Would you leave a Manager (Tech Consulting) position to join MBB as an associate (Generalist/ Strategy) - 1 level down but same income with potentially faster growth ? What are pros and cons ....

Any Greek Life pride? Had a resume workshop with our undergrads earlier and can't wait to see some of them rush the Big 4

I want to buy a portable second monitor for my laptop to take with me for when clients cant provide great team rooms. Any recommendations?

Top consulting firms hiring right now?

First day back flying and damn near lost my wallet. Happy Fly Day indeed. Y’all take it easy.

Watching suits and thinking if any of people in the show held even 5% of the professionalism we had in public accounting, the show would have ended 5 seasons ago.

Graduated last May and began work in July. I want to get my MBA after 2 yrs of experience. Would I apply this fall (so I have 2 years when I matriculate) or fall 2021 (so I have 2 years when I apply)?

Do consultants at MBB have to network to find projects or is the process easier? Do you guys feel the stress to find roles to avoid layoffs?

Are the layoffs still on?

Pdubs Public Sector 🐠 - how was Day 1?

EY. Looking for advice on how to transfer groups. Either inside PI Advisory or to TAS-OTS. Just finished first year as a senior post MBA. Help. What are the steps. How do I not step on toes.

Did anyone feel completely lost and overwhelmed during their first project? I’m 2 weeks into my first project and just feel so hopeless and defeated at times.

Is now the time to buy a house or should I wait? This would be a second property to be used as a vacation rental when we’re not using it...

Some day I hope to be a lead account PPED. And I will be the type of PPED who doesn’t want to “review everything before it goes to the client”

Thoughts on standing desk. What do you own, Do you recommend. Thanks to the situation, sitting in a chair all day is pretty draining and depressing

Atl peeps- any suggestion for a good spot to park ourselves tomorrow evening and watch history being made?

Does anyone know any tricks to "cash out" of transportation benefits. Since the lockdown started I have some funds locked out in the transportation account with Payflex.Since the whole Covid situation it is very unlikely I will use these funds. The only option I found is that you can only use the funds for Uber carpool but it is also unlikely that I will go with 2-3 different people in a car.Another option I was thinking was to purchase a monthly pass, cancel the card and then calling for refund. Any ideas here?

I started a new job in the last two weeks and I’m curious if second thoughts are common. I think it’s too soon to tell if this is the right fit for me work wise, but it’s not exactly what I’m looking for. I was interviewing for my dream job at my dream company before C-19 made it go silent. I know I’m lucky to have a new opportunity but I’m worried I won’t put my best foot forward because I’m not excited about it. I may just be exhausted from burnout and a quick turn around. Any advice?

For those of you that travel - how did you initiate that conversation with your spouse? Just curious on what factors you took under consideration to have your SO be the full time weekly parent. Everyone's different but I'm just not confident my SO can manage it all on his own and while I'm currently on leave and looking for local projects upon return I am just curious for future reference.

Company just began offering the option for a 401k after tax contribution to be converted into a Roth 401k. Been doing some research on the benefits but a bit confused on the benefits and curious if anyone else has experience with this. Additionally I’m wondering where it fits on the traditional FIRE contribution ladder (i.e. max out 401k match -> HSA -> Roth IRA -> fully max 401k, etc). TIA!
