To everyone that’s been laid off I just want y’all to know that I’m with you. That is why I’m doing the bare minimum until it’s my time to go.

Best consulting firms for work-life balance? I know consulting is chaotic in nature, but just curious to see which ones are the best in dealing with this?

Anybody here an Account Manager at AON?

How do you like it?

What company runs the background check?

Any advice with anxiety before calls/door pulling? Never happened before but it’s crippling now.

Dynamic strategy consulting background (6 YOE) looking to shift to sales/BD.

I know how to sell and build relationships/report.

Does that sound interesting to anyone? Hoping to get to work soon.

SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit? This just happened to me and the sheer amount of effort that is going to go into collecting all the documents almost makes me not want to follow through. Since I didn’t finish undergrad, they’re asking for a copy of my high school diploma or transcript and that itself is going to be an absolute nightmare to get hold of. Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.

Seen many posts about "The Many", just wondering how many people actually like it there and how many of it is just vacancies from many people leaving.

Many thanks.

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .

Since we’ve all been working from home for months now, what’s the best office chair out that y’all are using for our long work from home hours? Looking to invest in a better one than my ~$150 one from Amazon.

All I want to do is curl up in bed with hot tea and a good book. Recommendations for if I ever achieve said dream?
