They are saying “Discounts! Discounts! We need more discounts!” This comes from them whether their business is affected by the virus or not. They are certainly not saying “send me that $1m SOW, I will sign right away and can’t wait to run a new huge project with you via WebEx!” It’s still lean. The sooner the virus goes and the vaccine comes the better it will be. So do your part and stay home...it will improve your wallet faster than any other move I know right now.

Hey recruiters and professionals, I set up a coffee chat with a colleague on the FP&A team at my company for later this week.

Question to the audience, what specific questions should I be asking to get a better understanding of the team/make a good first impression?

How are you hold up in terms of driving new initiatives with the same energy as “normal times”? Personally I’m struggling to stay motivated and sense that my leadership is also going through the motions while just doing enough to keep the lights on.

I’m curious if this is the norm or if I’m just falling behind.

Pretty highly rated consistently and up for director this year. For years been thinking of starting a business (franchise). Pandemic has put a dent in that but still viable option. Gross profit is 350k (median) and a line of business I’d be very interested in. Clearly this is less pay than new parter (but could open more than one eventually) and risk may be higher for failure. What other factors should I consider when evaluating staying to partner or trying my hand as an entrepreneur?

I’ve done a few searches but feel free to rip me a new one if this has been asked before:

I’m planning on reaching out to a partner at a firm I’m targeting. They’re aligned to the industry I’m currently in but there doesn’t seem to be any roles available at my level (consultant/associate), only EM roles.

Is it worth reaching out via LinkedIn or am I just going to appear a bit desperate?
