To what extent can we talk about our clients we served on when speaking with recruiters vs hiring managers of the actual company? (Name of the client, nature of work, etc)

I told them pretty much everything outside of the name. I don't think you'll be in trouble for saying, but I never did. Recruiters don't really care and are just doing a quick screen. The hiring manager would care more but even then I never named any client.

Only problem would be if they ask about problems/challenges and you end up bad-mouthing a specific client. Better to be general like "fortune 50 manufacturing client" or something. I'm out of risk now and it worked for me.

I’ve always been curious about this. I hear partners and senior managers name drop all the time to clients to boast how big of clients we serve. But I’ve always been cautious about name dropping.

I usually go generic, e.g. "a transport operator" or "an investment bank"
If the fact that an org is a client is part of the public record then I can't see a problem letting them know you worked on that specific client, but in terms of detail, I stay generic.

Recruiting for a Corporate Strategy role (individual contributor) for a non-profit focused on the Accounting & Finance professions.

Role is fully remote (no travel), incredible WLB (seriously), and comp is $85-$110K (all base, no bonus), depending on experience, which for this role, we are targeting 2-6 years of consulting, strategy, or other similar experience. This should be considered a pre-MBA role.

DM me for additional details if interested. Thank you!

I was recently promoted to a new position at my company. I'm so excited to be taking on this new challenge, but it's not going as well as I had hoped.

I've been given a lot of responsibilities, which is great. But I don't feel like any of them are being prioritized or delegated appropriately. I'm getting a lot of pressure from my manager, who is quite demanding and doesn't seem to understand that I need time to get things done and learn new skills.

Just a thought, perhaps the admin can pin two threads:

I’m interviewing with the company although I have offer signed with another (going though background checks, so didn’t wanna stop before knowing 100%). Really love the process and the team, but unless something goes sideways with signed offer won’t be joining them. I have a colleague who is probably even better fit for the position, I know that she will enjoy the team too and would be happy for a chance to interview with them. How do I approach this?
