Which agency pays better/has better WLB? Omnicom or Plan B? I'm interviewing with these agencies and I'm not sure which one I should be focusing more on?

I’m in SF but nervous to officially come out to my friends even though I’m sure they all know/assume anyway. :(

I love reading fishbowl during my bathroom breaks. Keeps me sane during busy season.

Is there any difference in the interview process (including evaluation) for generalist vs. specialist positions at McKinsey right now?

I recently switched to a developer role in a product based company from a support engineer for past 4 years in a service based company. I got a good hike as well.

Since I did it I think anyone can do it. Let me know if my experience can be of your any help.
Happy to help!

What’s the best way to negotiate more money during a contract to FTE conversion? My manager and I had the conversion convo today and he said he’d like to convert me immediately and took the action item to do so. In terms of comp he said they should already have what I’m expecting but I don’t think I communicated any FTE number to my contracting company. In this job market with all the layoffs, should I count my blessings and take what I can get or is there wiggle room.

Hi guys,

I need genuine suggestions. I was holding offer from IBM and Wipro & now have got a good offer from a mid size organization.
I want to negotiate with IBM and Wipro & join any of these two.

Do these companies negotiate? When & how should I start negotiation with them ?

I would like to talk professionally so that they provide me a matching CTC or in case, they can't at least they don't block me for future openings.

Please suggest, if anyone can share their experiences.

The real walk of shame is leaving work before everyone else on your team..esp when you're an analyst

Overseas on a study and finding a hot expat to help me with some in-room dining.. sometimes we get food. This job is alright sometimes

Hi fishes,
I have recently joined in a project as a Oracle JD Edwards finance Functional Consultant.
Is this a good ERP to kickstart your consulting career and whether there are good opportunities for this ERP in the future.

Hijabi challenges/experiences in workplace?

Any good/new halal spots in the bay?

Anyone talk to a Muslim therapist? Muslim matters because I’d like to talk about marital issues, and not sure others will get the religious context. NYC preferred. TIA!

What is included in Halal dating? Occasional hugging?

The older I get and the more I think about raising my own children, I keep thinking how can parents frame religious duties like fasting as something to look forward to. I think volunteering as a family can help install the value of giving back and zakaat. How can one make Ramadan and Eid something to look forward to when holidays like Christmas seem to be purely joyous occasion that one doesn’t have to put in work for like fasting for Ramadan?

Salam everyone! Did anyone switch / know anyone who switched from risk consulting to a risk role at a big bank (e.g., Bank of America or Wells)? Any advice on the switch or what Bank you recommend? Additionally, would love any input on any Muslim networks at big banks (if any exist). Thanks so much!
