The H1B panic is getting out of hand.

Wondering what people think about my situation. I’ve been offered a role with a company. The job description didn’t mention college degree as a requirement. On my CV I have a section listed as “Education” and under it I have “Business Studies” with the university name and the 3 years that I attended the course (2.5 to be exact). It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.

To those of you who are planning to apply to MBA: Make sure you choose your recommender CAREFULLY. Really evaluate the person you’re requesting the letter from, their personality, and their relationship with you. You don’t want to be back stabbed like me 🙃

ACCA and CPA qualifications. How useful are they in the line of consulting. I work in the M&A space focusing on FDD. Happy to have a chat to see what qualifications if any are actually useful in our line of work.

Ever since Risk Assurance busy season ended, I feel like I’ve been kind of coasting. I’m still getting all my work done but my utilization is slipping. With CRTs coming up, how worried should I be?

Hi Fishes,

I come across many job descriptions for roles in corporate communications preferring experience in digital marketing. As a marcom person, I feel we should know how to use the digital platforms effectively rather than literally sit and work on the campaign tools. Please let me know if I am mislead.

I've submitted my latest paper to the largest journal in my field, but it's taking forever for them to review it. I feel like they're just stalling me because they don't want to publish it. But if they don't publish it, then who will? And what happens if someone else finds out about my findings before they're published?

Do I charge flight time to my client... or the General admin code? #newhire

What did your first year in big law look like?

Are there any fundamental differences between a salary negotiation during the start (applying for the job) vs. Salary negotiation during a performance review (you’ve been employed for x time and looking for a raise). I’m in the latter and wondering if there are any maneuvers that are different I should be doing.

Someone reached out to me on LinkedIn about becoming an author on the side. Has anyone heard about such a thing?!? The person said she’s worked with 800 consultants writing their books and marketing it for them.

Recruiting call: "We've had a number of applicants turn down offers because they're afraid of flying." LOLOL. That's like applying for lifeguard and being surprised when there's a pool. 😂

Hi fish, hope you are having a good weekend.

I'm wondering which skills from consulting would be the most versatile/transferrable and key to learn, e.g., strategy, for consulting or general business acumen. I currently have had experiences in RWE data analytics and management and wanted to see what I can target next. Feel free to provide granularity in your response. Thanks!

How many consultants do you think travel with THC products, eg edibles, vapes, tinctures?
It’s huge for me getting a good night sleep, have a prescription, and thinking of traveling with it. Wonder how risky it really is.

Hi everyone, I need your candid opinion here. What do you do when you just boomeranged to your previous consulting firm but you just got a 1.8x offer (TC) from a tech company. Please note that the process started late last year with the tech firm

Left a career in banking for consulting. Ended up working on M&A post merger/Documentation as I’ve experience in the field. Life is funny.
