Landed at ORD, 8pm, potluck with Hotel food or eat at ORD...... 🤮

Moving to San Diego from Santa Barbara. Looking to be relatively central so I can meet people, go out for drinks or other fun active activities (I'm a runner) What are your thoughts on the vibes in Banker's Hill vs. Point Loma (liberty station) vs Little Italy vs North Park? Is there somewhere else I should be considering?

Travel and TTC combo haven’t worked. After 6 months, the only offer I got included 4 weeks paid and FLMA only after 1 year. So 1) go and risk laughable benefits or 2) stay but risk TTC. So shitty 😭

Any advise on the best credit cards to use after consulting? Not sure if the travel credit cards are still the best value with the reduced travel.

I’m looking for some new things to read or listen to — doesn’t need to be ad-related. Books, podcasts, whaddya got?
I’m not really into fiction, but open to anything. Last books I enjoyed were Junior and Moonwalking with Einstein, last podcast I binged was Startup (Gimlet).

Best Marriott hotels in downtown Seattle for a weekend trip?

Any fans of the series "Corporate" here? It's so deliciously cynical it genuinely makes me happy.

Looking for referrals for a Technical Sales Executive position that is Remote (USA), possibly in the industrial sector. Last year I made $109k at AT&T so I'm hoping to at least stay in the same ball park but want a change. I have lots of experience selling IT/telecom, but I also have a Mechanical Engineering background so I'm a good fit for a wide range of technical sales. I have been thinking a role in the industrial sector with a longer sales cycle may be a good fit, can travel up to 25%

Time to party, bring in the booze, because we already got the peanuts.

Hi! Can someone recommend a source for learning how do simple, fun music lessons on Zoom? I teach first grade and use music for my transitions. I would also like to play songs for them with my guitar, but am concerned it won’t sound good on zoom (the guitar, not my voice, which is bad, we established that long ago)

I have been on a local client since forever and now considering to travel to work on projects I like. Can anyone tell me how miserable or fun traveling is?

I'm torn on the Dr. Pepper work. Nice overall campaign. But soccer being a gateway drug to lacrosse has me laughing and conflicted simultaneously.

Anyone here playing PD/FD rp on GTA? Going to be building my PC soon looking for a good gaming community. 🤝

Trying to figure out from a client relations perspective how much I need to be fluent in Google Analytics and the planning and buying process of paid media: social and search.
I want to be more fluent and speak eloquently about it so that I am well rounded in my role.
My current position doesn't allow for any hands on experience. Any advice would be appreciated in terms of how to gain the experience or course recommendations.

I left Audit at a midsize firm to join KPMG erp implementation consulting about 6 months ago. So far they seem to only want to staff me on projects with a heavy focus on technical accounting and audit. Spoke to a lot of others who have left and seems like being pigeonholed or staffed on projects not related to the actual core work of the practice is the common reason. I've been on the fence about whether I should stay and hope to be staffed on better projects in the future or leave soon...

I’ve been in non-profit finance for over 6 years, now looking to go into compliance. I’ll appreciate any advice I can get.

I'm actively interviewing with 5 companies right now, but the one that seems most likely to give me an offer is also the only one where I've so far only been interviewed by 3 white men Is there a delicate way to ask why there aren't women and BIPOC involved in the hiring decision process / whether leadership at the company is more inclusive?

Any suggestions on Tech Consulting to Product Management path (certifications, courses etc)? 6yoe including tech implementations (BI, ERP) ; consider myself a generalist.

Hi everyone, I got laid off today and I am now urgently looking for a job. Anyone hiring Please DM or comment with any recommendations. I have real estate and consumer relations experience and I am looking to get into project management.

Hi All,
Can anyone help me with a referral in PwC.Thanks in advance

I’m new on the job search and still employed. I’m looking to grow further in the logistics industry. While I look for work, it’s a bit discouraging seeing how hundreds of people apply for positions I see on LinkedIn. I still apply because you never know and AI plays a huge effect in selections. Should I even bother applying when there are more than 100 applications?

Hi there, I'm a self taught software engineer with almost 3 years of professional experience and have 3 companies (full-time) in my resume.

I'm thinking of moving forward now. So, could you please tell me what the job market would look like for me? And what things to consider while applying?

Thanks!

Gratitude thread: what are the top three to five things you’re grateful for as you reflect on the last two weeks?

Be honest, does company name matter. Looking to exit and some nice startups have approached me. They have less than a 100 employees. Pay is double my current pay.

So much baggage brought into the relationship. 2 years in and just discovered a whole lot more. Its been mentally extremely difficult and it’s changed me as a person. Just venting but feel hopeless and I know my SO is suffering. Wish there was a solution but I’m losing hope

Fiancé’s milestone birthday coming up. We both love experiences and enjoy the city. Welcome all the help to make it special for her!

Just started my 10 straight days of the “no pants dance”! Otherwise known as a remote week. Haven’t had one in a very long time.

How much do partners make on average?

Officially made Diamond status with Uber! 🙌

Are there any good movies or novels that show skill development - like follow through? Self-management? Money management? I read a lot of self help books so I know a lot of the theory, and books peppered with examples help, but I feel like most 1 paragraph examples don’t five justice to how hard it may be to change a behavior.

Got laid off on Friday. Three days and I'm already bored out of my mind. Besides Jim, what are people doing to pass the time in between job hunting?

Is my 401(k) match based on a sum amount (i.e. 6% of 100k = 6000) or from each paycheck?

Has anyone here applied for security clearance and been denied? What happens if you’re denied the clearance?

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

Taking PTO until I get paid for a referral bonus (currently am on the bench). I'll be out of pto, so the Friday I get paid I will leave without any notice. Is this bad? (Continued)

Bartender at the hotel finally knows my name and face. Am I a real management consultant now?

Has anyone rented out a space at a Marriott hotel for an event? Aren’t you supposed to get Bonvoy points based on the amount you spend?

90% utilization, great snapshots BUT no relationships with the partners in my practice + currently on beach. Everyone I've worked with is shocked. Was told there were HC quotas. Not meritocratic.

I feel stuck as a Strategy Manager and want to make a career pivot at 35. But have no idea what i should do? Any suggestions, resources or books that I should read to help with my existential mid thirties crisis? I have experience in technology consulting, corporate strategy, freelance consulting and law. Do I go back to being an Attorney, or do I retrain and become a financial advisor or something else?

Do any of the top consulting firms hire into the Engagement Manager level after an M7 (if they had manager experience elsewhere)? I know MBB probably doesn’t but what about other tier 2 firms after that - and asking for US or Canada

How does one find a financial advisor who isn’t trying to shove financial products down your throat. I just want an unbiased opinion. Possible?

What kind of jobs at Google and other tech giants do people take after working in Consulting? I want to make a switch but all of my projects have been based on financials and I’m not sure what (cont)

Anyone know if S&O, Human Capital and Tech are going away?
