I've been in consulting for 11 years, feel like I can't take it no more. any thoughts on how I can move to local industry 9-5 job?

COO’s & previous SR. account executives…

I made it to regional manager for a franchise by age 22. Ran a successful financial practice & sold by the age of 33. Took 2 years off and built a health & wellness coaching platform for my wife (medical provider). Then, the last 2.5 yrs, have been a top producer in Saas sales as a senior account executive. I’ve been told I would make a great COO someday and I’m ready to take the next step into leadership. Who/what should I be targeting next?

Got offer from BCG for ECT. Read numerous comments about ECT being not attractive compared to Generalist track. Also heard challenges about billability/utilization. Any views/ guidance appreciated!
I am not super keen to become a partner (selling) and main reason to join will be working with different clients, smart talented people and a good brand. End goal (at the moment atleast) is to stay for few years and return to the industry. 15 YOE

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

How to get released from the tcs project?
in the past i have seen My project manager has not given them a release, in the end they have to resign.
I am in a product support project, i want to switch to another domain.
I am preparing for that but here also i work honestly. I got A band in the last 2 years, my lead is on notice period now they are making me lead ,i dont want that ( extra responsibilities with no extra money) but currently I am the only option for them.

How do you recruit for startups? Exhausted from lack of responses from cold networking. What else should I do? I am aiming for roles in early stage startups. Didn’t study or work for long in US so don’t have a strong network.

Friendly tip: Don't burn bridges even with those who are leaving - our industry is small (even in Manhattan) and you will almost certainly see that person again if you stay in pharma

What are the cheapest study materials to study for the CFE? I didn’t want to pay out 1k+ for the prep course from ACFE.

Just want to cry out here.🙃

I'm not good at my tech stack. I've somehow managed to perform all my tasks without any escalation/blunders but that also by some help/googling.
I also managed to switch from an Indian mnc to a reputed company and now also somehow cleared a FAANG interview,but i know I'm not much knowledgeable in my tech .

I often fail at some interviews badly.
Not sure till when I'll be able to carry forward by this and the hard wlb at FAANG companies is giving me a fear.

Do recruiters ever reply to any of these threads

Trying to transition and looking for a general progression of how you would go from essentially zero to entry level job as quickly as possible?

That should you you in the best place to manage risk now and be positioned to capture new opportunities in the coming weeks and months. Discipline, execution, and patience are key sources of alpha. Best of luck.

Recruiter shared post on-site feedback and she mentioned that she would like to do the team match and do 1-2 additional rounds of interviews because the feedbacks now are borderline and have a very low chance of HC.

Any audio book recommendations to listen to when backpacking / vacationing?

Tumi backpack or briefcase?

What are some purchases/gadgets that helped your productivity while WFH? For me its a new chair, second monitor, mechanical keyboard, a good mouse and new headset for calls.

What is a simple way to explain to my boyfriend that investing in equity with an expected return of 10% is better than paying off debt that is growing at a rate of 6%. He has student loans and is adamant that he wants to pay all of them off immediately before saving any retirement money. I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k

EY fish - when you are laid off, is it immediate the day you're told or do you get a little warning?

Anyone from the Milan office of McKinsey that can share their experience in this particular region? Also interested in how does it compare to BCG in terms of environment, pressure and benefits.

Since everyone has been posting about ADD/ADHD.... how many ppl fake it just to get adderol and zone in??? 🙋

I just want to move to ACN strategy 😪. Done BD work, strategy type projects etc. Why is it easier for me to leave to join S&/S&O/etc rather than transfer within my own firm! Smh talk about turnover.

EY and Guidehouse federal fish, how does using PTO factor into your utilization score? Does it count against you like at Deloitte or do those hours get removed from the denominator before calculation?

Deloitte 🐠, when does new manager training take place? Is it at DU?

I feel so undervalued at the firm. How is it possible that nobody wants to staff me?

Two years post MBA, high performer at tier 2 firm. Not sure whether stay put, explore switching to tier 1, or find something like a chief of staff role. Like the work/intensity, but hours are long.

Having the privilege to work crappy jobs in college / high school makes consulting so much easier. Thinking about that on tough days really puts things into perspective.

When they say utilization doesn't count for the month of May/June what exactly does that entail? I'm assuming being on the bench for those months will still show on personal utilization reports...

ABCD / BBCD ladies: where do I find you all in NYC? Where do you hang out? Hope you all aren't in NJ.
