Hello All! Was wondering if anyone left scientific research for consulting, only to pivot back? Sometimes I miss research more than I thought I would (especially when project work is not particularly stimulating). For reference, I have a PhD with 2 YoE in consulting.

I am a Sr Recruiter working in house for a large co. I have flexibility in my schedule and can pick up a side gig recruiting. I’m thinking on a project type basis. Would need to be remote. Does anyone have any ideas on how to approach this? Any hot employers who hire like this?

Hi All. Please let me know any opening in PMO Project Management in Big4. I am urgently looking for a change.

does anyone know if they are still offering $500 for work home office stuff (e.g. chair/desk)? And how to claim it? My client is permanently remote so would love to make my home office more comfortable

Sometimes I feel like I am not working in an IT Company. The client for which I work for has a very old code base and the nature of my work especially revolves around L3 troubleshooting and unending POC, I feel like I am not exactly working in a Tech Company.

I think that if you work on technologies in a client that are relevant to the market and in demand (I am not asking for something bleeding edge) it is far easier for you to switch jobs, learn and grow in the career. Pls help me with this.

For new joiners If project is not assigned for more than a month means whether manager and HR will approve for early releiving and reduce notice period?

Has anyone asked to be rolled off a project due to mental health issues (anxiety, depression, sadness). Have tried my best to get through it buts it’s not improving

I’ve been with my client on a fucked up project for a year and 4 months. The client likes me but I’m miserable. I’ve been requesting a project transition plan since December. It’s now May and I have no roll off date in sight. I am interested to know what others have done to transition off of long term projects. I don’t want to leave my firm but I don’t know what options I have at this point. Your advise is appreciated.

I’ve worked at my new job for 3 months & already feeling burned out and unmotivated for one client. I’ve had talks with my boss and the account manager about some improvements and such. But thinking about looking around? Thought? Too soon? Should I wait it out?

Something that severely gets into my nerves:
1 advise clients on tech and sometimes help them debug stuff.
This client told me they tested the solutions I gave and that it didn't work, and requested a meeting to sort it off. We schedule a meeting. I just inspected their account and they haven't tested shit, I can see the same code mistakes, they never tried to change anything.
I'm pissed. They're basically wasting my time and I don't even see the point in meeting with them.
Advice?

Stuck at the office today, and my partner can't sit still and focus on our project. It's driving me insane, and he keeps wanting to bail, prolonging our work. How do I tell him to chill and work?
