Hi all, how did you solve the retirement puzzle?

As an expat, I went on the Degiro for investing at the moment, since the account can be used from all countries.

Was considering to invest also in an insurance, but is apparently not possible if you live abroad and then maybe go back to the home country.

Have any tips?

How long after a failed transfer does your stomach and body feel like it’s back to normal? It’s been a little over a week since I got the news that my transfer a few weeks ago didn’t work. But my stomach is still so pooched out and looks pregnant that it makes me cry knowing that’s not the case. Trying to eat clean, tons of long walks, but still feel really bloated and gross.

Looking for a general consensus - which firm offers the best compensation & WLB? For info, 4 years experience, mostly technology /mgmt consulting within public sector and starting to think about next move.

Hi fishes,

I got offer from 2 firms KPMG global for 6 lpa and Deloitte India for 6.5 lpa. Which one should i move for.

My personal opinion is to go for DI because its in my hometown, for KPMG i need to relocate. But many people are telling WLB was bad in DI. any suggestions..

$325k TC at MBB in a non-generalist (still partner track) path. Love the intellectual variety, smart colleagues, flexibility (WFH has let me take occasional 2-3h windows during the day for personal activities) - can’t take the stress anymore. Are WFH industry roles at the $300-500k TC level really that much less stressful?

Has anyone dealt with coming to terms with an emotionally abusive relationship? I struggle to admit this (because more drastic examples come to mind), but my therapist mentioned that things like yelling/throwing things/blocking me from leaving the room are also abusive traits my ex demonstrated. It makes me feel alienated from myself — like “how could I have allowed myself to be treated like that?”. Also feeling ashamed to tell anyone

Whats the difference between consulting and advisory in terms of job duties, pay, wlb, etc? I have asked this question to many people in both positions, and no one is able to give an actual answer that differentiates the two.

Thanks in advance!!!

Currently a staff in audit - 6 months in. Glad to be learning a lot, and have had a generally positive experience at the firm other than a few interactions, some tough busy season nights. Really been intrigued by TAS/M&A, however, and had a few convos with a senior in TAS i know at the firm. It’s closer to what I studied, but don’t know how to make the jump as it seems an internal transfer could take 6+months/senior rank and a lot of convincing. Is it better to jump firms/has anyone done this?

Are there any high paying jobs/roles for cloud practitioners not looking to become solution architects or developers? 😅

What are some fun ideas for projects about describing setting? I was going to have them create travel brochures about the setting of a story of their choice but I think this might be overdone.

Senior attorneys at v100, how common is it for attorneys who start at small firms to lateral to biglaw? Have you worked with any? Conventional wisdom is always that if you don’t start there it’s hard to “trade up”. My coworker and I just did it to two different great v30 firms, and I’m wondering if it’s really that uncommon? Just out of curiosity. We’re not special counsel with special niche skills or anything, just associates. Pitfalls to beware? Positives?

We’re looking to implement incentives to encourage community engagement. We’re going to test both material incentives (product) and good ol’ fashion recognition. Which one do you think will do better?

I need a magic spell to make employers stop asking community managers to design, manage ads and create strategies. As you read, a CM is in charge of your COMMUNITY. They're should not be doing the work of 4 people.

What are some of your favorite social listening and analytics tools you’ve used as a CM? My team is looking into new tools and would love to get some recommendations

Wanted to share a recent win in case this would work for anyone else in the bowl -- We started a “share some music” channel in the community and it’s amazing how a non-related topic can encourage participation.

What prompted you to do a complete community overhaul? Did it pay off?

Nobody asked, but here I share the best 5 tools that will ease your job as a community manager:

👉 Canva
👉 Hootsuite
👉 Google Drive
👉 CapCut
👉Qoob Stories

Would you add or change something?

In my opinion, the slow ROI keeps businesses from seeing the importance of investing in the community. Do you think that attitude is changing?

Is there a need for freelance community managers?

If you were required to go back to the office full-time, would you leave?

I'm thinking of experimenting with some incentives to increase our community's engagement. What incentives have you used in the past that have been successful?

I just left my job where I managed a community of 20-somethings and am about to start managing a community of people in their 40s. How different will it be?

When you’re discussing the company on community pages like reddit, do you use your own name or the company name?

Do employers care if you graduated from an Ivy League school?

Is there really a perk to where you graduate from?

How should a future CM looking for their first job build their resume?

It's actually a lot of work to manage our online communities, but some people think my job sounds "fun" because I "get to" surf the internet for a living, if they only knew...

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to crack down on people's posts because isn't that basically censoring what conversations you allow to take place?

Leadership is not a position. It is a complex moral relationship between people based on trust, obligation, commitment, emotion and shared vision for good.

I have been going through community manager job ads to see what skills I should focus on. The responsibilities seem to vary significantly between companies. What are the core hard skills you think someone should focus on?

I’ve noticed the pandemic caused a lot of hobby and entertainment communities to grow faster. People seemed to be looking for connections that they weren’t able to get in the real world. With pandemic restrictions lifted, have you noticed a decrease?
