I work for a F100 Insurance company, Manager in a Claims Operations/project mgmt role, 32, salary $105k. Screwed around in college so I had to work my way up the ladder (insurance adjuster, sales, etc), work 60-70 hours a week, and prior to covid I traveled half the month. Have industry designations, working on PMP and Six sigma.

After seeing much higher salaries and similar WLB posted on here, I’m looking to enter consulting, any suggestions on where to start, and would an MBA be worth it?

No need for mba. With your experience, you are a perfect fit for advisory insurance at pwc and ey. I can refer you to pwc in insurance, we are hiring like crazy!

No need for an MBA.

Why not just get a job? Deloitte and Accenture hire anyone with a pulse. I’d expect you to come in as a C or SC - so 110k - 135k

I’m new to this startup and was leading a cross functional project involving several other product teams with dependencies. When we got near the end with E2E testing, I realized that none of the product teams really do QA: no test scripts, not logs of dev unit testing, no documentation of testing cycles – there devs asked “what do we do about edge cases?” I raised this to my boss (since I don’t manage those other teams) and he said I’m creating unnecessary stress for the teams. Is he right?

Hi Folks,

I had joined Deloitte India last June, with fixed pay as 15.5 LPA.
I have total 6.8 years of experience, Senior Consultant.


Now I have an offer from Mindtree, with Total CTC of 22 LPA,today is last day to accept the offer.

I know the appraisal is due in Deloitte India, letter will be released on June 26, my coach said my feedback was good, also scatterplot is good.

What should I do? Should I move on and put down papers or wait for appraisal results then search for opportunities.
