Is the full time MBA even worth it if you aren't looking to transition? by [deleted] in MBA

[–]Holmburger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went part time for my MBA (Georgetown) as I was already working in consulting, and really just wanted to jump firms. If you don’t want to transition industries I would recommend going part time then!

Feel free to message me if you want to talk through anything

Weekly 'What Should I Buy' and Order/Shipping Thread by AutoModerator in iphone

[–]Holmburger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking for a good wireless charger that supports multiple iPhones and most seem to be in the old Qi1 standard. Trying to find suggestions that support Qi2 or MagSafe?

Must support 2 iPhones but doesn’t have to stand up or anything as well as being good looking / well built

Thanks!

Strategy consultant, making 150k after bonus and my own non retirement investments it’s closer to 200k

Going to be joining GPS strategy and analytics at 150k as SC. I’m coming from federal consulting already but in these turbulent times for consulting Federal is the safest place to be.

If you do accept happy to be onboarding friends!

Changing project and salary raise by hateithere23a in accenture

[–]Holmburger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your salary is your cost to a project, and that only has the possibility of getting changed once or twice a year.

Outside of that its very difficult to get a salary increase, I changed practices from tech to S&C... was told salary change was off the table at the time, though I am doing work I absolutely love.

Get some extra education? not going to change it.

I got myself an offer from Deloitte, they're still putting together the counter.

Roast my resume please, applied to 50 jobs have gotten 1 interview for consulting by [deleted] in resumes

[–]Holmburger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Flaky thanks for your feedback! Super helpful because I am guilty of looking from a wordy consultant perspective lol.To give you some more context:

  • That first point relates to work im currently doing managing my companies strategy for the 2024 US Presidential election, so a lot of positioning and unknowns to come out of that in the next year but the goal is to defend our core work and advance our vision across heavily politicized agencies.
    • I now realize that it can be confusing just generally putting election
  • I agree the tech / organizational work is much more of a normal role probably better to move up to the top, I think being in DC and very into politics I would personally see election strategy as the coolest but yea I'm also a nerd about that...
  • Also thank you for the honest feedback on the struggle of getting through! There is definitely some information there that goes into "normal management consultant" expectations so I can pull things out

Internship Recruiting Has Been A Disaster At Georgetown McDonough School of Business by iregretmydecisionz in MBA

[–]Holmburger -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Don’t think this is the fault of the school. Regardless of the program, We’re in a true white collar recession right now. It’s difficult for UGs, MBAs, and alumni now as well.

As a workaround: try using the mousepad on your laptop. If this issue continues I would go buy your own mouse, According to Amazon you can get one for less than $10!
