Hello all,
Looking for a consultant position in healthcare consulting. I have an MBA with 5 years in the healthcare industry, 7+ years of strategic program/project management and I’m am lean six sigma green belt certified. Know of any companies currently hiring? (I am willing to travel. )

Feel free to PM me to further discuss.

Career Sabbatical?

Can anyone who has taken a career sabbatical to travel/explore other interests share their experience with both leaving their jobs and returning to the legal field?
I really want to live in Asia for a year at least before I have to settle down and start a family. I’m not getting younger but don’t want to be reckless with my career.

I have booked my h1b visa appointment in sept. Does my visa date effect due to travel ban until dec 31st . I am hoping I could get stamping done and enter US after travel ban gets lifted.

Hi 🐠 Best hotel in Mykonos and Santorini for honeymoon?

Looking to learn more about BCG opportunities with OSD/Pentagon anyone have info on positions and travel requirements for fed practice?

Do any of the top consulting firms have analytics roles (preferably not super technical) that don’t require weekly travel?

Any suggestions on SPG/Marriott hotels in Barcelona for personal travel?

American airlines is so dumb. Was trying to purchase MCE seats for a long-haul. You can’t
purchase it online after check-in. And they can’t uncheck you over the phone. Good thing I fly Delta!

I stopped contributing to my 401K for the last three months in order to pay off credit card debt. I am 28 and have about 68K in my 401K. Was this a smart decision? I want to get out of debt as quickly as possible and I have no student loans or car debt.

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?

You can probably get some points. Be aware that American tends to have mor delays than Delta so switching won’t help. It’s also a much suckier airline in general. At least 60%of my AA flights are delayed in a year

Anyone have a special platinum Marriott support number or contact person to resolve a lingering issue?

Traveling to DC for 4 days. Looking for Marriott with parking and maybe concierge lounge functioning. Anyone use a Marriott recently they can recommend?
Open to other suggestions too. Thanks

What other cards to add to my collection? I have AmEx Platinum and Chase Sapphire Reserve. Fly Delta so AmEx is handy for lounges. Use Sapphire for dining/travel. Should I add Chase Freedom Unlimited?

ZS 🐠, how often are you at the office vs client site? I’m curious because I’ve heard they don’t travel much

How is the United States Delivery center? They are recruiting me for that. Good or bad? anything to be aware of?

Anyone with systemwide upgrades to sell on American Airlines ?

Have an amount of Marriott points I would would like to use to buy United miles.

Any advice on carrying out this transaction?

Considering a jump from FTE back to consulting. I have roughly 8 IT YOE, CSPO, CSM, and my MBA. I'm considering a Sr Product Owner role with the mind set of moving to Product Management within the next 1-2 years. With that background and currently being in a candidate's market, roughly what should I target as my salary?

Right now, I'm at 100k with 5% bonus as a BA.

One of my friends asked me if there was anyone at my company who was looking for new work. I know that there is, but isn't that a huge conflict of interest to share that information?

Curious: are there more lowball offers during the pandemic season or is compensation levels relatively stable?

How much has stock options changed anyone’s life here? Just started at amazon and I received 1500 shares post split. But obviously the vesting schedule is so long over 4 years and morale certainly will be up and down. I feel I’d be crazy to walk away before then and miss out.

what is working at a crisis management firm like? broad question, i know, but i don’t know much about the field! (i currently work at an ad agency, but i’m considering a career pivot.)

I’m curious to hear how agencies are structuring their media fees (10%? 15%? 20%!? of spend) Any performance bonus structures? Would love context too. Platforms you’re responsible for? (Fb only? Google & Fb? Emerging platforms?) KPIs? (Awareness/impressions vs. Full funnel d2c) Scope? (Buy and plan vs. Creative AND buying planning). Curious to learn how others’ have evolved their agreements. Thanks in advance for sharing!

Top worst audit industries?

In an auto accident trial, can you inform the jury in any way that the at-fault driver had insurance? I have a hard time believing a jury would award 7-figure damages if they thought the little old lady defendant had to personally pay. I’m just starting to do PI on the side by myself at my firm, so this is probably a very dumb and obvious question.

Has anyone done the LBO test at Berkshire Partners? Coming from consulting background and have heard that LBO is a possibility - wondering if it’s a paper LBO or more significant.

Serious question: Sheraton cancelled my reservation and I was stranded for a night last night. Called CS and my useless ambassador and they cant help and “sorry”. How do I escalate this?

So apparently accenture is making people who are on the bench enroll into a mandatory customer service role even if you’re 100% utilized. Friend took 3 weeks of PTO and has been on the bench for a few days and he is being forced. Worst part? It’s Tues-Saturday.

How do I say to my counselor, "be prepared to see a big fall of my utilization because of things out of my control" without sounding like complaining or having a lot of negativity?

After a year using my home office setup, especially the 27 inch monitor, how can I ever go back to the traveling life with tiny laptop screen? 😔

What's the deal with PTO, holidays, and utilization?

I’ve been on the bench with less than 10% utilization for 3wks now. I’m a first year and the past month has been slower with not many new projects coming in. I do see a few new projects come in every week but I’m not getting staffed on them. Should I be worried? Should I ask my PM if I should be worried? We’re in a pretty small group less than 20 people
