Laid off, 10 years exp, tired of acct management. Feel so lost. Don't want to go back to agency side. What should I do? I feel like 💩

Hello Are they any other HR licenses that are as valuable as the SHRM and HRCI ?

Seeking direction in selecting the most cost effective and fastest route to become an MLS. I have a international STEM BSc (2014), 3 years of research lab experience, 1 year hospital lab experience and 2.5 years veterinary diagnostics experience. I live in Michigan and was told by two schools that my credits have to be less than five years old but I think they are trying to get me to pay more by staying in school for four years. Can anyone offer some guidance? Does my prior exp hold no value?

Does anyone know what companies have good finance/accounting development rotational programs? I am hoping to find something in the early career & new grad sectors. I have been looking at Dell, JLL, and Whirlpool.

Accenture tech consultant vs KPMG Management consulting for top MBA exit in a few years? Which one will look better?

I’ve done PI work my entire career for over 10 years. I’ve worked in state and federal courts and I’ve traveled around the country doing MDL work and bellwether trials. I’ve had a lot of success making the idiots I’ve worked for wealthy, but I’m still waiting for a moment where I enjoy what I’m doing. I feel stuck working in dysfunctional plaintiff firms/cultures. I hate this profession/career more and more each year. Has anybody been successful breaking off on their own in recent years? Advice?

What has been more beneficial to your career and why: specializing in a service offering or an industry?

I’m currently doing portfolio opps at a solid UMM shop, but exploring making a change (potentially to a bigger firm where there’s more career progression). I was recruited to my current role, and am wondering how others in portfolio opps are finding new opportunities. It seems like most of them recruit vs. post jobs. Any insights are appreciated!

Thoughts about going back and forth between agency and in-house? Is it a good/bad idea? Is it even possible?

Has anyone taken the CDFA exam? Is it difficult? How much time did you devote to studying in order to pass?

Are there any in-house jobs that focus on strategic thinking, advisory, research, writing/communicating with business teams? Or do they all mostly focus on drafting/reviewing contracts? I’m in big law and yearning for a lifestyle improvement but am concerned with getting bored in-house

How does hierarchy at CFGI look like? Do you have director position or the promotion path from Sr Manager is straight to MD? Also, how tricky is overtime incentive bonus? Got an offer for Sr manager role for a lower base than expected, but recruiter keeps bringing up that extra 5 hours of week is “easy +20k a year right there”. Thank you for any insights!!

Hi Fishes,

Tomorrow is my first day at my new job after being layoff... I enjoyed seen this post with stats so here is mine:)

273 application

What should I pay a part time PMM at a Series A funded, Y Combinator-backed Fintech SaaS startup working 20 hours a week whose job it is to assist the CMO (me) with setting up and managing a product marketing function? This person will be the 7th hire, the second marketer, and will grow into a full time role (if they want it) as we scale. I myself just completed PMA's Product Marketing Core Cert, but I can't do it all myself and run Demand Gen and Mar Ops. Also HM experience should I require?

I recently lateraled into Big Law. Most of my colleagues are homegrown. My shift did involve a big change in practice area, and there's work that I haven't done before that I now have to do.

But, sometimes I feel stupid here, even for work which I have done previously. It's like I'm unable to understand instructions the first time around. And I have seen my colleagues getting annoyed by that. It's like I've become dumb. In my defence, I could say they're giving half assed instructions.

Keyboard shopping. Requirements: wireless, ergonomic, rated well, bottom left corner must be ctrl key, must have F4 key (none of that fn+ bs). Am struggling

Highest number of billable hours you have seen in a year?

Platinum Elite here, do you all just ask if any upgrades are available or rely on the front desk agent to upgrade you? I feel like a d-bag asking.

Can i ask for joining Bonus after accepting the offer letter? Had a conversation with HR and was being advised it is difficult but will see what can they do.

Esper and Milley need to resign. They serve at the pleasure of the President, not to subvert his authority

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!

Thoughts on Huge ATL?

I feel inadequate and unsure of how or if to acknowledge the US/Buffalo racist murders and terrorism of this weekend in the workplace. I don’t want to do disservice or unintentionally further traumatize anyone. I know my Black colleagues are traumatized. I am horrified. And yet we just have our meetings and I guess compartmentalize it away.

Bookish fish! What’s the best book on leadership you’ve read? Particularly creative leadership.

About to put down 500 on drinks tonight. In that spirit, what's the most inappropriate thing you've ever expensed successfully?

I know this is petty. And I wish I was a better person. And that we all need to support each other right now. But seeing the recruiter who ghosted me begging for work on LinkedIn is karma.

I’m sensing real Instagram burnout from friends and colleagues. Is IG a bubble that bursts? Or does the audience (user) demo just change like FB in ‘09 or so?

Does getting a VP title actually get you anything?

Do you add the people you interview with on LinkedIn? During some interviews I’ve had people say “add me on LinkedIn or feel free to connect” I’m waiting on next steps from HR/internal recruiters a couple places so not sure if adding will be weird.
