What are some good boutique consulting firms for change management and organisational transformation that pay well at the manager level?

Anyone have any idea what a senior strategy consultant at HSBC pays? I’ve had a browse through glassdoor but would be good if there’s someone that has received an offer etc to give a more accurate idea. TIA

I’ve heard salaries have gone up quite a bit in the midst of the pandemic and I’m wondering if this is true for EAs as well. There’s a myriad of data online about EA salaries depending on age/experience but I’m interested in salaries from jobs accepted in 2020/2021 specifically!

Please feel free to share:

- Your salary from any job accepted in 2020/2021
- Any offers you may have received but rejected
- Your length of experience

Thank you!

Hello US fish!
What advice would you give a London-based writer/CD/ECD looking to work (remotely) for US-based clients? I’m relocating to Costa Rica for a few months next year so trying to make the time difference work. I don’t mind what sectors but, ideally, short-term writing gigs. Any tips on approaching clients/agencies? Which recruiters are worth reaching out to or are they all in league with Satan? Should I just give up now and get a job counting turtles? Thx

Goes to PE bowl out of curiosity, I only feel pain looking at my paycheck now

How many times is too frequent when you speak to your coach / team about manager promotions?

What diwali gifts/goodies we can expect from cognizant this year?

How can I break a habit? I tend to subconsciously reach for the TV every time I get a meal. Watching TV makes me eat mindlessly (and more than I’d like to), and I also now feel hungry if I watch TV during non-meal times. Have tried to be more conscious about it but it’s so hard

I’m a newer registered nurse (2 years) and want to get into remote work. I keep getting denied due to lack of experience but to even get the job I have now (case manager) the company knew one of my family members and they gave me a chance to interview because of that. For these remote companies where I don’t have connections how can I transition over?

Hello everyone..... is any PE company hiring only remote?

Can we start a thread for all the acronyms? Y’all lose me with all the lingo 😂

Having a sad night 🥲

Any good Chinese food around/near Arlington? I’m looking for stuff like lo mein, Singapore rice noodles, etc. not sketchy hole in the wall, but decent hole in the wall

I am looking into the CCP (Certified Compensation Professional). It seems to be quite an expensive exam.

If anyone else is studying, let me know and maybe we can share study materials!

For those who have taken it, are there any cheaper or alternative study materials to any official guides you would recommend? I went this route with the PHR and SHRM-SCP and passed each on the both try, so I wanted to see if that method may be viable here. Any recommended order to take courses in?

For anyone that left consulting to work in product management. How is it? How is the work? Wlb - people - culture .. etc
