Out of context post

Hi All,

I'm looking for suggestions.
I have completed ITIL v4 foundation certificate and looking forward to do next certification but unable to decide between ITIL strategist/ Azure Devops/ TOGAF 9.
Current Tech Stack - App support -> SQL/UNIX/ITIL/INCIDENT MANAGEMENT.
YOE- 6+ Years.

Please comment, if you have any other certificate suggestions as well for me.

TIA.

Looking to jump from a start up Director role to a more solidified company, however, I am making the transition with less than a year experience in the role… any tips?

Hi Fishes, I've been into production support for the past 7years doing the same work in the same company. I don't have programming knowledge and have basic knowledge in Unix, plsql, maintaining applications.
Which are the useful courses according to current market trend (without program based) ? Please suggest.

Best books on leadership and sales skills?

2 questions:

1. Amongst all the big PA firms, who has the strongest forensic service line?

2. CAMS or CFE or CFF?(already a CPA).

Thank you!

MBB South East Asia - What Consultant level offer to choose from (pros and cons by criteria please) - BCG KL Office and Bain BKK (or KL)?

Criterias I can think of - WLB, Money, Prestige/Exit, Office transfer (2 yrs later), faster path to Equity Partner, Projects (Quality Work/Impact), People (rather subjective one)

Please feel free to add more nuance than what I mentioned, thanks in advance!

Is there such things as FP&A positions in Big 4? If so, are there better times to make the change than others (I.e. at senior vs manager)? I’m currently in FP&A and looking to work at a Big 4, or another company that offers the ability to move abroad. My current company and many others I know about do not offer the mobility to do so until much later, which is not what I want. Thank you.

Can I take a second role as a short term consultant with e.g. the world bank or another smaller firm (fully remote) where my current firm is not competing? I’m a developer and would be able to juggle the two different responsibilities efficiently. I have a lot of downtime and getting many opportunities that seem attractive as a side hustle.

“I feel like I’m the stupidest person here”
“You are not stupid. You literally work at one of the top consulting firms in the world”
“I literally got a 6% in one exam during undergrad”
“Well damn I guess you are stupid”

Hey folks, I’m about a year into my new SE career and looking to continue to invest in professional skills.

I’ve been looking at some beginner coding boot camps and scrum product owner certs, but interested in what you all have done to further advance your career

Hi everyone!

Hi all, currently I am working on data analytics in financial data. Like financial statements and models. And I mostly use excel and Power BI. YOE 3 years

What is the most useful technical or soft skills for any mechanical engineer to have where you work? I’m curious to know what really matters for everyone and what makes a big impact on the team and business.

Specifics if you can; CAD tools, simulation, CAD speed or proficiency, industry or standards knowledge, GD&T, certifications, Microsoft Excel, presentation skills, technical writing, project management, self organization, great communication, teaching ability, relationship building, etc.

What is the culture of Salesforce practice within KPMG? How is it similar or different to rest of the company? Curious...

I’ve always avoided annuities but think this one from NY Life is interesting. It’s called a Variable Investment Fund and you can add an Investment Preservation Rider for a fee. The IPR guarantees your investment return will at least be the cash you put in.

Typical portfolio returns about 7.5% after all fees. The commission fee is 2%.

So you are attenuating some upside and paying a pretty hefty fee, but you are insuring agains the downside.

Thoughts?
