The latter

@Accenture, mind if I DM you with more details?

Client facing means the target is going to be a lot smaller on your back in a recession - and the progression will be faster to boot

Who are the best boutique firms in human capital /hr consulting with CHRO relationships…

Client facing role wins.

Anyone open to a DM with more context? Would appreciate it

I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

Hi all- My SO is currently at a Big4 & was initially preparing for S&O roles at GCP but given the high number of ex MBB consultants hired, they believe its just more competition to get the offer & to eventually get promoted over time.

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
