I am a C who has been working as a SC on a very large project for the past 1.5 years. I recently got made the M due to staffing limitations (M and SC both had to roll off). I feel like I am in way over my head. I didn’t get a choice as to whether or not I wanted to accept this new position and the workload/stress is too much. People tell me this is good for my career, but I just feel like I am being taken advantage of and working 2 levels above my pay grade for free. Idk what to do.

Those that work for a company that reduces your compensation by location and the role is completely remote. How does a company verify your location? Couldn’t someone theoretically change their vpn to the area of their employer or to an HCOL area to get more favorable compensation even if they live in an LCOL area or even 100’s of miles away?

Hi all! I currently have offers from EY-Parthenon and Oliver Wyman, and I would appreciate any thoughts/advice on the two. They're both great firms, but I'm still trying to understand the differences.

career trajectory (moving up within the firm, how quickly, future comp)
type of work
exit opportunities
culture
work/life balance

Hi y’all, I applied to a FT consulting role for big 4 firm and the recruiter reached out to me to set up an interview. Following the call I was informed that the position has been put on hold by the client and that HR would let me know if there are any updates. Its been 4 weeks since, is all hope lost for an interview?

When I was a fresh grad out of college, a pair of consultants came to our office. Management told us they were there to shadow us and write job aids for our duties “just to have on file” and for new hires. A few weeks later the company had layoffs and eliminated entire departments. Of course looking back now I know why the consultants were really there. Now that I’m a consultant myself, I’ve never seen that type of project or role come up. What type of consulting is this called or line of work?
