Receiving a 1% bonus actually was more hurtful than if the firm were just like “No raises this year” lol. But I will stop complaining given the job market right now. I’m thankful to be employed.

Asked acct lead whether to include client contact's boss on a 3rd follow up to client contact who's super delayed on getting us materials for deliverable. He then proceeds to tell me...

Are the rumors about a longer and earlier flu season and a hard Covid winter true? I'm not personally noticing an increase in patients who need prescriptions for flu-like symptoms but it seems to be what everyone's talking about in and outside of the pharmacy. Can anyone weigh in?

Hello fishes!
I will be moving to Germany next month to pursue my Master's and will need a part time student job to sustain my living expenses. I have 7 years of work experience in SAP UI5/Odata/ABAP areas. If anyone has any relevant opportunities or any kind of leads, please do connect. I can work 20 hours per week and I have German A1 certification so far, working on improving it further.
Thanks in advance!

I am looking to change my career from agency to product marketing or management. Are there any tips or anyone I can talk to consider making this transition? Thanks!

I went from meeting HR to the head of my department I’d be working for in 3 days. This seems fast. Does it to anyone else? It’s a super fast growing fin tech. I think they may just need bodies.

I'm currently in a consulting manager role internal to a well regarded pharma company. However, i have been contacted about a role at IQVIA for a new pure strategy internal group that they are standing up. It would be a 55% salary boost with director title and completely remote. Should I consider it? The salary increase and location flexibility are alluring.

6th year litigation associate with a lateral offer in hand. Would love any advice on details I should confirm before accepting? I was already thinking year end bonus match without hour requirement and confirm earliest year of eligibility for partner consideration.

What’s your favorite part of the M&A life cycle to work on and why? What about least favorite?

I don't understand the point of hiring candidates. Its been more than two months and i am sitting idle. There is no updates from management. I am getting info like i will get half salary this month because of the bench policy. I m confused what to do next

What is a good salary tab to be at for a consultant role with an international NGO? The profile is Marketing Communications. I have 7 years of experience and hold two MS degrees - one from reputed US private university and one from a leading Indian B-school. Although I have a 3 year gap due to maternity, during my break I also completed my foreign language certification.

This will be my first time gig in India after working abroad and also a first time consulting opportunity.

My wife and I are starting a first cycle of IVF. Given how expensive IVF is/can be, wondering if anyone has lessons learned on the insurance front—understanding it varies by plan, of course. We’re currently enrolled in HDHP w/ HSA, and have nurse consult tomorrow discuss financials among other things. Still in open enrollment, which is great timing. Thanks all. Staying hopeful.

Just found out the project I worked on this week is non-billable! I wasn't informed during the staffing request. Is this normal?

I’ve been on the bench with less than 10% utilization for 3wks now. I’m a first year and the past month has been slower with not many new projects coming in. I do see a few new projects come in every week but I’m not getting staffed on them. Should I be worried? Should I ask my PM if I should be worried? We’re in a pretty small group less than 20 people

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

How do you 100% utilized folks try to network with other folks in at the firm if you’re always at client site? Trying to get some face time with them

Hi all,
I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly. However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?
