It will interfere with your work, if you are not working then it is okay. Otherwise huge compliance issue for you.

They will ask a written letter from HR that you can do consulting work & Accenture have no issue with it

Oh is it. Good that you highlighted this.

I have tried and got paid for it. I usually pick assignments related to my past employment areas.

Any declarations you had to do in your current company?

No, there’s nothing associated with current employer.

Been receiving DMs on LinkedIn for paid consultations. Have received DM from GLG, Guidepoint, and others.   Anyone here tried these consultations gigs? Are those actually work?

Gerson Lehrman Group (GLG) had approached me for help with a topic related to my subject matter expertise. They will have their paying client on the other side of the call and I will have to answer their questions without revealing my identity or any trade secrets. They do pay consultation fees (billed at a negotiated rate per hour) for the same.

1. Firstly, is this a scam?
2. Secondly, they give independence to us to not answer any question (if it reveals any information that we don't want to reveal). Yet - is it a safe bet? What if my current employer comes to know about the same?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

A market research/analysis firm has been after me to get onboard as an expert and answer some of their questions regarding a research they're working on. They claim to also pay me by the hour.
My current work experience is relevant to their research, thus the offer. Anyone here who is involved in something of this sorts from either side of the table? Would appreciate some views. Thanks in advance.

I’m not employed from June. 

Still trying to find a new job. I’d seen some posts months ago that employees from LinkedIn can offer free LinkedIn Career Premium to help people with their job search. 

Can anyone here offer a 6 month LinkedIn Career Premium?
It would be much appreciated :)

Hi all, any Linkedin folks here who can offer Career Premium?

Saw this pop up on LinkedIn few times, does it really help someone break into consulting roles despite not having any prior experience or MBA? 

Would wanna know from people who’ve done the course

I recently received offers and couple of interviews from client based consultancy for wayfair , linkedin … goldmansachs to name a few.

What the hell is going are these roles were offloaded to such companies .

Anyone seeing this across??

Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

I'm considering a job offer in Dubai and I'm eager to learn more about life there. Specifically, I'd love to hear perspective on the cost of living and whether I'm being low-balled.

Any insights would greatly help me decide whether to make the move! TIA

INR 40L in Bangalore (per year) or AED 20K per month in Dubai

I (22F) am an Indian, targetting international MBA (top schools across SE Asia > UK > US - INSEAD, NUS would be ideal) in the 2026 intake. I am seeking guidance about my profile and specifically if I should add more diversity to my profile by making a switch/taking up new projects in the 1 year I have before applying.

Sharing my professional details in reverse chronological order:

2 years workex, and currently working, at a mid-scale e-commerce startup in India as in product management; this place has a good culture, so I have learnt quite a lot and also got promoted 6 months back

BA (Hons) Economics from one of the top colleges in India (SRCC, DU) for non-tech higher studies; was actively involved in many societies, did a lot of internships and have a 9+ CGPA as well

Don't think this would matter, but I have a very good score (98%+) in school as well

Like mentioned above, please help me specifically with how to make the most of this 1 year before I apply to increase my chances for an admit.

Profile Review: 22F, Associate Product Manager (2Y), targeting 2026 MBA

So, I am looking for senior level jobs and  usually referall /direct connects have worked better. But today I had to upload my resume on shine.com 'cuz the opening on linkedin, redirected me there.
Within an hour I got a call from an agency called evolution planner and what seemed like a young boy in an animated voice asking if am looking out etc. What spiked my curiosity was him asking if am looking outside India, which is not usual opening question.
Now its usual for consultants to call so it was sll okay till he said there will be a small fees. Now again, I know of senior folks who deploy headhunters and I was like maybe these people have got my profile from somewhere and are looking to source business from me. I wouldn't have paid but I entertained to see where this is going. He said Microsoft, Oracle etc have shortlisted me. Funny given I have worked in startups in marketing ( and not even tech ) so don't knw whats the skillset match. Anyway he told me to create an account and my final red flag was when he said site name like www Dot..lol who says it like that. I cut the call pretending am getting another call and he can call me later. He asked me to confirm since he will have to hold the client for me. Lol
It's happened with me for the 1st time and unfortunately searching this company name doesn't throw any negative reviews either. But this is a scam,right ? Also since when did google start recruiting like this.
Have you heard of this company?
Also have you had such experiences.?

I'm considering paying some people on Unstop/Topmate to schedule a 1-hour call. I'm looking for guidance on investment banking and have many questions and uncertainties. I have gathered some materials, but I lack guidance on the next steps. I also don't have any alumni in my Engineering college who can provide advice. Do you think it's worth a try?

If not what else could I try.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Daily I see some posts on some senior engineering people joining rippling. It may be some Senior engineer or Senior Manager.

I heard they are paying almost US level salaries to people. 

Can some people from rippling confirm these ? 
- Is there really that much requirement ? 
- Are they really paying 1Cr above for staff and Em levels ? 
- Is the company generating good revenue? 
- Are they moving teams from US to india ? 
- Howiz the work culture in the company? 

Am just really curious about this organisation.

Why is Rippling hiring Rapidly?

Is it legitimate that recruiting specialists at Korn Ferry supporting Google are reaching out on LinkedIn(without even setting status as open to work)?

Could anyone working at Google or the people who got interviewed for Google via Korn Ferry share their experiences?

Often on LinkedIn we have encountered such posts which say x company has y opening, drop your email and I will DM you referral link/mail you z stuff, etc. A question always arises in my mind, DO THESE PEOPLE LEGIT MAIL/DM STUFF??? OR IS IT JUST ATTENTION SEEKING STRATEGIES OR SIMPLY FRAUDULENT WAY FOR GETTING EMAILS???

Truth behind such posts

Any idea how Impact consulting pays? Dalberg, Samagra, Bridgespan, Sattva etc. Pros and cons of joining as well if you can share

Impact Consulting

Management Consulting

This was a very common thing when the first lockdown was announced. I used to get daily messages from people to join a part time hustle and that too from very senior level executives working for good brands.
Looks like we are heading towards recession and this is a strong indicator
My hunch is this kind of hustles are either
1. SCAMS
2. MLMS
3. BOTH
And I seriously don't understand why people are willing to loose their credibility by participating in such hustles. Both of thses guys are at pretty senior managerial levels. What do you guys think about it?

All those consultation DMs that we get on LinkedIn. Anyone tried that?
