Initiative Discussions

Which are the rainmaking groups at the RX firms like A&M? Is it just RX? Or do groups like CPI and PEPI also make bank?

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?

Christmas falls on a Monday next year. Is your company observing the Friday before (22nd) as eve? Or are they observing the 26th as day after?

I’ve been on the bench with less than 10% utilization for 3wks now. I’m a first year and the past month has been slower with not many new projects coming in. I do see a few new projects come in every week but I’m not getting staffed on them. Should I be worried? Should I ask my PM if I should be worried? We’re in a pretty small group less than 20 people

Best fast food restaurant?

Started at a big firm in July with high hopes- in the career path I wanted and I would be joining with other new grads.
After onboarding, it’s as if my team forgets about us every day. The training is non existent, there doesn’t seem to be any initiative to invest in new hires, my manager scolds me for not knowing enough yet gives no direction. I don’t want to waste time (colleagues mentioned it doesn’t get much better from here). Do I embrace the suck or look for other opportunities?

Hi 🐠 , How should I go by negotiating with my current employer to match the offer I have from other companies? Actually I really like working at the current organisation but the pay being offered is also good(6-7L more than the current CTC). Please help!!!

Hi. Can someone please tell me what is the salary of an Associate consultant for a homegrown associate.

I have a rental property and my tenant is asking me to change the fridge light burb. I live out of state and don’t have property manager locally. Is it bad if I ask them to change the fridge light burb themselves?

I’m pretty responsive for things they need help with like laundry machine got broken or pantry doors fell off. So I had sent people to fix those maintenance and repair issues.

But light burbs? Srlsy? They are grown up people (fresh out of college girls)

Hi all,
Please help me with referrals for the Big 4s or Investment Banks like Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan. I have 3+ years of experience. DM or comment to connect. Thanks!

People who are happy that the office is dead should reconsider. If the office is dead wouldn't that mean more outsourcing and less TC forward? Isn't it short sighted to think jobs will stay in the US if they are remote considering how expensive it is to hire here?

I just got my first promotion! Start in the new role next week. Any general tips for hitting the ground running when you change orgs? I really want to make a good impression with the new team.

How do referrals work? Do you apply first or wait for the referral, then apply? Looking for a tiktok referral.
