CGI director salary? Comparable to B4 ?

I’m very unhappy with my job, but expecting promotion and 40% pay increase in 6 months. Also would like to apply to bschool ASAP. I am currently interviewing at a company that is more interesting...

Do we have to share the original offer letter with the current company HR when business case is raised with current HR for retaintion? Or is it ok to share just the screenshot of the offer.

Any McKinsey folks open for a chat and possible referral? Thanks

What do you do when your art director just cannot concept?

I think my significant other is cheating. I’m thinking of using a PI. Has anyone used one? I want to know if it’s worthwhile. Thank you for any help.

Do we need to take PTO for the week of July 4th?

Crowdsourcing for some advice!
Which is better for someone who is still somewhat early in their career:
1) Go to a mid-size/tier 2 firm with a solid reputation and knowing you’ll learn a ton (reputation for culture is pretty good too), but have little WLB and be potentially seen as a pawn in the group or 2) go to a small boutique firm that emphasizes their WLB and culture and you know the leadership, but company is super small and relatively unknown, scope of projects potentially limited

Looking to jump from Social Strategist to Strategist, but I'm close to being bumped to senior. Is making the move easy and would it be lateral once I hit senior?

P&T moving to cohort. Thoughts …

I used to work out a good amount in college but since joining IB I’ve stopped since it’s harder to fit in my schedule. Any hacks for an ANL that don’t involve going to the gym at 6am? (Definitely not doing that, who are we kidding)

Have you guys seen pictures of the pink auroras over Norway on November 3rd? They're stunningly beautiful and probably not something we'll see again

I want to invest in bitcoin but what it's negative feedback on it as an investment

I’m super tempted to reach out to my ex’s ex because she is so lovely (talked to her once without knowing she was his ex) and also, because I’m pretty sure my relationship ended because my ex had residual feelings and would compare how he felt with me with how he felt with her 🙃 want to ask her if she can tell him to move on / tell him she’s moved on, as he won’t completely unless he knows she’s moved on I think. I know I’m being desperate but worth a shot?

Aside from Under Armour at Droga, what are the best sports accounts in NYC? Or are they all out West/Portland/Europe?

How long does it take to get a full offer letter? I've been chasing continuously and have turned down other offers in the hopes that I can sign this one. It was supposed to be sent last week apparently but no sign of it yet

I’m a first year associate (I have been here a month and a half), what am I giving for Christmas to others in the office and who should those others be? Thanks in advance!

Does anybody else feel the need to work on projects with tangible applications/results? When I work on financial/IT work, I feel like the numbers are all floating in the air and don't really make a difference. On supply chain projects, I don't feel so much like I'm treading water because things are physically being moved and progress is easily measurable.

do you guys just...not know what you want?
so far my career has gone pretty well just spontaneously applying for things that have sounded interesting.

Now, my current company is very supportive and wants to help my career plan - problem is I have no plan because I don't know what I want to do, and I can't choose what I want to do because I don't know what I like. my stupid brain cannot form an opinion based on anything other than what I did that exact day.

I was just diagnosed with adhd. How do others cope with it, especially given our high pressure careers.... thinking about medicine but need to talk to my psychiatrist.

So i have adhd and really bad anxiety. Seeing a physchiatrist that will likely put me on anti anxiety meds.

Has anyone with adhd here gone on anti anxiety meds without treating the adhd, and if so how did the meds affect concentration and memory?

Need to brag- for the first time in my life, my performance review says "very organized".

First year medicated, I knew it was making a difference for me but seeing the evidence on paper is still crazy.

My Vyvanse meds make me pretty dehydrated. No matter how much water I drink, my mouth is still dry plus it makes me end up needing to use the bathroom often. Any tips for dealing with both of these issues?

anyone else taking strattera having sexual side effects? (ED,etc) just started taking it and wondering if that goes away after a bit or if it’s ongoing because no… just no.

If anyones gone through a few different extended release medications (adderall XR, vyvanse, Concetta, etc.), can you share how they differed from each other? I’ve been on 20mg adderall XR for about 6 months and just curious if it’s worth exploring other options.

Stayed up till 1 am Friday night working on a deck. And still have a few hours to put in this weekend. But way more energized this weekend, than last when I had a boring 40 hr week. Ahhhh, ADHD...

Those of you on Adderall IR, what is your dose, and what are your side effects? What other drugs have you tried?

Embarrassing ADHD moments? I'll start

1. Drove home 2 hours tonight only to realize 2 hours later that I forgot my laptop bag

2. Went out of town and left meat out the freezer. Called an uber driver to use my padlock to get into my place and put it back

3. Driven off with the gas pump in my car. Twice

4. Walked in, paid for gas, walked out, got in my car and drove off

5. Forgot gyro meat in my air fryer for 2 weeks.

Does anyone here believe or has been diagnosed with comorbid BPD (borderline personality disorder)? If so, what did you do or would recommend to manage your life with this disorder? I seem to exhibit several symptoms and will definitely speak to a shrink soon. Here to get more perspective and some helpful tips.

Happy Halloween 🎃 my fellow ADHD 🐠!Pros and cons for those of you who take adderall regularly? Just got diagnosed and will start the prescription today.

How do you mange your attention to detail as a consultant. This something I’m struggling with and have received feedback on. Do you disclose that you have add so proper accommodations can be put into place?

Has anyone tried focus factor sold at Costco

I have not been diagnosed with ADHD. I definitely fit some of the characteristics that go unnoticed in females. The good news is if i do have ADHD, it makes me quite good at my job as I’m very flexible and can provide positive energy to my patients. Anyway, my boss has told me I have ADHD multiple times. It seems rude when she says it, and she follows it up with “I say that because I love you” which i feel is so unprofessional all around. Anyone have guidance on how to handle this?

I started taking Adderal, 2.5 g which is not really a lot. It didn’t really help with my focus, instead I felt restless and somehow nervous and really thirsty. And it made me clench my teeth. I do grind my teeth during nighttime but never experienced this in the daytime. Does it take time to get used to it?

I am always embarrassingly late to the office/client site in the mornings.

It seems to be a combo of only going in 1-2 times a week so I can’t get a routine and general time blindness. I do take my meds first thing so I’m able to at least complete getting ready tasks one by one…

Any and all advice welcome!

One method I’ve found helpful in developing solid “soft skills” in Big 4 consulting is to deeply educate myself across the field of social engineering. The book I started with first was, “Human Hacking” by Chris Hadnagy. The applicable knowledge I’ve gained has been invaluable. Way more valuable than anything I read from “Trusted Advisor” guidance. Thoughts?

Has anyone ever had weird side effects after getting their meds filled from a different manufacturer than what you’re used to?
