How many of you ultimately want to be a Partner vs. view consulting as a stepping stone to something else (vs. don't know). Upvote choice and provide commentary.

Hi all,

I am currently working as a SAS developer, 1 YEO, but want to switch to data analyst role. What skills should I acquire? All inputs/insights appreciated.

Hey guys, I need some guidance. Stuck in a crisis.

I joined a management consulting firm as a fresher (4 months). I am stuck in a role which is purely secondary research based and miles away from my interest.

I have a postgrad in marketing. I need to get into the creative marketing and branding field. I even write (not professionally but have my major interest there). I tried reaching out to people on LinkedIn but nothing....

If someone could guide me it'll be really great. Thank you so much!

Are there any in house entertainment roles that are particularly good? Netflix is obviously FAANG but I’ve heard the culture is cutthroat. On the other end of the spectrum, heard the traditional TV networks pay terribly. Any other options? What about in house music roles? Is that a thing?

FAANG chances with entertainment/commercial lit background? Junior-mid right now.. when would be the best time to start looking?

Hey y’all. What’s a lateral move? A recruiter reached out asking if I was open to a lateral move. I don’t know what that means. Halp???

Can we all start talking to each other instead of going behind people's backs to tattle on them? If you have an issue, at least try working it out one on one like an adult. Shesh.

What do you do when a manager always shuts down your approach to audit work and then when you get on a call with the partner and manager, the partner gives the same exact approach you stated earlier? This has happened to several seniors that have worked with this manager and we’re all on the verge of quitting.

Hi all,

Hoping someone could advice on it. I recently accepted a job offer and it has been discussed and confirmed via email/phone that my starting salary is £26k and will raise to £28k after 6 months probationary period. Now, I have been sent the contract but there’s no specific statement about the £28k salary after probation.

It might be a stupid question but I am worried about raising this as an issue. Is this normal? Or is it better to ask for a revised contact with the specifics?

Taking some golf lessons, got a women’s starter set I got to make sure I liked golf first. Instructor mentioned that the driver is like swinging a wet noodle for me lol and I should look into a men’s or one with stiffer flex. I have no idea what to look for. Are the people at Dicks Sporting Goods knowledgeable or worth driving the 40 min to PGA store?

How many times have you been laid off? I’m seeing a lot of people describe getting laid off 2 or 3 or even 4 times in their careers...should I just expect to get laid off every couple of years in advertising?

Hello Fishes, is next Friday a holiday at SAP for the occasion of Janmashtami?

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.
