Just ask them what’s more important: realization, or utilization? They’ll hedge and say “both,” to which you reply, “guess it’s time for partners to bring in more work.”

I’m saying this - even coming from a partner: they can’t have both if there isn’t work. Which they’d gladly give you if you’re being efficient. The ol’ “good work gets punished” effect.

Please help!

I’ve applied to PM roles at many biotech companies (e.g. Charles River, ICON, Paraxel) but only got 1 interview which didn’t work out. Which companies should I look to for an entry level PM role? Any good startups to consider? Anyone have any insight or advice?

What does a person do who doesn’t find any industry accounting jobs interesting? I’ve been trying to leave for 3-4 years and the only thing that interests me is people focused roles such as sales.

Public accounting is a decent spot for me but I’m wanting a more consistent schedule of 40-50 and the self centered/dog eat dog culture of my firm continues to crush my soul more and more the longer I stay.
