Anyone looking for a job change? DM me for a Deloitte referral. We are hiring numerous positions across the country.

Is it naive to hope that there could be a job out there that I actually LIKE doing as opposed to just forcing myself to do it for the paycheck? I work for a great company with (mostly) great people but still find myself wishing I could be doing anything else throughout the workday. After a number of different jobs in industry and consulting have left me feeling the same after a year or so, I'm starting to wonder if it'll always be this way and actually liking work is just out of reach.

Not sure if this goes here but my brother is looking for an acquisition role at a real estate investment firm in NYC. Right now, he has 3 years experience in commercial real estate as a broker. Any one have any opportunities or ideas where he should look? Thanks for all the help!

Hi,
Quick question: Do you think is it fine to be asked for preparing an outline for marketing plan as an assessment test so, employer decide if you will be the right fit for position ?

Been working at an agency my whole career and the breakneck speed of work stresses me out. Would love to hear about the day in the life of someone in-house. I can’t decide if I want to switch environments or just pivot my career away from marketing at this point.

Anyone have recommendations on the best app/site to learn Python? 🐍
I’m a complete beginner.

As a 20+ year lawyer with no big law experience (smaller and mid size firms plus government and in house experience), would a BigLaw firm even consider me? Perhaps an of counsel position? Even a senior associate?

Expecting an offer this week or early next week, but want to know when you start negotiating the salary? When you receive the call from the company or wait until receiving the formal offer letter? And how should the negotiation start? Through phone calls or emails? Didn’t use recruiter for this position, so I don’t know what is the process here.

Hi everyone...

I joined fishbowl a month ago and while I’ve seen a couple contentious debates but I must say I’m pleasantly surprised at how respectfully ppl comment on this app even when disagreeing. Usually anonymity on the internet brings out the absolute worst in ppl; they type things anonymously that they would NEVER say in person smh. But I really haven’t seen horrible comments here. I wonder what makes this app diff frm others?

Are there any affordable studios in Seaport (~$3000)? I don’t need amenities or anything. I just want to be within a mile of my office (near Shake Shack).

Is there a list or map anywhere of NYC spots doing takeout cocktails? I’m downtown and so far I’ve grabbed to go from Dante and Extra Virgin if anyone has any other recommendations.

Does anyone have any plus points that are expirining and want to give them away? I'm flying to India and back in Feb and see some availability for PZ. Unfortunately I'm just a gold. TIA.

Hi Fishes, I got offer from IBM but the notice period during probation is mentioned as 90 days?
I heard it's 30 days in most of the cases and after completion of probation it's 90 days?
Can you please advise? Are there any special cases where it is 90 days during probation?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but it's a bad idea to bite your fingernails if you're already chewing gum.

Hey Coaches! I’m Alyssa, and I’m one of the Community Leaders here at Fishbowl. I’ve been in the classroom for 10 years and a classroom coach for 6 (mainly elementary/Pre-K). Excited to be here!

Anyone recently have a McK EM round 1 fit interview? Recruiter says it’s only the fit portion and no case until round 2. Not sure I 100% believe that. Have heard about a cold call case, or is that just at the BA/associate level?

Amex rewards is not as well as cards like Marriott or Citi AAdvantage. Isn't it better sometimes to use your card for expenses, but report it correctly and be reimbursed?

Starbucks cashier: "Do you work at the airport?" Me: "No, I'm just here a lot." *sigh

Backpacks - for students, not consultants...

How do I check my actual utilization (not the effective one). Mybusiness only tells me the effective utilization

That feeling when you can't remember what tfw means.

Recruiter rescheduled a call thrice and then stood me up. They reached out after the call apologized with a non apology (thought our call was x pm instead…) and then proceeded to ask if I am available for a call.

Should I tell them I am no longer interested or not burn the bridge and take the call?

If matched from SPG to Marriott platinum and I'm not currently staying in hotels... how long will the Marriott platinum status last me?

Is there a line between what people should say to coworkers about their personal lives or no? Feel like the longer I stay here and the more HHs I attend, that line has blurred significantly

Looking for recommendations for good consulting / problem solving books and possibly LinkedIn courses if anyone has taken something worthwhile. Thanks Fam!

Shall I disclose reason for leaving a firm during my initial call with a recruiter from said firm, if I was laid off? Are they privy to that information. Ironically being recruited by that same firm

Insights into the best consulting firms for public service/ nonprofit work?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

Given the possibility of the recession around the corner, is it wise to quit a consulting job and move to industry/product companies?

Not thrilled about having to fly United for this engagement. No status on any airline- any ACN promotions going on right now?
