Hi Fishers,

When does Walmart send a laptop after joining? I have joined this Monday. I still don’t have any updates about laptop.

Its good to move from Walmart to Gartner with 40% hike. The tech is same.

I was recently offered a job as a portfolio implementation analyst at a well known hedge fund. What would my career path look like?

Has anyone successfully sold your gently used clothing for cash on the spot anywhere in Chicagoland? If yes, where? Have a lot of nice stuff that I’m bored of but Poshmark takes too much effort for me and I find consignment stores usually take months until anything sells and then getting your money is a pain. So looking for instant cash. TIA

Hi guys,
Please tell if Harman International and Harman Connected Services are same or different

Anybody got pay adjustment this year due to inflation?

Hi Fishes,

I have a 7 year of experience in Service based IT Company. Is preparing for Maang good ? What roles and expectations should I be having?
Or should I consider working in service based itself or any other product based company.

I am really confused and concern about my future

Thanks in advance.

Just restarted stimulants and already I'm dealing with twitches again. Does anyone else get these? No type of pain or anything just every once and a while my body will twitch strongly. Afterward I feel normal, but it's a bit annoying, and I can't control it at all which is a little disconcerting. Don't remember this from when I took stimulants as a kid, but it's been a while.

Hey Fishes, What is the salary band range for a DevOps Engineer with 2 years of experience?

I want to ask for a 20%raise, knowing that the company is planning the year budget around now should I give my manager a heads up as to what I’m expecting before my salary review? I got a 0.6% raise at the start of 2020 and a 4% in April this year. The raise this year came with the title of “Lead” and more work responsibilities, talking with a co-worker we now make about the same amount. I started working here right out of college (10 years).

Anyone from Opel Automotive? How much salary do they offer for 8 years experience professional?

What’s the going rate for a commercial senior underwriting role and what companies have you found to be most enjoyable with a solid work life balance? Personally love where I’m at, but curious to see what else is out there.

When you hear the title “consumer product manager” vs “product marketing manager”what job responsibilities do you assume each person has? Or do they seem the same? There has been some confusion internally for a new team/role and wanted to get a check from all of you on perception!

What's the range for L10 Tech/London. Pretty disappointed with the perf discussion result and being told that I am already at the higher side of range☹️.

Can the group members please share their experience about the CFE exam? How many days of preparation does it require? What are some of the useful study resources?

I find myself struggling the explain things with the same eloquence as my colleagues. How can I improve my consulting speak? Any recommended books?

Tfw the client asks you to stop by his desk in 10 min and you're actually off site all week.

Strategies for work/life balance? Especially while traveling? Thanks!

"To the windowwwwws! To the walls!" Don't let the suit hood you on my rap game. "Aaa skeet skeet..." 👊🙌👊

What are some good books that helped you with consulting? Looking for some good reads.

Are local government jobs just as chill as the Feds?

Senior Associates at PwC. Thread for CRT next week. Feel free to share feedback, salary numbers, and vent. Include practice and city if comfortable.

Any audio book recommendations to listen to when backpacking / vacationing?

Are any top consulting firms hiring for experienced analysts currently? I know ACN and some others are cyclical for resources 2-3 years out of college, but I’m looking to make a move sooner than fall

What are expected utilisation rates for entry level consultants? Been here 9 months and only done billable work for about 3 months of that. Bored out of my mind for the majority of my time here.

It seems the entire country is shut down and no planes are flying anywhere. FML at PHL

Tired of all the "hate my job" posts.. Anyone here love their job?! I feel very fortunate to be part of this discipline 😁 What part of your job are you most grateful about ppl?!

Can someone please re-share the strategy vs. implementation vs. KPMG meme? TIA!

People who have made it to the perceived “top/best” place in their career field/education (MBB, FAANG, top PE fund, HSW, etc): do you feel satisfied? Have you had to recalibrate your goals? If so, what are those goals?

Do you think there will be any changes to the MBB trifecta over the next 5-10 years? Either removals or additions.

And no, I don't mean MBBD.
