What happens to remaining paid leaves and sick leaves after year end, that is 31st Dec. Do they lapse or get added to next year's leaves or is it compensated?

Hey fish, I’m coming up on a year post PhD and this job has drained a lot out of me. There’s not a lot I enjoy: overpromising partners, annoying clients, endless iterations (from either client or partner), poorly scoped KOL interviews, long hours… The only reason I haven’t quit is the US healthcare system’s reliance on employer provided insurance. Where can I go with ~1YOE post PhD? It feels like nearly every job requires a lot more and I just don’t have it in me to push through another 1-2y…

Cross-posting: What was your narrative in interviews for wanting to leave biglaw? Presumably you didn't just say I hate working 60+ hours per week in a disgustingly inefficient, top-heavy organization.

I survived the cull and consider myself lucky for that.

Anyone who hasn't, please post here with your background and industry alignment.

I'm sure many others on here would be willing to put you in touch with personal contacts to help you get back in employment.

Now more than ever, remember that this too shall pass.

Am I particularly uptight, or is writing meant to be done alone, without a partner talking to you? With past partners, we chat through script notes and then I go off to execute. Current partner likes to sit and chat as I write. To me, writing is crafting a conversation. So I can’t talk to you and simultaneously talk to this audience. Of course I can just say “I’m gonna go write.” But since we’re both CD level, I’m like…is this his first rodeo? Maybe other writers are different though.

Anyone with experience in negotiating salary willing to dm me? It’s a role I really want to take and still pays well but I definitely don’t want to be leaving money on the table. Also, don’t want to it to be a bad look and get the offer revoked lol

Taking my shot in tech sales. Consulting was great experience but enjoyed the relationship and BD aspect more and didn’t see myself climbing to partner. Starting in a junior BD Rep role to learn prospecting and earn quota history. Took a big paycut for the potential future earnings as an Account Exec. Did I dun goof? Probably. But I’ll regret it forever if I didn’t take my chance now when I’m still single and young-ish.

Typical / best exit opps from Strategy consulting in FS sector?

Looking for help to think through exit opportunities:
Big4 Transformation Director, current 220 Base, 10-30% bonus. New York.
Any constructive thoughts on how to pitch transferrable skills to: PE (Ops), Biz Ops, Start Ups or even IB without the modeling experience?

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.

Product marketing or product management? Which is more strategic and less technical at most big tech companies?

Need help thinking through this…Debating leaving to a tech startup. Very early stage ($3-7M ARR), would have a big role leading strategy and Ops. It’s a cash paycut, which is a bummer but the equity would be pretty good. Just nervous about leaving before hitting the full manager role and taking a paycut in this market to bank on equity. For those of you have left, what kind of questions did you ask yourself to know it was the right time?

Do most people take a pay cut when moving from consulting to industry? We earn so much that sometimes finding roles that pay at-level is difficult.

Thank you FB family. After a two year hunt for the right opportunity, I am happy to announce that I have accepted an offer at FAANG (TC - 280) . The road wasn’t easy especially the last 2 months. I took the interview overseas (basically 2am - 3 am calls), was recovering from a surgery and finally contracted covid. I got some good advice from folks over here CONTD...

Just wanted to vent- I work for Big 4. Applied for role that seemed really interesting. Weeks pass. No reply. SO who works at MBB and did not apply gets a message for same role: “want an interview?”😞

What do you tell a recruiter asking about other potential offers/interviews? For context, completed my rounds of interviews with this company and they likely want to know my timeline to provide a decision
