When should I tell my manager / “recommendor” I am planning to apply to bschool? Applying R1 this fall

Hi all! What certifications are good if you are trying to move more into Cyber Strategy or Data privacy consulting? I’ve got to move to New York for some personal family reasons, and I want to get out of federal consulting and move into the commercial side (Accenture, EY, Deloitte etc). Looking to move at the end of March/beginning of April once my lease in D.C. ends. Thank you all for your input and advice!

Good evening Everyone, I have been a PSR for 10 years with the same company, but worked for 5 different practices. Was looking to move up in our company but from what I’m understanding, we have to have a degree in management. How would I go about trying to move up in and out of my position without a degree?

Curious how MBB's cybercapabilities are viewed within the cyber world. Experiences, thoughts?

Hi Fishes,

Looking for an entry level non exempt positions. I've been in and out of both food service and retail for years. I know what I'm worth and I know how strong my work ethic is. I do not enjoy having carrots dangling out of reach, preventing me from furthering my career. Seems all this 20 something year olds are getting what I feel I do deserve (no ego). I'm fairly experienced in management and am willing to learn more.

Thank you.

been in industry (small companies) for 5 years with an active CPA. Wanted to get in SEC reporting roles but almost every company requires 2-year public accounting exp. Now applying for public accounting firms entry level positions but almost all firms HR asked if I had ever worked in firms. Got rejection emails from firms all the time. Is this a dead lock? firms exp matters much more than a CPA license?

Fish, how many years did it take after your MBA to double your pay (in consulting)?

Hi,
Looking for reference in Analytics-Data Science.

I am a fresher with an MBA in Business Analytics.

I’m having the hardest time finding a new job. I have 12 years of HR experience, a masters in HR, SHRM certification, and all I keep getting are rejection emails. I’ve never experienced this difficult of a time searching for new opportunities. Is this normal once you hit a certain level in your career or is it just me?

Just out of curiosity, have you ever started a new job and thought what the hell am I getting myself into?!?
If it was the wrong fit how long did you grin and bear it? 6 months / 1 year / longer?
Did it get better with time or worse? (For instance just a case of lack of know-how)
If you left did you find securing a new job difficult due to only being there for so little time?

I'm a PhD student (graduating next year) looking to pursue consulting (ideally at MBB or Big 4). I would love to learn about full-time opportunities in New York starting 2023

Can anyone please suggest? If not symbiosis then can I choose any other University for doing the MBA?

Anyone in early stage biotech? I’m looking at a BD role for a well financed (~$150M runway) startup with some preclinical programs and a unique development platform.

Currently interviewing for corporate development manager at a PE portco and would appreciate insight on reasonable comp expectations. TEV is ~$4b and they close about a dozen LMM deals per year. TIA!

Where do professionals 30+ meet people these days besides dating apps?!

9 years at the firm, 3 as a manager and I just broke $100k in the Northeast region. Maybe it's time to explore my options.

Firms often share the number of employees by gender or ethnicity tagging diversity goals. Have they shared the average pay by level by gender or ethnicity? This would help provide transparency into the pay gap.

Opinions on having my own side bookkeeping business while working in B4 Advisory? And yes, I know it’s clearly against the rules... lol but just looking to make some extra $ to pay off these loans 😫

What’s the best way to go about getting off a team you don’t want to be on due to them forcing you into huge assignments you don’t have enough availability for? Like being scheduled 3 hours a week but actual is 30+ hours and they don’t change your assignments or scheduled hours

I am an acting senior and am training 3 new hires. They are not doing well, so I often re-do their works even after I give them 2 pages step by step instruction. The problem is my manager and director don't see the problems (because those problems happen behind the scene) and think all the A1s are performing exceptionally well. The A1s and I are all associates, so I don't even have a chance to give them an official feedback (snapshot at pwc). How to address this issue to my manager and director?

I have accepted a job offer and expect to start in two weeks. The new role is lateral in title. I requested multiple times for higher title as the job posting open to both AD and D level, but the company refused to offer at D level. I accepted the job anyway for expanding responsibilities.
While I am waiting for my start day, another company reached out and offers me a D role for same responsibility.
What should I do as I don't want to burn bridge, but I do want career progression. any advice?

Currently have $10k in student loans and $30K in savings. Graduated in May and deciding whether or not I should pay them off. They are not accruing any interest right now, due to interest being halted on federal student loans. Some are saying student loans could be forgiven in the future. Would it make sense to write a check and pay them off now?

When you only stay in accounting to pay off your loans, but hate every single day...
