“I will spend some time improving the missing skills and aim for more management opportunities, please keep me in mind for any further roles on your team!"

^ would this be too much? Since I kept close track of who they end up hiring. But I really wanted to role and some timing just didn’t work out.

Well, the other candidate might have been selected for some other skill set. What if its not management skill set?
You can ask for if there are areas in which the VP would recommend that you should work. (It seems you really liked this role. Take a breath. Everything that I am suggesting you yourself can come up as well :))

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

Additional Posts in Consulting Exit Opportunities

I work on a consulting team at a large software company. I’m a job hopper, around 2 years each at my first and second jobs and a little over a year at this job. I recently found out they’re shutting my team down. We’re not fired, but they’re transferring us to the core implementation team, which has a horrible reputation for malignancy, overworking, and isn’t at all what I was hired to do. How hard is it going to be to for me to find a new job? Should I just stay and try things out? What next?

🐠, need opinions/advice. Persistent recruiter asked me to consider having an exploratory convo with a company for a VP role even though I’m not looking to make a switch. That casual convo has morphed into two interviews this week, one with an SVP and EVP and one with the global head of the practice. It would be a $65k bump in salary. Worth going through with it? Should I mention that I’m not actively looking to leave my current job? Been here 6 months…
