Has anyone ever reached out to a former client to see if they are hiring? Any repercussions to this?

any insight into the environment at Grant Thornton? I have heard they are having layoffs and their reviews on Glassdoor have been less than stellar lately (ex. “aggressive” “egocentric” atmosphere).

Worthwhile getting the AWS cloud practitioner cert? (Will there be a return financially in ease of finding job or higher salary)?

When do you plan to retire?

Is PL in BCG equivalent to EM in McK? Also @MBB folks -- how much time do you give yourselves at the firm?

Grew up in a small town and really fortunate to join consulting. Been really curious about MBB and what strategy entails. Can someone please walk me briefly in your shoes on a normal M-F?

9th year associate here. How long do associates too senior for lockstep hear back from their firm after a raise has been announced and that senior associates will be contacted individually?

Feeling burnt out, like I’m not doing great work, in need of a major life change, and that I’m just in survival mode until the Holiday break. Meanwhile I feel guilt of having a stable remote job unlike so many others around the country. Someone tell me that I’m not alone
