Ever since i joined consulting, I have hates the expression pain points... FOLKS i have found a replacement — PRESSURE POINTS.

New to American culture. I have observed that women randomly refer to me as “sweetie” at restaurants or other points of sale. I am not offended but definitely feel weird. Is this common ?

Just joined consulting from industry. Transparently struggling with how little depth of knowledge a lot of people have yet they feel like they are experts in everything. Feel like it’s tough to speak up when you’re new, tougher when the “experts” have strong points of view and personalities. Path of least resistance seem to always win. So much of this seems like complete BS that as an industry buyer, I would have never paid for. Does it get better or is this just consulting and the wrong fit?

Whats left in consulting if there’s- - no miles - no hotel points - no free food - no client interaction - stuck in front of your laptop in your room for 15 hrs a day What will still keep you motivated?

General question: can you change the culture of a 4,000 personal organization in 3 months? I think you can set up a framework but real cultural change takes time. And Nov/Dec doesn’t seem like the ideal time to do it. I ask because trying to find a way to present this to my boss with proof points.

If the pandemic really does have the long-term effect of ending/ severely curtailing regular client travel, do you expect consultants will get paid more? Yes, I realize we are a very well-paid profession (to preempt the obvious response many 🐠 were going to make), but not traveling certainly takes away from the overall comp due to less points/ expensed meals, etc. Thoughts? Just curious about people's opinions.

Pandemic has made me realize that traveling / points / dinners etc. were the only real perks to stay in consulting. Remove those and you’re basically in a sweat shop working inhumane hours for leaders that only think of you as a slide producing factory.
