37 / F / $250 / media / svp

Strategy/Planning Director. 7 yrs exp. Global account. Mid-sized non NYC/LA agency. 110k offer. Way too low?

What’s an appropriate raise to ask for after a strong year? Last year I received close to 10%, though I’m still underpaid. Was thinking about asking for 15%?

Does 54k for a “Senior Producer” in Dallas sound right?

Which one is better between Snowflake and Barclays if both are offering the same package for YOE 11?

Are most of you expected to go back into the office now? How many days do you need to be in the office per week? And which sector do you work in?

I am interested in getting my SHRM-CP certification this year and I was wondering which study methods and materials worked best for those of you who passed the exam. Also, what are your roles in HR?!

Hello, anyone here willing to refer for software engineer role at Comcast?

Anyone know what to do in this situation? Offered a job at a startup, as part of the package they are giving me options. But they don’t disclose the % ownership or outstanding shares. What should I be asking/doing here?

I’m from the UK and been offered to move either to NYC or SanFrancisco. I appreciate that both places are very different so my question is only about the living costs. Which city is more expensive to live in and is the difference big? What are the a average living costs in Sanfran?

I am currently on opt expiring jan 25th 2020. Is receipt notice of stem opt extension enough to continue in the job or is an approval notice essential ? USCIS takes a while to process hence the worry

Hello all,

I’m a high school CS teacher but would love to collaborate with any and all! Glad to have a “bowl” to connect on

Will vs Trust:

Which do you use (if any estate planning) and why? Recently talked with a layer on getting a will and they are trying to steer me to a trust.

Demographics for ref: 30, live in GA, unmarried, no kids, no real estate (yet, planning to buy after market cools). I don’t envision I’ll amass a ton of physical assets over my life so really just need to say where my various $ accts go (401k, pension, IRA, etc)

Trust cost was $2,900. Didn’t give price for will.

How does your firm measure utilization? I work for a small boutique that defines it as utilization = number of billable hours/2,080 and full bonus payout occurs at 80% plus.

A reminder to all: we are going through very difficult times. Please help someone who has gotten laid off if you can!

Started in consulting during the pandemic (first job out of school). I always assumed I wouldn’t be able to have a dog bc of the travel schedule but with WFH I’m reconsidering. Would you expect the industry to go back to traveling the way it did before?

I want a dog so much that it is the very first reason that I want to leave consulting.

Interviewed for my dream job and didn’t get it. Now what

During the day I feel like I can’t breathe. It’s like 10 hands on my throat with so many calls and emails pouring in. I end up paralyzing and procrastinating between calls and just work at night. Help

I wish I could wear one of Arya Stark's many faces to see what projects are in the pipeline.

Love it! The new Uber “quiet ride” option. This will significantly reduce the posts here now that they can’t whine about Uber drivers non-stop chatter 😂

I’m so depressed, have been for years, and don’t see it getting better. I’ve tried everything from therapy, exercise, psychiatry, journaling, self help books, healthy diet, etc. what else is there?

How are eligible folks able to get Vaccine appointments?
I am now eligible in my state but can’t see any open slots at all ever in any of the sites. Folks who received it - Any insights on how you did it?

I am currently waiting for the job offer for a consulting firm but I was told it could take several months. Between now and then, I have plenty of time for myself. What should I be doing to prepare myself for the new job? Any recommendations for newsletter/industry reports/books/ coursea courses? Thank you all!

I have the opportunity to possibly jump ship to Deloitte and work in the field I've been struggling on getting into for the past year or so... But Uncle Booz is still paying for my Master's ... Cont.

What Excel add-in do you use that has smart precedents and font/color/fill/number cycling shortcuts? I use Macabacus but lately began to think $24/month is too much to pay for this.

Got hired as a digital strategy consultant. I have over 10 years of industry experience but I’m new to consulting. What courses, workshops or books would you recommend to build a solid toolkit?

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.

2yrs of post-undergrad experience at D and have offers from two FAANG companies. Worth it to stick it out for a couple more years to open up more offers down the road, or should I get out while I can?

I find myself struggling the explain things with the same eloquence as my colleagues. How can I improve my consulting speak? Any recommended books?

Hey all, new hire here! Going to receive a $250 wfh credit; any recs on what I should get to build out my home office?

Currently a third year Senior, but looking to jump. How likely can I get an offer as manager at another firm?
