Recieved a full-time offer for a Strategy Consultant position within the ASCDP. Should I take it, or look for consulting roles elsewhere? Not looking to travel much, looking for reasonable W/L balance and I care more about the culture/team I'm on then the specific work I have to do.

I’d say if you wanted to do more pure-strategy type work then look elsewhere (eg MBB), but since your focus is on WLB and less travel - I’d take the offer.

Why would anyone want to do this?

I regret using my MBA on this and will second every other sentiment on this. Your internship will give you unrealistic project expectations with something cool....but this is because you are a free resource attached to a project sold at an incredible discount....

Most MBAs that come back full-time will not be working on real strategy work...they will be doing pmo stuff. strategy work is sold at such low margins they need to use lower priced resources than MBAs.

The people who got ahead in strategy typically started between 2014 and 2017....aka the first 3 years of strategy's inception. Money was cheap and investments were being made to build and grow a practice.

I am a ft interior designer, full time mom that also does part time photography on the side. I currently make 90K as a designer and bring in around 20K as a photographer/yr.

I have a “commitment to an offer” at 150-170k from a BB. They said they can’t give me the offer until Feb/March until they ramp up their current hires and figure out their budget, but the HM said the best thing I can do is to get another offer to use as leverage.

I’m about to receive an offer from a different company at 100-115k. Would much rather work at the BB (better company/position). Is it even worth me bringing this offer to use as leverage, or is the salary discrepancy too much?

Anyone have advice for advancing in your current role? My co-worker was hired in at manager level but somehow “proved” he was actually doing director level work and got a title promotion and salary increase in less than a year. I also went above and beyond my job as well (covering for him for a month while he was away on paternity leave) while taking on other projects outside of my job title and got zip—no raise or recognition. Any advice would be appreciated!

I need some insight. Just had a phone interview for a management job in healthcare. I felt comfortable and felt like the interview went well.

They said that they had other interviews to do as well but said the next step is to bring me in for an on-site interview (I live 1,000 miles away) and that the recruiter would be reaching out. Thoughts? I’m going to drive myself crazy analyzing everything.
