Am I the only person who actually likes busy season? The rest of the year seems so boring.

Lol. I heard busy season at KPMG is more chill.

I heard the opposite way. LoL. I guess depends on the engagement, and one person couldn’t represent all.

I have always loved busy season. I feel like it is the time that I learn and grow the most. It is like the playoffs in professional sports. Your performance during this period determines your future.

This basically sums up my feels. Don’t want to stay in public past manager for reasons, but damn, I’ll miss it when I quit.

I do multiple things so I move from busy season to busy season, so no. Usually bearable with office happy hours and other events with my friends at work which are all off the table. This year completely sucks and I’m not feeling what you’re feeling.

I like busy season because there are actual deadlines. These fake internal only deadlines to sign off on like planning documents just give me zero motivation

We are looking to restructure our marketing team (B2B IT services) and one of the questions I have is: how does recruitment marketing / employer branding fit into the marketing team?
Over the last year EB and RM have become increasingly larger parts of our team’s work, but it’s not part of the marketing commercial targets (just helping recruitment meet their targets). Are they completely separate in your company? Or part of the team and if so how?

I’m on an engagement with another associate. I’m fully booked (upwards of 60 hours a week every week of July), while the other associate hasn’t had billable hours for the last 3 months... engagement team has some changes they need to get pushed through to the wps, and I’m the better choice to push those updates (have more experience in wps and just better in general). But the other associate has availability and just gets paid to do nothing. Should I bring that up to someone? How and to whom?
