Do we still need planners?

So Clear is amazing.

People who left audit for tax or consulting - how did you know that It would suit you better and what differences make the long hours more enjoyable? I’ve already rebounded once from a smaller firm bc I was bored, and I know without a doubt that I’m not ready for an industry job... so I guess I’m trying to figure out if another service line would suit me. The problem is that I have no experience outside of audit. HELP :’)

I just saw a stat on SHRM that best in class orgs have $1,100 per employee budget for HR (including all HR FTE’s, systems, etc) this seems unreal. Is anyone willing to share how they develop their HR budget? And what’s included?

Any clinical reporting folks on here? What type of company are you at and how are you liking it? I provide reporting services in an academic hospital medicine division at a state institution. Reports are mostly performance based and quality improvement (ex. discharge by 10am, length of stay, 30 day readmission, census on Medicine teams at the hospital, etc.) I would love to hear who you support!

If you are one of those people who shame me for leaving at 5 on a Friday, tell me your address.

Anyone have any advice for asynchronous task and team management?

I’m a Product Manager who’s also managing a Product Designer on Pacific time. I’ll be in CEST for about 3 weeks next month and I really want to make sure I knock it out of the park on the asynchronous management.

Anyone have any tips or best practices for leading Product and Product Design async?

Thank you! 😊

Anyone currently employed or used to work at Hanover? Curious pros and cons. Any agents that work with them have any feedback on the company?

Why did you switch from plaintiff to defense?

Looking to connect and have a coffee chat with someone who works as a business analyst or Product, Strategy or Operations at Microsoft, Meta, Salesforce, NVIDIA or Hubspot.

Thank you

How long do you wait to send follow-up email if you didn't get a response? I read somewhere that if you don't hear back within 48 hours you wont hear from them at all. Is that the case in your experience?

@Cigna - Project Managers, Health Engagement - What’s WLB like? Are they meeting heavy? Do you like Cigna?

Do you think the economy is going to be bad in America for a while? I sort of feel like the down-sides from Covid haven't affected highly educated tech workers.

Heading towards my first (and hopefully last) divorce. I'm resentful of my career because I feel like it was a huge contributing factor to the failure of my marriage.

OFFERS & NEGOTIATING - Has anyone made a counter offer to a company and had the company rescind their original offer? For context I requested a later start date and now I am nervous they will essentially say rescind the original offer and basically say never mind! Any opinions or feedback to my anxious brain?!

Question for traveling consultants that are moms and dads: how do you stay connected with your kids during weekdays (while working remotely) and then during weekends, in person?

Anyone have a sense of why Deloitte got hit so hard by layoffs? I’ve heard four potential reasons:
1. Client mix / type of work
2. Leverage
3. Over hired in anticipation of growth
4. Partners didn’t want to take a haircut

Just curious! From an external perspective, seems like they cut way more than the other firms.

Gotta love when they say "we are going to taxi and hope we can take off sooner... our time is scheduled for an hour from now" 🤦‍♀️ just leave me at the bar!

What makes you automatically roll your eyes in a meeting? I’ll start: when account people tell me not to think about the budget because the client will find the money if they like an idea 😐😑🙄

Desi 🐟- Anyone looking for referral in PwC, ping me. Happy to submit referral

Hi Fishes,

I recently got a mail from IBM that I have cleared all the rounds and also I have filled all the background verification forms and sent the required documents. So I just want to know how much time will it take to get the BGV done and release the offer letter?

Thanks

Anyone has any experience with online providers to diagnose ADHD? I looked for a doctor a while ago through my insurance and kind of gave up as most were not accepting patients.
