Why would you speak to your manager before you have an offer in hand?

like

They said they won’t poach people

I don’t recommend speaking to your leadership about this until you actually have an offer from the client. If the client is serious about wanting their consultants to work for them, in my experience, they will approach you....or even speak to your leadership about the interest.

(Cont.) telling us to apply. Can I really trust them to tell them I’m interested in becoming a fte? They all talk about this being an open conversation where they have a good relationship with the client and they want to help us all out. Can I really believe their words or do you think if I speak to my manager (not client, managing partner of project) I would then become a “flight risk"

They will make an offer to you directly if they mean you

Ah ok thanks everyone for the advice. Makes sense thanks again

Guilt and shame about working in a legal position for years where, instead of using my law degree (was supposed to do legal work per the job posting), I served as a personal assistant to my boss/did nothing for maybe half the time. I feel like I was paid for work I didn't do. I've since left that job but the guilt and shame remains. I feel that I lack the character of a lawyer and that I am unworthy of the profession. I don't know how to make up for the lost years or how to forgive myself.

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!

Hi Fishes,
My total experience is 5 in QA, I attended Deloitte interview. First round was technical and it went quite well, they asked lot of theory questions.

So my query is will they call me for next round?I really wanna get selected since Deloitte is mydream company

But seems like a risky move in this economic climate?
