(Strategic/brand planning) Making the move from Associate Director to Director: what do you consider the major differences between the two posts? Responsibilities, expectations, qualifications, etc.

Hi all! Any tips on how to get into this industry? I practice Insurance dense and have 0 experience in privacy, cyber security, etc., but have been wanting to transition into this area. TIA!

What interview questions or tactics do you use to evaluate if your future boss will be a good manager? Either questions for them directly or asking the interviewing panel. As they say people leave bad managers not bad companies, and going from consulting means less opportunities to ask around and find out reputation (or end the project after a few months if they’re horrible).

How did you guys know you wanted to stay in HR?

Hi I work in MO at Barclays. I was wondering if getting a job at Bloomberg as a AIM Order Management System client services is a good job to switch to.

Any advice for working at a PEO? I’m recently certified HR pro and wanting to transition into a HR Generalist role to build my experience and I’m having a hard time with the job search. All of my hr experience is in higher education and no other industry. I want to transition out of higher education but I’m having a hard time. I applied for a HR Specialist with Insperity and I have an interview next week? Will working at PEO help build my HR experience or is it more of a sales role?

I know most of the questions here will be on sexism or inclusion of POC but can we talk about ageism? Once we reach a certain age should we just leave the agency business? Is that fair?

My boss asked me what id like to do moving forward at work. The department im in has gone under many changes the past few months. I was really hoping the business would put me in a place they “need” me but instead it’s up to me…
My goal is to reach the top, climb the ladder and one day be CEO. I have a lot of outside influences that make this a possible venture.
I’m currently in sales but don’t know if the right path is to continue in.
What should I say to my boss, knowing I’m on right path?

I have 15 YOE all in health IT consulting in T2, mostly running large technology implementations for providers. I’m tired of the consulting grind and am contemplating going to industry. The easy path of an IT exec position with a typical client of mine (large health systems) does not appeal to me. I find the idea of going to more innovative companies (big tech, health tech startups, provider or payer disrupters) more appealing.

Any data points, thoughts, advice on how to exit?

Which is the more lucrative and flexible long term career path when comparing .NET development vs salesforce development.

By flexible I mean in terms of moving between positions, companies and technologies.

I've done both and am currently doing salesforce development but don't want to get pigeonholed.

How do I get into Consulting? I don’t know anything about solving case studies or have never actually competed in case competitions. Are my doors closed? Any steps to segue my career towards that? I’m currently in Compliance within Banking and Consulting just seems far more exciting to work in, even though I know it’s super tiring and hectic, I’m only 23 and I think I’d have the skin for it, i’d say I can take all sorts of feedback well. I just love that you can wear many hats in Consulting.

I'm waiting on a verdict for a civil jury trial (first one) and I want to go snowboarding tomorrow. They deliberated from 9-5 today with no verdict. Is it super frowned upon if I zoom in (it was a zoom trial) in a car or on the mountain or a lodge or something? Probably a dumb question but idk if receiving verdicts is a much more relaxed etiquette.

Seeking advice: I have a Strategy Director who is a brilliant strategist but ho-hum people manager and is not advancing the dept from a business perspective (streamlining processes, balancing budget with strategic output, etc.). Their team isn’t happy so I risk skip levels leaving. They would really be better suited in an individual contributor role. I fear that if I make the move to IC, they’ll leave as they see opp for advancement as connected to team mgmt. Past coaching hasn’t “clicked.”
