Was a part of the IBM CIO’s layoffs

Looking to connect with anyone who may have some leads. 3 months till my first kid should be arriving, wanting to land something before then.

Been in software for 6 years, first as a consultant for an ERP system managing implementations, and then integrations of ext apps like MS365.

Spent 2yr as a PM for data integration projects for a product suite for banks.

Last 3yr with IBM as a BA for internal IT…SQL, db admin, project management etc…

Thanks!

Getting an interview as a clinical app specialist for a radiology PACS company. Nervous to leave the clinical side but at the same time can’t wait. Have any rad techs/clinical people made the switch from clinical to tech? Do you recommend it?

I'll switch to a startup as the only data engineer and will closely work with all the Head ofs + the CTO.

Any advice/books/... on stakeholder management at that level? Especially when things fail/discussing budgets/new hires etc.

What is the comp ceiling long term look like for staying in cloud consulting technical career compare to moving into SWE?

Any audit senior 3 and 1st year managers here? What positions are audit senior 3 and 1st year managers leaving big4 for?

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!

I had a great review and a 5.5% raise and a great bonus at my company. But I also got a new Director and a peer manager of mine left the company, so I will be absorbing her team. In addition, my director said I will be receiving 'deep delegation' from them. I don't mind more work, but deep delegation is a new term I've never heard. What does that mean lol?
