Hey everyone, What would you say is the difference between an account director and a senior account manager. I was just promoted as an account director when I quit my job and moved to the U.K and now having so much trouble finding a job as an AD. My last interview feedback was that they really liked me but felt like I was lacking new bizz skills and that the organic business growth opportunities I found and jumped on were “luck aka right place at the right” moment kinda thing?

I’ve been in HR for 20 years and have experienced ALOT in that time, although there are always employee relations scenarios that surprise me! How much do I really need to study for this? I just can’t seem to motivate myself to do it, I’m so mentally burnt out at the end of the day from a high stress HR job, the last thing I feel like doing is studying HR!

Hello guys!!
Can anyone of you please help me out? Or atleast some advice!!

I'm a bit confused between Accenture and Bain & Company.
I've offers from both of these firms with almost similar package. The role is not related to consulting but more into the technical+business side.
If I go with Bain, will it be more fruitful wrt brand value and job switch in next few years?
Also, how is the hike and compensation benefits for the employees at Bain?

Any sort of help/advice is more than welcome!

Which company would you join?

I currently work in Sales with the intention of moving over to marketing in the near future. I received two offers for BDR/SDR roles from

I like both companies’ software and it extremely hard to decide which position will get me into marketing faster as it is not a traditional BDR path to take.
