I’m a recent grad trying to start a career in clinical trials but haven’t had any luck in the job hunt. Last year I started applying but couldn’t find anything in time and had to get a job in retail, so I feel as though that turns jobs away from me. Any tips?

Not sure if this is the place, but I have a preliminary interview with Kearney later this week for a Manager position. I’ve been working remotely with BDO for a couple years now. I’m in a major metro area. Does anyone know how much travel will be involved? I know true consulting firms are known for the road warrior reputation. Being away from my kids and husband more than 25% of the time... I don’t know if I could do it, even if it could potentially double my current salary.

Have you negotiated an extension of deadline for accepting your offer because you are waiting for other interviews or offers? How did you approach it and how long were you able to negotiate?

There aren't many places I can speak openly about this, but Fishbowl has been a solid refuge and resource. After ~6 months of interviewing, managed to exit MBB. Moving to Europe for a strategy and ops role at FAANG. Hopefully the new role will be more enjoyable and sustainable. Sharing this here because I used to see posts like this and never thought it could happen for me - but it did. It gets better, folks. Just keep swimming.

For moms who have delivered before, I am terrified of the delivery. That day haunts me. I’m a first time pregnant mom, and my own mother lost her first child in child birth, so I’ve inherited a lot of trauma about child birth. How bad is it, really? How scary? Any words of encouragement and honestly telling me what to expect (don’t sugar coat) I would appreciate. I am so scared.

Hey ladies, i have recently moved to Toronto and my background is R&D in a consumer goods industry. I had an excellent growing career in my field and I loved my job. In Toronto though, during my job hunt, I find very few jobs in the field and I'm starting to think now if moving to Toronto was a great idea after all.
It's such a niche field, there aren't many openings to begin with. I'm getting very demotivated. I'd love to hear your success stories! :(

Hi everyone! I'm in need of some advice.. I have a panel interview in a few days & I'm not sure what to do at this stage of the interview process. Up until now, I've only had initial interviews with recruiters or a 2nd round 1:1 with hiring managers & now I don't know what to expect. I've been told that they use the STAR method for answers & I'm researching that now, but a) what should I expect during this time & b) what are some questions typically asked at this stage? Thanks in advance!

We had an important project stakeholders meeting for which I prepared a presentation, delivered the presentation and answered some difficult questions in the Q&A. I ensured a few of the stakeholders that I'd follow up with some interesting links.
I prepared an email to follow up which was a collation of links, white papers in attachment etc which took the morning to put together. My colleague, who is a male who had initially set up the meeting and chaired it was to send the minutes after. (1)

Can anyone help me?
I’m 25 and have an array of experience within environmental science. I mostly enjoy being a field employee but recognize the pay is not always great. My current position is bureaucratic and technically oriented which is great for skills but not for growth. I know I have more to offer and want to expand into different areas of STEM. Any suggestions or recommendations would help, I’m open to anything!

SO beyond frustrated with my work environment I think it may be time to leave for good. I returned from maternity leave after 4 years of working at my very old-school, boys club, nepotism-friendly company. The number of remarks I got on my appearance, my pregnancy and etc was a little annoying before I left, but since I've come back it's been nothing but comments on how they can't believe I'm leaving my husband home with the baby etc. Sorry for the long post just needed to vent!!

I’m getting a new boss and I get to interview them. What kind of questions should I prioritize?
