What do you think about switching tech stacks vs becoming an expert in one stack? I am a backend Java engineer, and have solely used Java since I've started my software engineering career about 2 years ago. I don't know whether I should explore other tech stacks while I'm young, or instead focus on becoming a Java expert, given that I enjoy working in Java.

Hi fishes actually needed your advice if it is good enough to switch from reactjs to angularjs?

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's Master's in Management. They both have the same requirements, generally speaking, including a field immersion course that serves as a capstone in the Master's in Management, which is fairly new. If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?

Hi! I have been a clinical social worker for 10+ years with more of a focus and experience in mental health with a number of other experiences as well.

FREELANCE DAY RATE QUESTION: What’s everyone at, these days (equivalent title and market would help for context):

For those of you with “successful” side hustles, can you talk about your journey? Was it a passion you turned into a business? Was it an opportunity in the marketplace you took advantage of but take similar enjoyment as you do with your FT job? Do you find it takes away from your motivation at your FT job? How did you take the first steps?

TIA!

Hi folks,
How much Wipro pays for Europe on-site role with B3 designation.

I am not an Accenture Midwest Analyst. AMA

I’ve been unsustainably swamped for months. Partner said they wanted to add an additional, more senior associate to the team on one massive case that went from “stayed” to “on fire” in the span of a month. I said that sounded awesome and the thought of someone else having to take on some responsibilities was such a relief… so why do I feel competitive and threatened now that the senior associate has actually been added? 🙄

I was at Big 4 consulting for a year before lateraling to ACN recently. It’s been about 6 months at ACN. Now I have an industry offer for Product Manager, which has been my eventual goal.

Switching from consulting to product managment role. Any recs for prep (books, online courses, etc.)? Thank you!!! 😊😊

Let's say I can't get a product or marketing job in tech, but I could get in via sales or customer success. Does working in those roles pigeonhole you, or is it easy to switch later? If you take a job as a customer success mgr for ads, or as a partnership mgr for learning solutions for industry X, are you going to get stuck in those products (ads, learning solutions), roles (CS, sales/partnerships), or target industry (X)?

Organization Transformation / Change Management consultants who exited consulting, what roles have you taken on in the industry? I want to know what other options are out there.

MBB or FAANG (Ops role)? Similar comp structure

I really just need to switch out of consulting - can anyone here provide a referral (prior experience include BA, cloud infrastructure, change management, PMO type roles)

Is tech product manager work similar to PMO or do you do more than that?

What total comp should I expect at at a Series D Bay Area start up at Director level?

$325k TC at MBB in a non-generalist (still partner track) path. Love the intellectual variety, smart colleagues, flexibility (WFH has let me take occasional 2-3h windows during the day for personal activities) - can’t take the stress anymore. Are WFH industry roles at the $300-500k TC level really that much less stressful?
