So I boomeranged back to PwC after 2 years away and 2 layoffs. I took a role that I knew would be a soft landing and allow me to rebuild confidence even if it wasn’t my long term ambition. Successfully rebuilt confidence and was promoted to SM within a year. But now I’m not being challenged and have that ‘grass is greener’ feeling. I feel like a hard internal pivot is going to piss people off as much as if I left to a competitor. How do I play this ?

My Boss is a LP, revealed my firm-wide consulting part of my role is really for boss to collect info on others, disseminate and delay other competing projects. Starting to affect my rep, what do?

I’m trying to get a Financial Analyst position and I heard back from Deloitte for the EFA (Enganemnt Financial analyst) role. I have no experience as an analyst so I figured this could be good way for me to break in. Does anyone have any experience from this practice? Salary/wlb/career path. I figure at the very least I can use the it for good foot in the door and a decent exit opp, as I know big 4 is notoriously a 2-3 year gig

How do I break into a Financial analyst role? I have a pretty diverse background.

I have an interview for a LTC/Rehab Nurse Manager, Infection Preventionist position next week. My base salary is $40/hour as a charge nurse.

How do I leverage that to avoid a pay cut. Also, any tips from people in this position?

Why is it recommended you give a company 2 weeks notice when you are leaving but at the same time, when they are laying you off/firing you, they typically do it on the spot. I have known countless people layed off/fired on the spot over the years (especially after busy season) and everyone else when they leave give 2 week notice. Why should we relinquish power to corporations? Corporations really don't care about us. They pretend they do.

How to pivot into consulting with corporate operations experience?

My manager asked me to ask less questions. Lately I am receiving negative feedback that I find unfair. I've a different perspective and this request doesn't go with my personality, my role and with the fact that I am working remote. I am very independent, but I need validation on final things I do as I am not a manager plus, I am a curious person who likes to interact and to learn more. For me questions are a way to improve and to find new perspectives. This makes me feel sad and not motivated

I have 13+ years in audit (internal and external), SOX, public company readiness, risk management, risk assessment, sale and purchase advisory, accounting conversion projects, etc. Currently in an internal audit role, but would like to pivot to something more core accounting related.

I'm wanting to get into tech but all of my expertise is healthcare with various licenses, it seems to be the only field that would at minimum be a lateral pay change at entry level but I'm not sure how to go about making the change. I'd been looking into apprenticeships where I could learn on the job. I'm most interested in developing. Any suggestions of companies that have apprenticeships? If it helps I have some computer knowledge and built my own gaming pc and made a friends business site.

I've been working different positions here for 20 years. My boss has been fantastic, but tentative plans that we had made for my career stalled when his boss was poached last year. Now I'm frustrated and underpaid, but with no plan for how to resolve it.

I've reassured him that I would keep him in the loop should I be looking to leave. Well, I've got one final interview left with another company and they are offering me >50% more than my current salary.

When should I tell my boss?

Considering switching industries (currently in-house counsel) from energy to healthcare - anyone have insight? Bad move? Good?

I keep hearing this is a job seeker's market but even with 10+ yrs project mgt experience, certs & great references/reccos, I get no traction for roles more senior than 'Project Manager'.

Anyone else having similar challenges and/or any advice? TIA!
