Why do IBs hire (example) 5 people who work like crazy and get paid £300,00 pa instead of hiring 10 people who do normal hours and get paid £150,000 pa ?

So I got an offer for a Consulting-Manager role for approx $150K. Is that a good deal? It looks ok when I check in Glassdoor and the likes, but just wanted to see what the group here says.

Anyone interviewed with databricks for a Project Manager role? How has the experience been?

Help! Finally got the industry job that I want and it means I will exit consulting. Will be going back in office 2 days a week, dress code is business casual. I’m using this as an excuse to refresh my work wardrobe and need some inspiration. Based in Chicago and in my 40s. Already follow Jean Wang, 9to5Chic, HeyNasreen. Any other suggestions? Stores, looks, influencers…all ideas welcome!

For those that live in NYC, do you really feel that it has accelerated your career? What is it about the city that makes people claim that it is that much better for networking and exit opportunities?

Having trouble navigating salary for a top end plaintiffs law firm salary for senior associate position (2012 grad). Mainly handling class actions and MDLs. I’ve only been in single events practice so it’s a whole new world salary wise. Any suggestions so as to what to ask for to not low ball myself? Thanks in advance!

My therapist just told me I'm depressed..do you ever feel like they tell you things you hear a lot or could have figured out on your own? Like take care of yourself, it's ok to feel such and such, etc. I'm still newer to therapy so wondering if that's the common experience? Do you ever have moments where you're like wow that actually is eye opening and I wouldn't have gotten that from reading self help books and websites etc?

Had an interview with a firm in NYC I’m really interested in earlier this week. It felt like it went well and like the partners (including the hiring partner) liked me. What is the general time between interview and offer/rejection?

What do you look for when interviewing a junior associate (2-3 year) for an in-house associate counsel position? What are your expectations with respect to substantive knowledge? I have some interviews for associate counsel positions at some later-stage startup tech firms and would love some advice on how to stand out from all the other biglaw junior associates.

My husband and I have been wanting to start “trying” for a baby for a while now. However, I’m unhappy in my current role and would like to make a jump somewhere else. I have a few early interviews lined up but it’s still early days and no telling where they’ll go. Is it silly to put off trying until I find a new job? On the contrary, is it problematic if I accept a new role down the line while a few months pregnant? Either route feels like a compromise. Appreciate any input from mamas out there.

Can anyone help me with a referral in Accenture Strategy? Is MBA mandatory or 4 YOE in Consulting domain works fine?

Does anyone else feel FOMO when you receive recruiter emails or calls even though you have no intention of leaving your current role any time soon?

What to do when HR for an in-house role sends you an email with four interviews set up for next week without having had a phone conversation first? I have no sense of what the salary is for this role. I do not want to waste my time or the time of the four people I am scheduled to interview with. I thought that with most in-house roles, there would be a conversation about that first to make sure everyone is on the same page. 😩

130k with 7 YOE (change management/project management), per FB post, I feel like I’m extremely underpaid. Will similar position in MBB or FAANG pay a lot more (assuming same non technical role)

Hi Fishes, Let's share your role and yoe if you are above 50LPA

i just had an excellent review with my supervisors. we are aligned i am ready to be promoted. i will be moving from project manager to senior project manager. the catch; my company has laid off 75% of its staff, and cut our salaries by 25%. timing is unclear, since we work in the live entertainment space. what is fair to ask for? i have 7 years work force experience, am the only one in my position, touch every creative deliverable the agency makes, and updated and streamlined 10+ processes.

How many YOE to lateral to a non-entry role at a LEK? From target school with solid LS experience

Guys!! The market is HOT for change management 🎊🎉🎊 I’m glad I’m looking for a new job at the same time 😁 Any recent new hires/company switches in here !? Drop your new place in the comments!! & CONGRATS!! 🍾

Midway ✈️ Question: how early should I get to the airport for a Friday morning flight?

I’m mentally breaking down because I have been doing a job of a scheduler, PM, notetaker, regulatory submissions, and thus have no room for growth to work on strategy. I’m an AS and I am so sick of having to remind everyone because no one looks at my notes, recaps, and no one remembers anything from any meeting. Recently because I’m so exhausted I started making more “mistakes” like not catching a mistake on a submission. Is this because I suck or is it time for me to move off? I feel terrible.

Trying to evaluate a verbal offer in capital planning. $145k plus 7% bonus. 10 years of experience but a bit of career change. NYC. Seems to on the low end but not entirely sure. Any thoughts or tips are welcome.

How normal is it to be pulled off a trial team because you tell your boss you are moving after trial? I have a trial coming up first week of Oct. This case has been my baby, and I’m going to try it with my boss. I tell my boss up front that, for family reasons, I’ve gotten a new job and will be moving to another city two weeks after trial will likely end. He then gives my trial witnesses to another attorney, but is still going to make me do grunt work. Is he unreasonable or am I?

New AWMA... curious to know what a reasonable salary expectation is and what the growth looks like for an associate within a growing ensemble. For context, background is more analytical, taking CAIA level 2 in a couple weeks, then plan on pursuing CFA.

Hello all, Wanted to understand the scope to get jobs for an ACCA qualified in Germany ? I'm closer to getting an ACCA degree and have 2 years work experience in audit . Looking forward to move to Germany, hence would like to know more about it

I’d love some help thinking through this. I’m currently renting for $1600 base ($1800 total) and live in the least desirable part of town, and expect it to raise to about $2k/month. I was planning to buy my first property in the city and Airbnb part of it, but it will take me about a year to save up the cash (~$500k starting). Eventual goal is to move more rural but trying to build to FI. I found a property in my ideal dream location for $280k but it needs work, and can’t Airbnb it. Continued

How bad is EY struggling? All I see on social media is that the firm is struggling/layoffs. What is going on? Is it just certain divisions or the entire firm?

Delta from LHR to ATL is delayed from 2:05pm to 6pm. Will they just give me €300/€600 (if it’s longer than 4 hrs) if I just ask for it, since it’s by EU law? Or do I have to go through hassles?

Man, a lot of people really don’t want to get vaccinated. I wonder how employers with large concentrations of resistant workers are going to deal with the mandate

Can we get more information regarding ET layoffs? I don't think we have enough info here, need more. Have friends at EY, concerned for them.
