I’m going to join a Big 4 in their Deals advisory devision at Manager level next year. Have 5 years of strategy experience at JPM but nothing relevant to deals.
I have about 5 months to prep myself, what would you recommend me to learn/develop during this time.

What you learn or do not learn will certainly not determine your preparedness for the role. Learn on the job. Ask questions when in doubt. Make relevant connections.

Well, obviously will learn on the job… nothing wrong with prep for a new job that you have no prior experiences…

5 months?!?! Why so long? They don’t want you sooner?

Visa problem…

Just curious but you must have some relevant experience if they’re bringing you in at Manager surely?

Hmmm, I guess I have transferable skills. I did a case study with them, while I have no relevant work experiences, I did the case well with my common senses + skills (i guess). They think I will be up to speed after a month or two. I have more than 1 offer from consulting so they must see something from me 🤣

What aspect of deals advisory will you be doing? It's hard to answer your question in any specific way without knowing.

Hi Everyone,

I am currently working at Meta as a Recruiting Coordinator under contract. That contract will soon come to term in July. There hasn’t been any talks about extending my contract, so I am getting very nervous about potentially being out of work in July. I am a first gen corporate worker, and I have about 5 years of experience in recruitment. I have also recently finished my Masters in HR Management, so I wanted to jump on here and see if anyone has any tips for landing a new role?

I am in the process of finding administrative assistant interns from our local universities.

I certainly don't want to mislead anyone on the job responsibilities, but I do want to avoid any potential negative stereotypes attached to that job title. Are there alternative titles that you find more appropriate for 2022?

What is the advice on what feedback to leave for a peer who really sucks at everything y'all have worked together on? It's about the time where everyone on my team requests feedback from each other and I'm nervous for it coming up. My manager knows that everything I've worked w her on I end up doing 90% of the work when it's meant to be split so it is a known issue. We're both at level 3 so are genuinely peers. She seems like a nice person but i have 0 positive work feedback tbh
