Is it a good time to buy properties in nyc?

Why has it been so dang hard to move from banking to a strategy role in my industry or expertise? Or a start up? 90% of my applications have passed on me before even giving me a first round interview! I’ve been on over 6 deals, and wanting out and it’s been extremely frustrating! Any insight or advice?

Nothing worse than an analyst who thinks they know everything and can't think big picture - neither can you take direction nor do you understand broader context around said comments

What do you guys do when you're asked to share your screen for a presentation where you're just a listener? If I weren't presenting I'd take notes or work but now I can't!

Any book recommendations for philosophy, psychology, and business? Or any book you read last year changed your values? Going to fly international, gonna read it on flight. 😍

I'm always the one reaching out to keep in touch and have coffee with people, that includes both peers and superiors . Sometime I wish that others would do the same to me.

Which top consulting firms, if any, will pay for your MBA?

If your role is being closed/being laid off (not due to performance issues) just firm downsizing, do you tell the companies you are interviewing? How to phrase it?

I *think* Accenture is doing it right with regards to expenses. Overall, pretty relaxed with the perdiem and other expense policies in comparison it seems. That's actually a huge deal.

Are you happy with where you are in your career today? Why or why not? Was Consulting everything that you thought it would be?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?

Hello fine people,
I have a question. I am a GDS employee wishing to relocate to another country as EY country “x” employee. The plan to relocate to country x was already in motion, if not EY then another org. The EY partner from country x is very interested in having me join their team but not sure about my GDS partner because they will be losing billing and may not like it. Is there a way I can approach this with my leaders? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I do not prospect. I open accounts while slamming a revolving door.

Alright grill me I don't care. But I matched with a guy on an app and we have great conversations. However, after going on a few dates with him, it's obvious he looks nothing like his pictures. He has grown his hair out a lot and grown king facial hair and it's just not what I was into when we matched? I really thought he looked different and something about his hair being long and so greasy makes it hard for me to be into him. I know I sound awful but what do I do / say?
