I attempted to study for the CPA exam years ago and was derailed by life. I have decided to give it another try. Any suggestions on the best way to start?

Anyone else struggle with being “too serious” when interacting with clients and team members? I’m definitely more of an introverted person. It makes me wonder if being introverted is negative for the long run when trying to move up in one’s career.

My manager casually threw out that she had an exec tell her it’s fine if she wants to close my division down next year. We are a niche team in a large company. I asked her to clarify as I am worried about my team (and me) she said we would be “well taken care of” as in receive severance…she was so casual about it and said she didn’t know what she would do - we’re performing well, but it’s a small market. What do I do? Warn my team? Look for jobs? I have been here for 20 years w/niche skills…

Hi fishes, I am working in Business Consulting at Staff 3 level after my MBA.Currently, I am getting 10.08LPA fixed. When I talk with my friends and colleagues from other Big4, I feel I am being underpaid. Should I be looking for a switch outside or wait till October 2022 for a hike?

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?

I want to understand business enough to be like a Shark on Shark Tank. Have an MBA but feel like I still need more business acumen before I could analyze a business like that. What other training would help? What types of jobs would help gain that experience? Consulting? Please help me be a 🦈 🥺🙏

Hi all,

Need some advice on my next career move. I'm 31, have an MBA and am currently a SC in Risk Advisory with no M&A experience. I am good at risk consulting work but don't find it very challenging or interesting. That said, I expect to get promoted to M next year.

Recently, I interviewed with another Big 4 firm for SC in CDD M&A team and have got an offer. I enjoyed doing the CDD case study, and I believe I'd do well in the role.

Does it make sense to start afresh in M&A at this stage?

I have been a CCA medical coder for my hospital in Oregon for 8.5 years. I have been only been doing outpatient simple visit coding and my supervisors have basically stopped me and another coworker from advancing. We don't have any room for advancement and we are basically stuck.
Im nervous for reaching out to other companies to see if I can get a better offer and advance my career. Im nervous because I am a single mother of 3 and have been at my hospital for 14.5 years.
Any advice or tips ?
