I’ve had this conversation with numerous peers; that’s both people I knew from the military who transitioned to consulting, and people I didn’t know in other branches who I’ve worked with. I’d like to ask opinions on what we bring up as being the stark difference in the transition; being a manger doesn’t mean you know how to manage. We can feel undervalued and underutilized (sometimes elder to Mgrs) while constantly asking for more, but by our junior positions we’re left frustrated. Thoughts?

Just wanted to ask about your experience with the advanced ase role(6.5). Got selected on campus. How is the training and how can I prepare if i have filled Salesforce as preference?

I am looking for project/business analyst roles.

I decided to graduate a year early, double majored in Health Policy & Economics and Global history.

I don't regret that decision. Being at Vanderbilt wasn't the best experience, esp for an immigrant w/ low SES status.

While COVID impacted my plans for the two summers I had, I made the best use of the opportunities I came across. I know I am skilled, more than competent, but sometimes seeing so many rejections makes me question my abilities.

How are PMP certifications perceived in the Product Management space? Does it give you a tiny edge or is it seen as a meaningless cram certification?

Hello everyone!
I’m seeking advise from fishers. My brother in law is going to university next year. He was engineering (which is one of the worse decisions someone can do from my experience LOOL). I told him if anything he should do managment engineering which he got accepted to. He also got accepted to Mcmaster- information management systems. Which in my opinion you get a bit of everything! And this degree is picking up a lot of traction’s across tech. More thoughts in the comments

Currently a C out of the Dallas office in GPS EP SCNO and looking to move into commercial. All of my background is in commercial, so the experience is there now I just need to meet the right network which has been a bit more difficult due to covid. If anyone is open to networking in commercial that would be great! TIA

I am a M2 at B4 FDD and don’t know how long i’ll be genuinely interested in this work. Currently debating rotating into a B4 IB associate role for a year or two, then moving to PE. Is this a reasonable move? I know IB lifestyle will suck, but I don’t want to find myself in a spot where I dislike what I do in a few years and feel like moving to IB may increase my chances of landing a better gig in the future ( as opposed to sticking to FDD)

What would you say are the best combination of skills for software engineering now?

I’m taking the SHRM-CP exam today and I’m pretty nervous. I’ve been studying for three months but somehow it still feels like it wasn’t enough. Any words of encouragement?

I recently started my first post-college job as a software developer and have to make a decision pretty soon: front-end development or back-end development. I really like being closer to the user and the creativity as far as front-end. But I also reallly really enjoy math and logic and the more complex side to back-end. My dream would be to do full stack but thats not an option. Scared of getting pigeon holed. Any suggestions as to what to do / tips?

So I’m currently a Sr. PM at Amazon and I’m wondering if I would be a higher or lower level title at a startup? I assume I should be a higher title (like Director or VP) since I’d be moving from a huge company to a tiny one. But other folks have mentioned that I should actually be looking for a lower level title (like PM) since the scope at a smaller company would be more broad. I’m a bit confused on this and appreciate any advice.

Anyone else here feel like their bosses in the feds maybe either slightly incompetent or just don’t care about the job? It sadly makes me miss private practice sometimes. Any tips on how to navigate? Sigh.

What are the chances of getting a job in US in SAP PP and QM module?

Hi there, I'm an engineer (ME+EE) with a BS/MS with experience in engineering, Program management and tech sales. I've been applying to Google and a few other FAANG companies for PM roles but without any luck so far. I'm prepared to got to BSchool (already have my GMAT done) to make it happen but want to know if there may be a more expedient way.
Any advice?

Know for a fact I do not want to do litigation after one year. Want to try transactional work because I eventually would like to go in house. Firm reluctant to move me around right now because there’s a lot of work in litigation. I don’t want to wait around hoping they will put me in another practice area and jeopardizing my chances at an in-house position. Should I be looking for new jobs?

Trying to make a switch in my career to heavily software focused. I’ve been learning C++ using some online courses and I’m learning but I feel like it’s not practical when I want to apply to a job.

Anybody out here know of any “development programs” for mid career professionals looking to transition to sales? Have a data/analytics b/g., but I’m much more social than a “typical” data/analytics person. We have a program at my company that I’m networking to get into, but believe it’s prudent to diversify options, as there is obviously no guarantee that they select me for the program.

I’m looking to buy a full length mirror but I want one that is high-quality and accurate. Right now I have these cheap mirrors in my apartment where the image is distorted to make me look taller and skinnier. Well this has been fantastic for my self-esteem for the past few years it’s shocking when I see what I look like in a normal mirror that isn’t a “skinny mirror.” Anyone have suggestions for a full length large mirror I can hang on the wall that will be high quality and not break the bank?

What's Your Take?:

Asking creatives to work on a project with lots of award potential but minimal budget/billable time allocations. So the majority of the work would be done on personal time.

Should be feel bad about possibly leaving my company? I’m about 2 years through a 3 year analyst contract and I’ve been interviewing at a different firm.

I like my current company and the people a lot, but the location isn’t ideal for me and comp is significantly below market. The guilt caused by the thought of leaving is killing me.

Any thoughts/recommendations?

What is industry comp like in the UK for internal strategy, portfolio strategy, BD&L type roles? I'm most interested in AD/D level, but also progression from there. Lastly, how does this vary by pharma, commercial biotech, and pre-commercial biotech? I've done a bit of looking Glassdoor, but would appreciate hearing about offers in the last year or so. Thanks

Advice requested: going through a background check for an offer I just accepted. I sent my initial enlistment paperwork showing my “start date” in the reserves and a second document with my discharge details. Yet they’re now asking for a “verification pin” from the US Army Reserves for proof of employment/service. Wtf is this verification PIN? Do they also want a notarized message from my recruiter? Figured honorable discharge document, DD214 and my initial enlistment paperwork would’ve sufficed

Has anyone here applied for a veteran small business loan? Are there other resources anyone would suggest as well?

I’m looking at applying to MBA programs and know most have veteran/military programs and clubs that seem to offer help with the admissions process. These are obviously very competitive schools and I’d like to use any resource possible, but I can’t tell if these are only intended for people transitioning from active duty. I’ve only been in the Reserve (with a deployment) and have an established civilian career. Does anyone know if these groups would be receptive to me?

Any reservists at Google? Can you speak to the military leave benefits/support they offer? Likewise, if others from FAANG have perspectives, eager to hear!

What are your thoughts on any “toxicity” in the veteran community towards itself. Any experiences and outcomes…

Is it possible to jump to a DoD contractor on the mission side of the IC for $200K? I’m at 4+ YOE in consulting, and simultaneously 4+ YOE as an intel reservist.

I love working the mission but I also want the big paycheck. Am I being unrealistic or is something like this attainable?

Are there any other Coasties here?

Anyone got any old MOPP gear and a pro mask laying around?

Veteran 🐠 how do you talk about your military experiences when you’re dating? I was an infantry officer that served in Afghanistan. I don’t put anything about being a veteran on my profile, but it’s still part of my story when they ask what I did before consulting. This frequently turns into one or more of the following responses: “I had an ex who had PTSD” or “Don’t most of you have PTSD?” or “I thought you all couldn’t read?” This has happened a lot. Need some help navigating. I live in DC.
