When I first left industry for consulting, I started asking around my firm about almost this same question. What I found is that this question is so broad as to be uninteresting to the people that are working in it and that could help me.

My recommendation is to narrow this down to what kind of technology and also what kind of supply chain. More importantly, what platform (e.g. SAP), skills (e.g. analytics), and outcomes (e.g. process automation) are you interested in.

You want to be in Digital Supply Chain. The role matters more than the company. I’ve been on both sides - consulting and industry (both on Ops & IT side); it’s almost always better to be on SC side where you partner with IT to select softwares, gather business requirements, design functionalities and implement / manage solutions.

Does this mean that without paying extra, the med insurance is just 1.5L?

Hi 👋🏻 Would love some support here - looking to build out a bonus structure for a Sales Engagement Mgr role - it isn't a typical sales role - this person will be closing deals but not necessarily securing leads. If they will be scoring leads, it will be organic via conferences, partnerships. Of course, we want to encourage and incentivize this person. Potentially giving then an extra 20-50k bonus potential. How do I build this out? Any suggestions or examples would be super helpful. Thank you!!

I have to fill out a background check form for a position and it asks if I've ever been discharged from a job. Does getting "the talk" --i.e. being told your future isn't at the firm as a senior associate--count as being discharged? Any thoughts are much appreciated!
