’m tired of it that’s good. Explaining why yes or no is okay.

31 yo SM here- feel like I have lost myself in my career. I am single, I’ve let my health go & am very overweight, always hyper stressed/ quick to get frustrated, work most weekends & nights, my college / childhood friendships all seem like they’re on fumes/ like I’ve been left behind without a husband/kids & I’m the harsh / successful career girl who doesn’t come off as warm. New friends seem impossible. Out of touch with family. This is not the real me.. Advice on how to get out of the rut?

For anyone who has left the nonprofit field to the for-profit industry (tech, finance, etc.): 1) Why did you leave? 2) How did you transition out/what transferable skills carried over? 3) What is your current role? 4) What advice do you have for those of us trying to exit? 5) Are you open to connecting via DM?

Thoughts on a PMO role? I'm supposed to be in strategy by the way.

FEELING LOW☹️ My family knows that I am appearing for interviews regularly and attending calls from multiple HR's frequently. Appeared for around 25interviews, failed in all of them. In some the requirement did not match, in some I could not perform well. I have been a top performer at my current org, but after failing so much I feel low now. My family is my strength,but deep down I am feeling are they starting to think that I am a waste at my work.Don't know if this is becoming painful inside me.

I recently started a role in industry where 2 managers report to me and they each have 3-4 staff and senior accountants report to them. It’s a large company with over 5,000 employees. I have weekly 1:1 meetings with the 2 managers. How do I determine how much direct interaction and communication to have with the staff and seniors? Specifically I’m looking for examples from other people in similar roles.

That was the realest opening on any of these chats with Dan. Well done Josh

I'm a senior in tax, my wife is looking for a new job and an HR recruiter position opened in our market, would they be cool if I referred her or is that not allowed? She's more than qualified.

Has anyone gone from consulting to startup back to consulting or industry? If so, what were your greatest motivators for going back? I’m most likely accepting a start up offer and am thinking about exit options if this goes south.

Is there a way to resign without working the 2 weeks while not burning bridges? I have been having a hard time with the people on this project, never experienced that with previous projects.

A former boss reached out about a role on his new team. When it came up that I just had a kid, he literally said, “I think you’re busy with other priorities now.” And the conversation ended. Anyway, that still happens.
