Tech 🐠, does anyone know what’s a typical job title to search for if I want to do cloud strategy at one of the big techs?

Hi Sharks,

I am a product owner and want to learn all aspects of product management and to transition as a product manager in leading Tech firms. I had completed my engineering and mba but never worked as a software engineer. I started my career in sales and am now working as a PO. So I lack technical knowledge as well. Can some experienced product manager guide me and PPL like me here on this fish bowl a step by step plan to achieve this goal. What courses we can join, what books to read

Anyone else feel like Chicago has very limited "upward" exit options, especially for tech? It seems like outside of consulting, most people who earn a higher incomes are in trading/banking/PE 😕

I am a business development manager in a small biotech incubator. My end goal is to work in commercial, BD or operations within a big pharma/biotech company. What would be best for me:

1) stay in my company to quickly become BD Director and then exit (however my learning opportunities within my current company might be limited)
2) go do consulting for a few years
3) any other recommendations?

Thanks!

I am a Business Analyst, is there any other course I can do for upskill my self?

Will Data Science be helpful for my future growth?

So, a recruiter gave me feedback that my lack SPHR or SHRM-SCP is causing my resume to be knock out by AI and human recruiters despite my position and work history in Multinationals and being in Technology. They suggested that we put SPHR ( Lapsed). I let it lapse in 2017. What is your opinion? Plus if I were to take another certification - should I take SPHR or SHRM-SCP?

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking. I didn't particularly enjoy either role and am not interested in moving over to the buy-side or some monotonous FP&A role. Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?

Can anyone help me understand what c9 grade means in NatWest job grade? what are next two grades after c9?

I’m new to in-house and I begin in January. I wanted to basically better understand M&A and all the inner workings of expanding the scope of a business into new avenues. Does anyone recommend a book or two that may be relevant/helpful? On amazon, I see “The Art of M&A” and “Working With Contracts”. Thank you for any insight.

What are your favourite free SEO (technical and/onpage) courses or certificates?

Any recommended study material for CIPP and/or CIPM (still debating the two)?

I feel like I haven't seen the results of our efforts. The Middle East is still a mess. There's a war in Europe we won't take part in. Does anyone else feel this way?

Seriously don't know how to get a boyfriend as an IB analyst, most people who are in a relationship started dating since college. Really don't want to be single when I'm 30•••

Can anyone explain me the taxation of anywhere employees?
Is it simpler to normal employees or they are considered as self-employed consultant?

Hy Team,
How easy for developers to get on-site opportunities being mobile app developer?

Nothing worse than an analyst who thinks they know everything and can't think big picture - neither can you take direction nor do you understand broader context around said comments

Are your clients still all excited about Snapchat even though the cost is quite high and the metrics are only marginally better than last year??

Leadership role in my state university’s alumni group vs leadership role at my firm’s early career group? Want to develop ways to show leadership for MBA applications in a few years. Thoughts?

Do you all sometimes feel overwhelmed by all the self care tips you see online. Gua sha, sleeping mask, satin pillowcase, this body wash, that scrub, dermaplaning. I don’t know what I should do vs. what not. 😰 and I feel like if I don’t do it, I’m not taking care of myself and not going to look good a few years later. 😓

Thinking of declining an offer with Deloitte. Will this hurt my chances of applying in the future?

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

With product marketing do you have to be passionate about the product or just know how to do the work? I’m about to have a conversation about a PMM role that I know nothing about the product. Any advise?

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.

Are corporate finance or pricing dead end ops?

Any advice (besides good GMAT) on how to get into a top MBA post consulting? Im a public sector consultant.

Has anyone successfully landed a job in Europe as an American Citizen? I’m really looking into moving to London/Amsterdam or Berlin.

I've been exploring exit opportunities for a few months and still holding out for the right opportunity. However, I've had A LOT of recruiters reach out to me for positions that are way below my current salary. They do the whole "your background and expertise is exactly what we're looking for" then turn around and offer a salary range that is 20k below my current level. My resume clearly says I've got 10yrs experience and an MBA. I **don't think* I should be getting offers of 80k-100k

I’ve noticed that the are a few companies that aren’t performing a drug test as part of their onboarding, does anyone know if Microsoft are performing them at the current moment?

Anyone that’s jumped to IB as an analyst, pre-mba. How did you go about networking an interview ?

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.

Any Canadian consultants tried exiting to US roles (outside consulting) via Mgmt Consultant TN - did you have success or failure?

Any advice for someone aspiring to that route?

How bad is reneging a week before I start? Have an offer with FAANG but the role is sales. Got a dream job with Disney in Analytics & Strategy with comparable salary. Should I stick with FAANG?

Hi Fishes,

I will we interviewing with Salesforce for the position for Customer Intelligence Analyst position. Could anyone please guide me with the interview process and difficulty level.

Just got another rejection... Is exiting to FAANG or MB really this hard? Trying to go tech.. or mbb, but not getting anywhere. I have 2 masters (mba, ms) from top schools, been in consulting for over 10 years, I am confident that I know my stuff well..but still I keep getting rejected. Interviewed with Google, Amazon, Cisco, McKinsey, and a few others and every-time there is something that is not a match... are the hiring managers looking for like 100% match? That will never happen!!!
