Any business casual shoe recommendations? Looking to buy a pair of shoes to go into the office. TIA!

I'm done getting paid 1/3 of the class teacher pay and expected to teach the lessons. The other Paras in the class seem to think this is normal. I certainly don't get the same respect as the teacher. Am I alone here?

I need a laugh. Tell me about your most entitled client.

Mine called my personal cell phone on Christmas Day to ask me the status of her case while I was in the middle of watching my kids open presents. I’d just talked to her the week before and told her that the defendants had 30 days to respond.

When your team director calls you out for liking crazy rich Asians, and says, “I didn’t call on you because you’re Asian....” in front of my entire team of 70 people.

Any ideas how to reward team members who put a ton of work to get a massive project done on time?
Normally I’d take them to dinner and drinks, but that’s not really possible now, and apparently gift cards are taxable and agency doesn’t want to do it. How do you celebrate project launches during the end times?

And before someone suggests raises, yeah I’d love to, but obviously not my call.

I am working for a client in infosys and the project is in initial stage and the go live is somewhere in January.

Now the thing is this project has lot of toxic people from client team and they play blame games on daily basis.

I am working as a team lead here and want to get deallocated from this project.

Please help me with right approach and save my soul.

I find myself questioning basic politeness I’ve learned since a child. Wondering what everyone else thinks. I work with an associate. She’s great. When she does good work or something I’ve asked her to do, I, of course, say “thank you!” I don’t really expect a response. She always replies “you’re welcome!” Or some variation. And for some reason, that’s awkward. Is it just me? I know in normal manners, that is the right response. Why does it sit funny?

Can I ask my agent to listen while he talks to the listing agent? (Is there any rules that that wouldn’t allow or would they need to disclose that I’m also on the call)?

What's the dress code at your office? Looking to see how many firms are business casual.

What has been the impact of harassment allegations on new business? Are clients avoiding tainted agencies?

What's the process for leaving the firm? Is there a formal process that I have to go through or do I just tell my PML that I took another opportunity and I'm out in 2 weeks?

I’m not from an English speaking country but I am watching a tv show and businessmen walk into a room and instead of greeting eachother, everyone says each person’s first name in lieu of hi, however in my experience working in the states, I haven’t seen anyone do this, it’s always hi or good afternoon or some other greeting first THEN they say their first name. is it also appropriate to omit the greeting?

What should I reasonably expect from a junior?

I manage a junior developer that's been with the company for about 18 months. I end up providing them of TON of support. I need to give them extremely detailed instructions or they fail. For bugs, I need to point them to a specific function that's causing the bug. For new features, I'm basically writing their method signatures and defining their test cases.

I've tried asking them to do more on their own, but when I do, they fail spectacularly.

Curious to know how closely you (creatives) work with your strategy/ planning counterparts. What is the dynamic you share?

My manager was sharing screens with me a week ago, and by mistake, he overshared some of his bachelor party plans. Now he is all embarrassed. I think his plans were funny, but I don't know how to don't make it awkward anymore. Any advice?

Honest question here-hw do I work better with Indians who come over frm India(on-site) to client?My patience with them is at an all time low since they jst dnt gt the methodology & hate owning anythng

One of our older employees is constantly failing IT's phishing tests. We've given her several warnings and we're now at a point where she will have to face some type of consequence (up to HR). My thing is, she is older and isn't as tech-savvy. I want to advocate for her to cut her some slack but I also want to be mindful of the fact that she has access to very sensitive information and is constantly on the verge of leaking this information. Any advice on how to navigate?

Partners- can you please help me understand the following scenario.

This partner always say hi to me and smiles at me. Recently, he avoids me and doesn’t say hi to me. His favorite manager, doesn’t

Fashion Q: what kinds of pants do you guys wear day-to-day? I know skinny jeans are considered “out,” but super baggy mom jeans are not flattering on my small frame. I wear leggings when I’m WFH, but I want to look slightly more put-together/fashionable outside my home

Welp, I did it. Took on a client who I knew was going to be trouble, and now they don’t want to pay me. Overall, I’m chalking this up to a lesson learned, but any advice for rolling with the punches when you have a negative client interaction? I’ve been a coach for years with all positive feedback, and I think this hurt my pride more than anything.

Hi

Is there any vaccancy in Accenture (Bangalore Location) for Semi-Qualified CA (Articleship if done from Deloitte)?
If there is any kindly let me know.

Last year I moved internally from a
Paralegal level 11 w/ 14 yrs exp at
$100k base + up to 8% bonus to my
current role as compliance manager
level 9 at $123k base + up to 35%
bonus. I was above cap in my prior
role and now my range is up to $138k
base. I'm being recruited to my old
team as a level 10
Manager with
same base/bonus as now but since it's
a lower level I will cap out within a
year. I always found the legal work
more interesting but limited in career
growth. Not sure what to do.

Best business-oriented, but novel-style books with good writing, style, & interesting characters? Not really self-help/advise focused, more of actual literature with business themes/plots. Any recs?

Does Delta re-use the red blankets and pillows?

How long is the cooldown period for BCG?

So I just got an email inviting me to do a virtual recorded interview with Bain

Does anyone have any insights on whether this is the first round?

What type of questions do they ask?

I am hearing that MBB is pausing majority of the interviews - should I be worried about my offer getting rescinded? I luckily got my offer a few months ago and received my signing bonus already.

For those of you 🐠 who worked at another consulting firm before joining MBB, what would you say are the biggest differences between them?

Looking to apply to MBB at 1-2 YOE after undergrad. Undergrad GPA isn’t bad, but not MBB quality. Will it help if I take the GMAT early and include the score on my app? How high is good enough? 750+?

Any folks at MMB/T2 in St. Louis open to connect? Are there many local projects or do you travel most of the time?

I need a mentor to guide me for a job role in MBB. I have 5 YOE (4.5 years in Manufacturing & Automation 6 months in SaaS) any volunteers?

Anyone willing to give a referral for a McKinsey?

Alright folks - who thinks they had the best holiday party this year? 🎉

Bain🐠, do ANY of y’all know experienced hires that got into your firm pre-MBA (no advanced degree)? These mythical creatures, or rather unicorns that are rare but possible?

MBB interviewers: Given constant GPA, SAT & UG Program, what increases chance of an industry hire landing a generalist interview: 1-2 YOE at Big 4, ACT, Booz, etc OR 1-2 YOE at Spotify, Snap, Bird...

McKinsey 🐠: how much did you practice before your case interviews? (i.e. how many weeks / months in advance, how many hours per week, etc?) any tips on most effective ways to prep as an experienced hire coming in at the associate level? (No MBA or finance background so may need some extra prep to learn key concepts / terms)

does the mckinsey survey mean anything more than nothing? gotta assume a referral trumps the survey

Insight about knowledge specialist roles at Bain? TC + relationship to associates would be helpful to know

What are the career levels at BCG? Specially trying to understand where does the Product Manager role fit in

Is MBB laying off professionals (more than performance - based exits)?

What does it take to pass final rounds?

I did decently well on all components (framework, brainstorming, exhibits) but made 2 calculation mistakes with one interviewer… already anxious as I wait for news

Best way to approach networking with MBB if I am planning to apply for roles in Jan 2024 (1 year from now). Do people start with their school alum and get referred to partners?

What does the BCG Project Leader interview process look like for an experienced hire consulting lateral in the US?
