How long it takes to get become a manager from Senior Consultant 3 in EY?

_build is > 1000 employees as of now. It needs it's own bowl.

How do you all find freelance opportunities?

Curious the pay difference between SAP and partner consulting firms. What can a S4 HANA cloud or OnPrem consultant expect to get paid at a place like EY or another big 4 firm with 3-5 years of experience in PMO/Functional Consulting roles with an MBA?

What are some good product based companies to work as Data Engineer?
Good in terms of learning, interesting work and good work culture.

When do my licenses transfer to my new firm? Start date or after I sign the offer? Still interviewing before the start date...

What is everyone’s: (1) billable hours this year; (2) practice group; (3) year; and (4) size of law firm?

What are your strategies for completing work efficiently? How do you figure out how long projects should take? A consistent piece of feedback on my yearly reviews has been that I over-bill & spend too much time on assignments. It’s something I actively work on, but I still have no concrete sense of how long I should spend on basic tasks (e.g., drafting a motion to dismiss). My firm is right to expect that I manage my time better as a mid-level associate. WFH has made my time management worse.

How do you add positive structure to your life outside of work? I am way too worn out when I get home and my ADHD just takes over...

Just curious. Excluding business recovery / restructuring teams that are more counter-cyclical. What TS group do you think is the least cyclical? Valuation / modeling? Accounting advisory? Then lastly how “cyclical” do you view them?

Hey, international student here, struggling to find companies that will sponsor from a non target school. I have experience in both VC and consulting gigs, generally in healthcare but open to others. Any leads/referrals appreciated.

I and my boyfriend have been dating over a year now. Our relationship in general is pretty smooth and sweet. The only problem is he has not come out to his parents yet. It was not an issue before the pandemic thing since we were just living in the city, being in our own bubble. But Covid happened and he moved back to stay with his dad. Since he is not out, he can’t pick up the phone call whenever I call him, he can’t tell his parents he is dating someone in the city. Cont.

Trying to get ahead of my caseload feels like trying to climb a hill made of loosely-packed pebbles. No matter how much I scrabble, I’m sliding closer and closer to the bottom.

How do you get caught up (or even ahead) when you’re always behind? Assume that all things that can be offloaded have been offloaded. I cannot take one more all nighter trying to get a motion drafted two days before the deadline because I couldn’t get to it earlier.

How much do you tip the doormen in your building at the end of the year?

Where do you work outside of work when home isn’t an option? Go to library, coffee shop, restaurant?

My US rep, state rep, and state senator are all running unopposed.

Did you recently remodel your bathroom? Would love GC recommendations. 🙏🏼 As advertising folks, I am assuming you have good design sensibilities and taste. Where did you look for inspiration?

Oh boy it was chilly tonight! Not ready for whats to come 😭

Anyone hiring a recruiter, preferably campus? 2 YOE at Big 4 firm, additional unrelated YOE in prior path. 80k salary or higher? Ty in advance!

Where are the dark skinned male professionals in Chicago? Where do yall hangout? .. dark skinned SINGLE men 🤪

Is having a pet in the city too much of a hassle? Thinking of getting a pure bred Husky

Don't hate me but Brookly style pizza >>> Chicago deep dish, any day, any time.

Whenever I hear debates from the radical left and conservative right on gun control, it's always about Chicago being a war zone. It's crazy how far removed I am from it all in the suburbs. Kind of makes me feel a bit bad like I'm not really contributing to a better Chicago

Is anyone else hoping for an insane blizzard to hit mid-next week so they have an excuse not to drive downstate to spend Thanksgiving with their extended family? Some of my family's FB posts since last week's elections tell me it's going to be a long holiday weekend.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the University Club? Pros/Cons

Hello! Planning to move to Chicago in Feb(Not the best time, for sure) would love to hear your suggestions about neighbourhoods that you are in and beyond. Currently looking at the loop, Logan square, Lincoln park and Lakeview (would prefer closer to the Red line and groceries)! It’s my first time moving alone and a little nervous lol, would love some help! Budget is around 800$ (2B/2B) for sharing and 1000$ for a studio! Any leads/suggestions/options would be great! TIA!!!

Oak park vs. Evanston - thoughts?

It’s snowing today and I’m not ready for it, mentally at least.

Anyone work at Revantage?

I have zero clue where to ask this question so I am going to try here - WHAT is with the tree at Daley Center Plaza near the NW corner of Dearborn and Washington that is always just absolutely covered in birds. Like thousands of birds. Does anyone else know what I am talking about or am I losing it?

How can I make friends in Chicago?

Anyone have paramore tickets for tonight and can’t make it?
