Looking to leave working in NYC, now that I have a family, the lifestyle isnt for me. Any recommendations on cities to move to? Also cities that are hiring for folks with 8 YOE (not all consulting)
Ideally looking for program manager type roles, was thinking Atlanta or LA or Denver or Austin.
Would love to hear ideas for cities/companies/roles.
I just know I want out

You got any leads on jobs? Cold applying has not been working for me

OP, what are your criteria outside of the job stuff? Answering a couple of the below will help fellow fish make recommendations 😊

- Are you looking primarily at big cities?
- Are you looking to put your kid(s) in public schools?
- Are outdoor activities important?
- Are you looking to buy a home, if yes, what is your rough, ideal budget?
- Any time zone preference?

Would suggest Raleigh - low COL, many outdoors activities, 2 1/2 hours to the beach, 4 1/2 to DC, good schools, plethora of lakes within 10-15 minutes of downtown, pharma / LSHC strong in this area.

Look into PPD - they generally hire for Morrisville (Raleigh “suburb”) or Wilmington, NC, which is right by the beach.

Hey OP! Out of curiosity, what industry were you consulting in? Are you looking to remain in that industry or become a program manager in any industry?

Mainly Lifesciences and Telecomms but I would like to do more program management in tech or media/entertainment.
Looking to go into program management in any industry

Charlotte.

Hello guys ,
How much I can expect from Deloitte for senior data analyst position. The client is HSBC.

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?

I got an offer at Meta as a 3-mo contingent CSM that pays 2x what I make now.

Two pros: 1) Making the jump from a non-tech agency role to FAANG can be tough, so this is a great oppo in that aspect.
2) I'm living in SF on a non-tech salary, so the pay increase would be incredible.

It’s possible I could move into a similar role @ Meta once this expires, but to be safe, I'd need to start the job hunt again asap.

Thoughts on the pivot & how valuable a short-stint at Meta is for future job hunt?

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting. What do you guys think about this? I would be able to predict based on your firm(mbb, big4), your experience, which role you are likely to move (Faang pm, strategy manager, move to mbb). I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?
