What is everyone’s perception of these consulting firms in order of best to worst (taking into account work/life balance, pay, difficulty to get in, etc):

Accenture, Booz Allen, KPMG, Deloitte, EY, PwC, CGI

Can someone connect me to a business analyst role that doesn’t require a ton of prior business analyst experience? I have ~1.5 YOE in valuation (modeling, financial statement analysis) and am looking to make a switch. Mainly looking for a role with less hours than I’m currently working (60-70). Thank you I’m advance

Starting at Deloitte in a few weeks as a Specialist Leader. The 401k match is only .5%? Why so low? Does it ever increase?

Why does everyone bag on ATL? It’s actually not a bad connecting airport.

How can someone find a job localizing marketing content (taking poorly translated material and fixing it up for US consumers)? I've heard that it's a real job but can't find much information about it

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.

What are the weirdest reasons you have heard for people being laid-off? I have heard someone getting laid off because they missed submitting their time-sheets for 3 times in a year.

Want to warn stakeholders that their hostile, posturing emails with our main client CC'd is only going to backfire (main client ❤️ us). emails will no joke prob get some of them fired. #restructuring

Startup idea: marketplace where you could sell your airline, hotel, etc. points. So many folks have hundreds of thousands of points that they never plan to use.

Smart to look for a new job with a “recession” looming? Wanted to leave by end of the year, but nervous I’d be the first laid off at a new spot

Best consulting firms (including boutiques) if you want to do product design/development

How does your firm measure utilization? I work for a small boutique that defines it as utilization = number of billable hours/2,080 and full bonus payout occurs at 80% plus.

I just got my first promotion! Start in the new role next week. Any general tips for hitting the ground running when you change orgs? I really want to make a good impression with the new team.

How many of you work directly with business clients (sales, marketing, R&D, supply chain etc. - essentially, non IT)?
Or is it the onshore business analyst who acts as a bridge between you and business?

I keep getting accused of being a bot in live chat. Should I approach my boss about being less scripted, or is the efficiency worth it?

Situation: got an offer from firm X; highly likely to get a better offer from firm Y but official offer would take a couple of more weeks in best case scenario. However, firm X’s offer validity about to run out. Would you: (1) accept X’s offer now but rescind later if Y converts (2) ask X for additional time to decide (they’re “prestigious” and may not offer additional time...) (3) Play straight, decline X and hope Y converts (4) any other creative ideas ...???

Please feel free to post any question regarding any firm - we all understand how daunting it can be leaving your comfort zone and join another firm - I am sure there must be someone in the community who can advise you on your potential new role. Please invite others to this bowl if you know they are in a similar situation!

Hi All! What does that mean when hiring manager responds back on follow-up email, saying “I’ll keep you posted on the next steps”Are they still considering or is it just a new way of rejection?waiting is so painful. :(

Curious: are there more lowball offers during the pandemic season or is compensation levels relatively stable?

Agency recruiters, how would you rate today’s market for creatives? Is it more of a freelancers’ market or is it tight for everyone at the moment?

I saw some sales managers discussing hiring strategies, especially for entry level roles (e.g. SDR, BDR).

One strategy that came up was having the applicant do 90 minutes of cold calling into real prospects with the hiring manager coaching.

What do you think of this approach? Would be curious to hear from both hiring manager perspectives and from candidate perspectives.

So, what happens if you miss your utilization/billable hour target by like 70-150 hours? Tons of "impactful" PRD work
