How is SAP SDC for SAP Consultants?
I have offers from CG, IBM & SAP India. So, please suggest which will be better to join.
PS- IBM is paying100% more than my current organisation.
SAP has not released my offer yet but I had an interview with VP and he said he is impressed with me and will release the offer letter soon but they have not negotiated for my salary. But he was saying if he will give me less than IBM then will I join the SAP or not? I assumed this is a trick ques., btw, I said yes

How long is it taking to hear back from companies (Accenture, Deloitte etc.) after applying with referral? Is it quicker because of great resignation or still the same amount of waiting time?

HR is scheduling the interviews without checking time with me. One interview was scheduled and then it was rescheduled to a different time at last minute. I wasn't available at that time so I mailed the HR for a different slot. They again scheduled it for a later date without checking the time with me.

Hi..

I've been approached for a Manager - Technical Consulting position at Salesforce India.

How are the technical rounds on a quotient of 1-10(1 being very less and 10 being extremely technical)?
Should I prepare for something specifically?

And what is the current package provided by Salesforce for the same position?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Does anyone think it’s a good idea to beg for a job and put your personal life out there to get sympathy, because that is what I am seeing every day on LinkedIn and then the recruiters and everybody will comment and send the jobs and they will end up with a job or interview the next day.
I’m getting close to the point of doing that because it seems like it is working.

How are experienced hires vs recent grads treated at top consulting firms? I understand that each branch of each firm will be different from the other and it depends on the leadership. But have there been any uniform truths that people have noticed?

Those who missed the TS&A FY21 session held today, Quinney told us there were only 12 promotes (2 of which are new MDs). TS&A has approx 200 people in it. Time to order a case of wine!

We have a very broken product process. Our commercial team creates the “strategy” and prioritizes customer problems. But they always want to define the how, when, and product is the executor. What is your current process of commercial providing a customer problem and what are the steps to turn it into a feature?

Any other guys ever consider getting into high fashion/“street wear” but then just get intimidated and turn away bc the sheer amount of clothes we’d need to buy to have a somewhat versatile wardrobe?

This is a bit specific of a Q, but has anyone here gone to an ED treatment center in NY? Which one/Did you find it helpful?

It’s been 5 weeks and I haven’t gone a day or night without crying and feeling haunted by them. I can’t eat, can’t sleep, can’t produce quality work, can’t find joy in anything I previously loved. This is the worst physical and psychological pain I’ve ever experienced.

Any other integrated agencies working in Agile across the full agency? Trying to understand how this plays out as we roll it out.

Like this post if you want to TP one of Sir Martin's houses with me.

How do you talk to your boss when your job has evolved to something very different from what you were hired to do and you’re not happy without getting fired or phased out?

Any word on Swift in Portland?

Is it really that hard for managers to book their own conference rooms and send out invites? The time it takes to ask one to do it could it not have just been done by themselves?

I’m creating an ad hoc, pro bono guerrilla stunt for a video game launch coming out end of this month. If you’re an AD that wants to get some cool execution work in you book and have decent photoshop skills let me know. I’m doing this campaign on my own for the game and am gonna package it as a portfolio piece if it goes viral, which you can include in your book of course as well! The publisher might pay us if it gets results but no guarantee

This may sound odd, but can you run an agency without an ECD/CCO?? (Asking for a friend)

Thank you all for existing on Fishbowl and for being such a supportive community. It’s been a difficult year, but at the end of the day, I’m glad to have people to commiserate/celebrate with ❤️🙂❤️

Love when you get passed over for the client side job and subsequently get served their banner ads for months.

Has anyone been able to negotiate anything extra or terms when being laid off?

Client removes all copy in ads re: product description or product benefits due to pending legal review. Removes visuals of product doing its job. Blames agency that ads aren’t driving traffic/sales

I think I’m potentially about to be fired this week in retaliation from my boss...what should I do?

Do you feel it’s appropriate for a non-Latinx/Hispanic Producer to ideate or create a Spanish US/Domestic ad for the Latinx audience?
(ie Spanish spot running on Univison for Walmart) **Not referring to LATAM ads**

New pet peeve: A cta that says “KNOW MORE.” I just hear some strategist saying “research shows people dont want to see more, or learn more. They want to KNOW for certain. They want to.... know.... more.... than their friends.” Oooh the face I imagine saying all this is so punchable

When choosing company health plan level options, (they pay mine not family’s) do you go for the gold (low deduct/co-pay) silver or bronze(high deduct/co-pay)?
