A non-profit I used to intern for wants to pay me for helping out on the weekends. Worker 🐠, do you get your side hustles approved by the firm?

I’m looking to leave consulting. But a McKinsey recruiter reached out to me recently about interviewing. I just don’t have the passion to go through case interviews and then actually work in another consulting company as a PPT monkey. Am I crazy ?

Is anyone hiring free lance/ contract AEs or PMs? Any state.

Big 4 to local firm for work life balance? Thoughts?

Any strategies or resources you could recommend for getting rid of the dreaded annual performance review (or at least lessening the dread) and creating a more effective year round performance feedback system? Our review is currently tied to our end of year bonuses and merit increases, so not sure I could get rid of it entirely. This would be for hourly and management employees, all working on-site.

Going through interview process at @ Capgemini for their financial services tech consulting practice (Engagement Director role) and will likely get an offer soon due to the demand. Have a few of ques. 1) what’s the hierarchy in the firm? Is Engagement director role one level below Partner? And is partner and sr director role same? 2) what’s the path to partner like or next level like at Cap? 3) asking for a 25% base pay hike but also keen on waiting for aug 9 comp statement. Currently SM4 at EY

Looking for advice on project management software or tools for HR consulting. Our firm doesn’t have anything that is standard or used at all, and while some of us are starting to venture into using Microsoft Teams, I feel like there are so many tools out there and we could be doing things way more efficiently. We work in small client teams (1-3 team members per client usually) and it’s a mix of strategy, tactical, and outsourced HR work. Any suggestions?

First week at new job and I find that 4 of the 5 member panel that interviewed me don't work with the firm (non F500 CorpDev) anymore. It's only been 2 days here and I'm expected to get the job done and take lead on new deals since they're understaffed and have multiple competing investment opportunities. While I don't mind putting in the hours, I feel kinda less confident about the team as a large reason for me to join the firm were these people that don't work here anymore (all ex MBB/IB)

Big law associate, considering asking for some sort of leave of absence for mental health reasons. I’m not sure if it’s burnout or just depression, but it’s bad. I have a therapist, I’m sure they’d write a note or something if necessary. I’m just concerned about how this would look / backlash…
