Any Huron consultants here? I'm starting in a couple weeks and curious about how many people take advantage of the mobile plan. Or I guess any consulting firms really! Entering consulting from client side, and this is all new to me!

Take advantage of all benefits. You don't work as a charity.

I guess my main concern is maintaining boundaries as KPMG 1 mentioned below. I'm concerned about loss of privacy and blurring the lines between personal/professional by joining a corporate plan.

I mean it doesn't really matter. I personally like the separation, so I opted for two phones. It's nice to be able to just leave my phone at home on weekends when I know I don't need to worry about work.

Our phones are also our hotspot, so also nice to be able to use that when I need to and not worry about both phones dying.

I have two phones for the same reason as H1 above.

Agreed. Get two phones.

Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?

This post is an alert message for anyone joining the Johnson & Johnson EMEA account for SAP & had Rakesh Sharma for their Manager round.

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.

How to deal with people flirting with you at work.
I’m married, and one of my coworkers flirts with me. Nothing super overt, but definitely not professional. We’re good friends and work together constantly because we’re on the same client, so I don’t want to make it awkward. Do I just do nothing and let it go? It is mostly just odd I’m not super offended, but I’m also clearly uninterested!
