New to negotiating….does it look bad if I ask for two rounds of negotiation on different topics? I.e., base and then start date / vacay days? Should’ve done it in one call but couldn’t think on the spot.

My latest LinkedIn annoyance is the people posting about their kids wearing their company swag or seeing their company logo/name out and about (as in sponsorships).

Power out so I’m off early on a Friday! But, now my power is out…

Hello Fishes,
I am much stressed.. it’s only been 5 months to join Capgemini. I joined in as cyber security consultant with good package.
However, the work I do the tricks, logics and solutions I share with team to apply in the project… all are of no use when discussed with the architect guy. The whole team rely upon the wordings/solutions suggested by him only. It feels like my skill/knowledge and experience is of no use.
I feel like what am I doing here….? Any suggestions please.

A company was pretty aggressively recruiting me until 4 interviews in — no movement. I haven’t heard back in a week and a half about next steps. Should I assume I won’t be moving forward any longer? I emailed the recruiter a few days ago to check in, and no response. (She typically replies very quickly and I was told I’m one of the top two final candidates 😕)

Does Coinbase send welcome gifts / swag to new hires during the first week?

Hi Fishes...I am a Full Stack Java Developer with cloud knowledge.Currently working in IBM.But interested to work in a FAANG organization.can anyone suggest me what skill should I need to develop to crack these companies interview and how can I get interview call from these companies?

If you call yourself a unicorn while I’m interviewing you then from that point forward the interview is over.

I’m an active Shakespearean actor in my spare time. If I listed my pronouns on LinkedIn as Thou, Thee,Thy, Thine would that be ok or misconstrued and cause an uproar? I’m not looking to offend anyone, just express my side hustle.

If you've worked at multiple FAANG companies, what's your secret?

Does Strategy& have a Fintech practice?

Where is the excel with the best Hilton discount corporate codes

My third week on a project and I just... know it’s not for me. I’m miserable, overwhelmed, and feel really destined for failure. This is a huge project with super high visibility and I just don’t want to do it. Seriously considering taking a leave of absence.

Anyone work for EY-Parthenon Deal Tech?

Stay at big D or move back to my village back home in Pakistan?

Have to renew my passport and am freaked out to mail it in. Has anyone done that recently? Did you get it back? Lol.

Relatively new in Big4 M&A advisory doing mostly integration work with some pre deal DD mixed in. I recently heard L.E.K. Consulting places well in MM PE but don't know much about them otherwise. Was interested if anyone had insight into whether a jump to their M&A or PE groups would be possible. In terms of background, I have an undergrad business degree from a T20 school and graduated a T14 law school as well.

I am looking into buying a personal laptop. Something light, with lots of memory, that I can run a startup from. Suggestions?

I'm preparing for a case interview in one of the big 4 companies in the role of technology advisory role.

All resources I found on the internet for case studies are related to management consulting, not technology consulting.

May anyone let me know what resources shall I read to prepare for case study in technology?

Thank you.

What does corporate/business development pay look like in big pharma?

Anyone have CFP Prep books they don’t not need anymore?

Have you found using a standing desk increase your productivity? How else do you increase your productivity? I am so distracted all the time

Who keeps using the laugh reaction on every single post in this bowl?!

What are the best books on sales as it relates to consulting?

Has anyone ever hired recruitment consultant to help you get the next job? What do they help with and have they been helpful?

What can I do outside the office to boost my resume and be a substantially more attractive candidate for top consulting firms in ~12 months time. Working in disputes and valuation role but want to go into management consulting next year (post MBA role). I feel like my job isn’t enough because skills aren’t considered as transferable outside this field.

Has anyone switched to a standing desk? Do you feel more productive? Was it worth it? Did you switch at the office or at your home?
