I’m preparing to renegotiate my employment terms. I’m a 8yr associate with trial experience and combined verdict/settlement north of $25mil. How much should I be asking for? Due to COVID, I took a huge ($30k) pay cut to leave my previous position.

Is there a certain point where it's too late to go from consulting to a PE associate role pre-MBA? Due to visa considerations, it doesn't seem likely that I'm gonna be able to leave before the 4-4.5 year mark at McK. Would love to hear y'all's thoughts!

Spoke to hiring manager yesterday and was moved on in the process. Less than 24 hours later I receive a note that:

“pausing search for the role for the foreseeable future role due to shift in priorities”

This feels like a lie....thoughts?

Is it worth staying in public accounting if I want to pivot to a completely different industry (PE/investment/asset management)? I’m currently in DT tax BTS (1 yr.) and work primarily for investment management clients. But would like to avoid going into fund accounting/ops and would like to try and get An analyst role. The only upside I can see as of now is waiting til I get my CPA, and then apply to an MBA program which would help me land an analyst role. DT might help on an MBA application?

Hi There, I’m a Senior freelance Digital PM/Producer based out of Toronto, Canada. I figure with remote work being the norm now, there would be more opportunity to collaborate with US agencies. Has anyone had the experience of doing this? I know some agencies have strict hiring protocol but I am incorporated. Any advice would help! Thank you

Hope: After a little over two weeks of no communication following what felt like a very good interview, today I sent a “just checking in” type email to the hiring manager. Twenty minutes later (cont)
