What’s with companies asking you to do take home cases? That sounds like free labor!
What’s the ideal amount of time to spend on such an assignment?

Ugh agree! I like the companies that give take home cases using old data though - it feels less like you’re being exploited 😅

Totally agree! I refuse to put in more than an hour or two on these.

Under 2 hours at most. Outline the approch and structure. 2-4 slides. Send only PDF version. Unless it is a legit shop and they can clearly explain the process and why they need it. I have reservation about these take home cases. I have see small no name botique consultancies asking to do a case and do not know to evalute it when they get onto the phone. A total waste of time with no real outcome. Pull the plug if you sense it.

So I’ve been with a court for a while and honestly the pay sucks compared to what paralegals should be making… the benefits are great though and they match my retirement 100% now that I’m vested at 3 years.I have 4 kids and 1 is getting ready for college. I feel like the benefits are great but I’d rather make more now. I am a previous LEO for 4 years who switched to paralegal so I have my leo retirement. Paralegals here make $28 with no benefits what is a good compromise

I’m trying to fix up my resume to apply to other companies. It’s my first resume fix since college so I’m trying to see what to include/ take out.
1) Do I keep my internships? My leadership experiences in college?
2) How do I organize my engagement experiences - All combined bullets or separated by client?
3) How about my internal efforts? (I did 3 internal projects within the firm)
4) Education on top or bottom?

If anyone has a good resume example, please do share!

How difficult would it be to exit into MBB from Big 4 financial services consulting? Obviously it’s dependent on the candidate, but is this a switch one can accomplish without going back for an MBA?

I was a Manager at a Big4 doing PM fed work earlier this year. I decided to join a small firm to pursue cloud sales. However, the position is extremely technical in nature and I'm required to speak tech ( kubernetes, openshift, CICD) to potential clients.
While I have learned from the exposure, I dont intend to continue in a tech role & looking to exit. I'm thinking of Customer/ Partner Success Manager roles with one of the CSPs. Are there other non tech cloud exit opps in industry to consider?
