Want to say THANK YOU to everyone on this bowl. You all taught me how to navigate the recruitment process, give a good elevator speech, interview techniques [do's/don'ts], and most importantly: discovering my true value, and sticking to my guns.
150+ job applications, 9 interviews, 3 offers, and 84% comp increase. Tomorrow will be my first day at Accenture. 2 days of orientation, 1 day of elearnings, and [hopefully] off to a client next week. Seriously, thank you all!!!!!!!!!!

Nice work, did you apply to 150+ consulting firms?! Or multiple roles within each

My experience thus far has been at a small consulting subsidiary of Capgemini, and I was tired of feeling like my work [and salary] was being brushed under the rug and after our yearly comp adjustments [March] - I decided that I was fed up with the BS.

I applied to basically anything and everything in both consulting and industry. I set LinkedIn job alerts for keywords like: 1) consulting 2) SaaS 3) sales engineer 4) software 5) integration [my first job was developing SaaS integrations]. I got alerts for new postings and spent 1.5-2 hours every single night applying and applying to basically anything that I could find. I was totally open to the idea of leaving consulting, but I guess that's not what the universe has in store for me right now!

Hi! I started at a new company 2 months ago and while I’m really enjoying my job so far, I’m having a hard time gauging whether or not I’m doing a “good job.” My role seems to be always evolving, which is fine and I actually enjoy being a support to the greater marketing team, but I feel like I need better defined targets to make sure I’m meeting expectations. Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)
