Super curious what everybody thinks about Gartner? Thoughts on the firm, etc? Prestige, product, people, culture, exit opps? I’m on my way out. Trying to lateral to big 4/elite boutique (ATK/LEK/OW)

Gartner & Forrester are the barometer of our boardrooms. Any decent C level will at least look at the trends are going and make strategic decisions based on where those ISVs (independent software providers) are heading.

I remember pitching Coupa (Procure to Pay) 3 years before their IPO and nobody would listen. Now they are everywhere.

Gartner comes across an analytic driven firm which sells surveys and intel but u guys are not consultants and therefore not sales people either (unless u were selling Gartner licensing packages).

Moving towards Big4 will be a big change for sure. Not sure if they are looking for profiles like yours. Have u researched ?

U may be an invaluable asset if you were exposed to many productions of Gartner Magic Quadrants ans therefore know how to navigate tech transitions for clients and explain why, how and how much ...

U have the data! At least in your head.

Good luck

I work with a bunch of ex Gartner people, and think quite highly of them. However, they are all business development folks, as opposed to being focused on consulting.

My true answer depends on what you are looking to do. If you are focused on obtaining a BD role, I would say Gartner will have prepared you well assuming that you came from a sales role at Gartner.

I have two offers in hand. KPMG and Deloitte. CTC is almost same whereas variable is more in KPMG. I am inclined towards Deloitte India. But HR in KPMG told me that I won't be able to join KPMG India in future as I accepted their offer. I informed her within 2 weeks and didn't do anything for onboarding. I didn't ask to increase the amount or JB and I strongly believe I informed early so they can look for other candidates. Is this bluff? Any HR here to clarify

Trying to figure out if I should start as an inbound SDR, or try jumping straight into an AE role in SaaS.

I left mortgages at the beginning of the year to start a franchise business, it's now semi-self-sufficient so wanted to start a career again and I live in the Silicon Slopes area. Everyone I know is in SaaS or software engineering.

Just wondering if I should push my resume as far as possible and try to snag an AE role or take my time in a new industry and start from the bottom.

I've spent a good amount of time working strategy, product development and change management/PMO projects . Data Scientist by training with a small amount of DD and financial modeling experience - so hopefully have the analytics chops to learn new skills as needed.

Working through getting some concrete M&A/ Valuations experience to make me a better candidate for a PE/VC firm. One question.

Will a shop take you and teach you on the go - or should I build that resume more?

For added context, I have an MBA, have focused of business development so understand sales and dealing with customers.

Thoughts welcome!
