I've been really enjoying a program management/capacity building project I'm on and I'm looking to beef up my credentials. Any tips on certs? PMP, LSS? Anything else?

So, after a year of not so quietly making it known that I wanted to make the transition from the tech side to the business side I have officially been extended an offer to take on a Project Manager internally (coming from a software configurer). The client I have been assigned to has many of our products, however, the specific project I have been assigned to is a problem child and has damaged the companies relationship with the client. Any advice for a new, young PM being shoved into a problem?

Is it normal for PPMD to jump around? I feel like I’ve met a few that have spent time as PPMD at different firms or have just recently joined EY from another Big 4/competitor.

Currently staffed on a project near Reading, anyone up for dinner one of these days?

Serious question… if I am interested in becoming a CTO/CDO one day, what should I do for the next 5-8 years to prepare for this? Are there specific roles in tech that prepares you for a CTO role? I am currently in sales engineering with over a decade in consulting experience.

If anyone is hiring in Canada please kindly give my partner a chance. The wait, dilemma and uncertainty is taking a very big toll from us.

Hello,

I will be joining PWC AC Bangalore in couple of weeks for SAP tech stack.
I am joining from a product based company. So wanted to know how we are assigned to projects. Will there be any client interviews. If yes will it be very tough? Do we get a say in the projects we can get to work or its usually assigned and we have to take it up.

Thank You.

Any thoughts on how to handle working with coworkers who are very friendly/well-liked by most but are utterly mediocre at what they do and just want to coast? Makes me feel like I’m the difficult one.

Hi lady fish,

I’ve been with Accenture for 10 years and am about to take maternal leave. I got an interesting conversation with HR yesterday about leaving Accenture after maternal leave, and the kicker is to join the client. I got a couple of questions for you guys:

One...did anyone leave Accenture right after maternal leave? If so, what happened? Did they have to pay back anything?

Cont.

How much you guys make with 2 yoe in fed consulting. Just got promoted and now making 91k. Is that low or high for the fed space?

Anyone from Accenture federal want to refer me ? Strong , high performing manager with sfmc background, top tier mba and 15 years of experience .

For those of you with government contracts, Whats your thought on political giving in this cycle given the heightened scrutiny?

Anyone worked in the EUCOM AOR as a DOD/IC consultant or contractor? I am interested in opportunities in Europe, have a TS:SCI. Would love to connect or get thoughts on the roles.

Chances the BA.2 Variant will push back return to office date plans?? Currently set to return to client site for the first time next week.

What’s a good salary range in the dmv area for someone with 2 YOE in analytics and a TS/SCI w/ poly?

Consultants, would you join the Fed is given the opportunity?

Anyone that works for DOD have trouble getting their CAC? I work with the Navy and haven't heard anything about issuing a CAC. Did they stop issuing out CACs?

Anyone in FAANG cyber willing to refer?

Fish who have been feds,

I have been stuck deciding between two offers (both in IC, but one is more program analysis -similar to consulting work but on the fed side, and actual analysis).

The program analysis offer is at a higher GS level and a more well known agency, but is not what I’m interested in.

Does anyone have any advice on how to make a decision? Go with what I want to do, or go with the more well known agency and higher gs?

Debating between two offers, $105k at Deloitte or $120k at Guidehouse. Is GH worth the extra $$$ or should I go with the brand recognition of D? Both offers have already gone through negotiations.

I would also appreciate info regarding progression raises at D and GH.

How has your comp changed with TS/SCI clearance? After jumping ship? Looking to see if the long term salary increase is worth the clearance.

Does an MBI constitute an additional salary bump or bonus?

Does anyone actually enjoy Federal Consulting or is it just about the work/life balance it affords and easy work? I feel like I’m slowly losing my soul on white collar welfare

Which consulting firm values TS/SCI FS the most? Getting the feeling that Deloitte doesn’t
