I’m an industry senior, manager is retiring in 2 months & new tax director is joining this week. Have been at company for 15 months. Considering talking to HR & new director for a plan to grow my career at this company; company is growing & likely we will need 2 more ppl at associate/senior levels (we have 1 associate). What is a realistic time frame to set for promotion to manager & what goals should I be setting? Company is tiered partnership, acquiring new businesses & operates multi-state.

For all my m&a finance and accounting 🐠- anyone made the switch to corp dev from IB/Consulting/or even PE? What has your experience been in industry? Why did you make a change? Top 3 pros/cons of going in house?

A 5% raise in light of 1) calling it a “substantial” improvement on last year 2) inflation running above 9% 3) peers at other consultancies getting 10-15% raises in non-promo years is extremely disappointing

Having a bit of an existential crisis - but fishbowl hasn’t steered me wrong so far.

I’ve got an offer to study a masters in international affairs (focus in economics) at Columbia SIPA (no financial aid package) or I could stay in management consulting (5-6 ywe) at Oliver Wyman.

I enjoy consulting but it wasn’t what I see myself doing long term. Longer term I saw myself either being an economist or working in the world bank.

Interested in the perspectives of folks in this bowl. Thanks guys

ZS vs OW vs. LEK? Which is the most prestigious/has the best exit ops/best culture/work life balance/etc

Looking to finally go get my SPHR having the PHR for the past 6 years. Still value and pursuing and obtaining?

I'm considering pivoting to copywriting because that's the part of my role I'm best at -- a lot of the account management stuff is draining, but I can whip out social and marketing copy quickly & I enjoy it. Wondering if anyone has insight / leads on making the jump from accounts to the copy side when applying for jobs? 5 YOE, 3 in-agency with a mix of automotive and pharma + a side gig as a published author with muliple books (hoping that'll help on the creative / copy end?) Thank you!

Hi everyone, I recently accepted an offer at McKinsey (college hire BA). Can anyone tell me what the typical pay progression is? 2nd and 3rd year BAs, then first year EM? If I have a Master’s, would it be worth it to go get an MBA once I’m eligible? Do you think not having one will hinder me as I progress/if I decide to exit to industry? I’ve also seen it mentioned that McKinsey has been cutting back on some of the perks, could anyone go into further detail please? Thank you

I work for a multi- stage life care community. I believe my job is important. But my employer doesn't. I want to make more, but there is nowhere to go from this position. The only advantage is that im the only one who understands the Inventory and order system. Im looking for another job but Im not finding much success. What can I do?

I took my first Data Science job in a very small company and I had no idea what the job should be like because this was my first.

I ended up doing software design and other engineering tasks during years, not a lot of research or data crunching.

The good part is that I realized that what I really like is to design systems and to program. Now I want to apply for SWE jobs, but afraid that my job title will be a problem. Any tips?

I recently retired and I’d like to try out acting now that I have all this extra time to pour into it. What can an older guy (65) do to pursue a career in acting?

Those of you who left for industry, what do you work towards in your role? I was reflecting on my time in public and there was always something, whether it was a new section in the file, getting more client contact, getting invited to a big golf outing, running the jobs, managing the jobs, etc. I worry that leaving would leave me bored and not motivated to hit any sort of goal. I’m burnt out and worry that I’m making a rash decision lol. Thoughts?

720 GMAT, 3.7 GPA in accounting (small liberal arts school), CPA, 8 YOE with strong career growth. Entrepreneurial side projects that I’ve worked to get off the ground (pitched to investors, built MVP, incorporated and brought on devs with equity, etc). How long of a shot is GSB or HBS?

Let’s say I want to join MBB (and that I have enough of a consulting background to know what I am doing, since I come from Microsoft Consulting Services and another consultancy way before that).

What would the prospects be for someone who’s had 25y+ experience in technology management, digital transformation, actual hands-on cloud analytics expertise and a deep industry alignment in a specific vertical? (Transferable, but still a preferred area of expertise)

Any young professionals consider moving to Middle East for work?
Curious if I would be considered since they usually want a lot of experience. I'm a mechanical eng with about 5 YOE.

Looking to transition from an electrical engineer (wide range of experience in low and medium voltage systems) to FPGA or embedded system engineer. While I really do enjoy the design aspect of power systems, I've always leaned more towards the software side of EE and I like working closely with hardware. I have experience through college and personal projects, but I'm not sure how going from multiple years of power system design to a more hardware/low level design will pan out.

Any tips on what to include in your farewell email? Something not cliche/cheesy?

What are the best exit opportunities for seniors?

There are too many restrictions being a CPA firm, let’s break apart the CPA firm and have an advisory firm and a CPA firm. Now it makes sense why firms are becoming Advisory firms with CPAs as opposed to a CPA firm with CPAs.

Whatever happened to P5M at PwC?

Did tax ever reduce hours by the 1M or whatever the goal was?

Did associates and seniors tasks change to more consulting base vs compliance focused?

Did the hours reduced ever result in more work life balance with the capacity freed up or did volume of repetitive work just increase?

Did anyone that existed during that time feel the difference from the time invested?

Genuinely interested since it’s been a while since I worked there.
