Does MBA matter in contract pricing?

Hi all, looking to career pivot from retail to talent acquisition/recruiting. Trying to make myself stand out to make up for my lack of experience. Some roles I am interested in prefer PHR or SHRM certifications. Would it be worth it to pursue a certification to land a position? Thank you

How hard was the prosci certification exam for you? (I know, significantly easier than CPA, etc). Wondering because I’m pretty bad at test taking.

Hi all!
Would love some insight on how you went from an HR assistant/coordinator to an HR Generalist. I’ve been in the HR world for 8 years, and only in the last 2-3 have I really done real HR work. The first company I was at didn’t have a solid HR team so I don’t really count that. I feel like I’m ready to take on more responsibility and learn more. And of course make more money.

I have looked into getting SHRM certification. But should I go back to school and get my masters in Hr?

Hi Fishes,

Is ISTQB certification still of the same importance? Should I do it on priority basis?

Or

Should I just go for certification of Selenium?

Hi all - I'm interested in moving to a larger firm to do business valuation work. Currently at a 50-person firm, and have completed three busy seasons doing a mix of audit and tax work, and a few 401K audits and business valuation projects in the off season. Any advice on how to translate the experience I have into an offer? Haven't passed any CPA exam sections yet, but have 150 credits. Not sure if CPA matters if I go into valuation.

In this remote environment, do y’all think a junior associate (yr 1-3) in M&A and PE could realistically work full time and enroll in a MBA program if the program holds courses Friday/Saturday. Specifically NY M&A PE associate looking to get an MBA from Columbia. And if you did enroll in a MBA or LLM program, would you need to disclose this to the firm?

Is it worth it to get an MBA for healthcare Administration? I’m currently getting my MPH in Healthcare Management at Yale. I’m thinking about applying to deferred mba admission programs. But, is it worth it? I’ve seen a lot of senior leaders with just one additional degree. Any advice would be appreciated.

I’m currently a Sr Consultant in integrations. I’ve been on a long term project and it is not helping me grow in my career. It is over staffed and I feel useless on this project. I’m almost to my breaking point of looking for different opportunities. Does anyone have any insight into working for the customer? How does the pay relate? Or is there anyone who left Deloitte and gone to another firm, your experience will be greatly appreciated!

Looking for some perspective and advice. I’ve moved to an in-house analytics organization for a large fortune 10 company and have prior experience with a big 4 and a startup as head of analytics & data science.

Received an offer at an advertising agency for a senior role (slightly more money) and torn on taking the offer or not. This would be my first stint with an ad agency. Potential reasons against: 1) risk? I’m in the safe side already 2) longer hours? 3) less upside growth potential?

Also wondering what curriculum is being used, if any, in your classrooms

I’m a pretty junior CW but I get to spend an hour meeting with my ECD today who I respect a lot. What questions would you ask? What should expect from our meeting?

Starting to wonder why I am not a consultant or something similar since they get paid the same/ more than big law and have many many many more perks and travel. Is there a way for a litigator to be hired at a consulting firm? Not in house legal.

I have about $11k in debt and trying to pay down to prepare for my home buying journey. I’m stressed about paying off debt and saving at the same time. I know these two are contradictory. I’m giving myself 1 year: to completely pay off and close on the home. My target is next Sept. Would love advice on how to realistically pay down the debt and still try to save at the same time. 🫤

Hey AIR team,
How do you confirm a company that approaches you from Europe is legitimate? I have a media company from Turkey asking me to quote some animation for them. They have a website, have given their address (which is an actual address on google maps), and have given phone numbers which I haven't tried yet. I have let them know that if we work together, I'd require 50% up front, 35% midway and 15% before delivery of final elements and they say they're fine with that. Anything else?

Anyone in McK Transformation willing to chat?

Round 1 interviews for BCG - if you were to nail one specific thing in that 45 minutes, what would it be?

MBB folks are you guys traveling again? Or were you before omicron? Curious what the expectations are, moving forward on that. Is mon-thurs becoming a thing of the past? Or do you foresee a return to that? Or are you guys basically already there again?

What is McK new hire BA base salary and bonus in the US? Heard rumors that it’s $130K base now.

Will mbb consider someone with 2 years of startup experience from a target undergrad? Or would they prefer consulting (ex OW / Deloitte / Strategy& / Accenture etc.), see most of the laterals from the above firms.

Is progression faster at PIPE/PEPI/PEG? Maybe not across all of them but just wondering if it is faster at any of the MBB?

TIA!

New C from MBA, is it normal to get tough feedback during your pairing? Scared my review won’t be good especially with this market
