Senior manager, haven’t done a job hunt for 8-10 years. Ideas for what to highlight in the resume, what’s the key message to give and what to leave for interview talks

I'm in a similar position. My headline is something like "trusted advisor to clients, leading teams in doing XYZ". My most recent bullet points highlight contribution to team growth; revenue won, revenue managed, helping grow the team in this space, thought leadership etc. Then the other bullet pts show off my domain expertise, e.g. "led project to do ABC that delivered XYZ".

Technical skills are way down. For SMs, it's about showing that you can be a trusted advisor to clients on your specific domain area and grow and lead teams to allow you to do that

Revenue, results. I am a Senior and recommend getting a professional coach to review your resume.

Hey A1, if they sold anything then they wouldn’t be looking to change careers, nothing to see there, maybe industry?

I always got told focus on achievements not tasks, preferably quantifiable stuff like savings delivered, metrics improved etc.

I've a question on what sections to put on a regular resume. I see some people are using consulting style resume for outside companies as well. Do you think it's a good idea to devide work experience by projets? Or is it better to have "projects highlights" separate from work experience.. something like: intro>functional expertise> project highlights>work experience>education?

I was given a promotion 6mos ago & told that the position was a lateral move & a raise would be given at my 6 month mark.

It’s now been one week since my 6 months in this new position. I’d like to reach out to my boss and set up a meeting to review my work & discuss a raise. Should I wait a bit longer or should I set this up now?

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?

Does the firm provide enough support with applications, essay editing, and interview prep or did you still hire an admissions consultant?

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.

Finally found THE one, after over a year of searching and trying out at least 5 different ones!

A nice comfortable office chair.

https://ergochair.co/collections/chairs/products/ergonomics-mesh-chair-w-adjustable-headrest-and-armrest?variant=32511617597491

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
