Thoughts on how to attack my job search for new biz. Looking to make a move with bigger opportunity. 175 & 35 person shop experience and have made huge impacts on revenue at both. $10MM+ in 2.5 years.

Great call on reworking the numbers. The $10MM was at the larger shop over a 12 month period and was a 76% growth for that agency. 13 to 23 in a year. And thanks for the Wunderman and Ratti posts!

$10M in almost three years might have been huge for the 35 person shop but definitely isn’t for the 175. I don’t want to minimize your accomplishments, but you should find a different way to spin that than just the gross number

This is tricky ... I’m not sure leading with the $$ is the best way in. $$ matters but sellling $250k projects at a niche agency could be tougher than $10mm deals at a global agency. In other words, it’s more important to demonstrate the ability to hunt and then go after the work once you have a prospect on the line. For the $10mm did those come to you via inbound? Did you find the clients yourself? What was your role in the pursuit?

Those are all critical. And if a hiring company only asks about $$ you brought in then it’s likely a sign of their view of nbz. Obviously nbz is about bringing in clients and rev but having the great skills to work on a team to win clients is priceless.

If you’re looking for a move, identify a few companies you want to work for and then find your way to their c-suite and figure out their needs. That would be the best way to demonstrate you can do it for them too. And put you in an incredible spot because you will have earned the trust of the people you’ll work with.

I currently work in Healthcare as a respiratory therapist for 10 years. I have been at my job, currently, for a little over 5 years. Alongside my bachelors degree I also have a masters degree in healthcare administration. Although, I am happy with my current position as a respiratory therapist, there seems to be not a lot career growth with where the department I currently work in within my healthcare system. I am wondering what doors/opportunities I have if I were to utilize my masters degree?

Hello Fishes,

I currently hold offers from below:
IBM - 15.5 LPA
CTS - 18.5 LPA
PWC India - 16 LPA
Oracle Financial Services Software(OFSS) - 21 LPA

Planning to join OFSS as I will work in product development team and can work in any shift timings with WFH.

Today I had my 2nd round interview with EY GDS and got rejected.
Do I need to worry about this and feel low?
Could EY GDS would have been better instead of OFSS?

Please provide your valuable inputs.
