Well I did it! Finally pulled the plug on an 18 year consulting career. So excited to not have to deal with the politics, last minute weekend request by domineering old school Partners/ always working on PTO and am overjoyed at never having to write another damn RFP/ proposal response. I put my blood, sweat and tears into this place. I have no regrets and knew I had burned out. It’s important to be honest with yourself. Yes people, there is life after Deloitte! Industry here I come!

Hello Fishes !
Anyone from SAP functional in the group?
Have some queries regarding the type of project VOIS have in Pune location .. Do we have implementation or support project?
What is the scope of learning opportunity and growth perspective?

I love when coworkers say “Enjoy your PTO, it’s so well deserved.” Like what? It’s in my offer letter and part of my compensation, I’m entitled to it. We all are.

Anybody sit for the CIA exam? If so what was the process like for you? Level of difficulty, time required to study, materials used, etc. thanks!

Do you think at 35 years old could you switch to a developer career path? I feel I am stuck in my current position and have always loved programming, although I do not have a computers science degree

Perspective. I’m retiring from the service and I’ve positioned myself decently to be competitive. I have a graduate degree pursuing a doctorate, LSSBB, ScrumMaster, SPHR, and PMI-ACP. I’ve been offered two positions that are great and on the human capital team. For someone in this situation where should I be looking as commensurate with my certifications and experience?

Does anyone else here have a hospitality management degree? Do you think it was worth it?

Hello,
Can we get promotion after the mid year review in CitiusTech?
Or the promotion for the mid year already done?
I see for many people the designation has changed but for me it's not. I was under the impression that the promotion happens after the mid year discussion or after the year end discussion.
Can someone please tell the details and when we can expect the new revised letter mentioning the new designation.

I did it! I got an in-house Paralegal position after years of working and being burned out at different law firms. I was going to leave the legal field all together because I was so burned out and depressed, but I decided to give the field one more chance if I was able to go in-house. Prayerfully, this transition will be a good one.
