Bowl Leader
Thought this was interesting. Across 160 teams of researchers, just about all failed to make good life outcome predictions on things like GPA, evictions, layoffs, and others. Data followed 4.5k families across 15 years, with 13k features (varied over time). Haven't looked at it directly yet, but will be turning the docs and data inside out... In the meantime, authors claim this as showing the limits of ML. Oh, and it's published in PNAS, so you know there's some big publication energy there.

3.5 years in. Still ready for it any day.
D3 That has not been my experience, at all. Deloitte is very supportive of things like parental and family leaves, and developing and supporting people. Behaviors completely inconsistent with only caring about their numbers.
Deloitte is a business, so of course they care about the numbers, but the leadership I’ve interacted with recognize that our people ARE our business, and the majority of PPMDs are very caring people.
10 yrs in industry and still feel every damn time. M1: it’s becoz of unpredictable leadership and favoritism that exists.
Why do you think like that ? Are you basing this of on recent feedback or performance issues identified by someone in your team ? Otherwise, it could be typical imposter syndrome. 80% of the consultants have imposter syndrome regardless of what their position in the firm is.
Then don’t worry. Just create new hobbies in your life (like, getting in shape, learning a musical instrument, or volunteering etc.) that brings lot of positivity.
Me! Was certain I was going to get fired last week. I’m doing just fine.
I’m sure you’re doing great!!
Every day even though I perform well. Imposter syndrome at its very best.
Impostor syndrome is so real. It's a tough thing to deal with.
My solution? Fake it until you make it.
Our industry makes impostor syndrome very very likely. Every project and client forces you to deal with different cultures, technologies, environments, challenges, expectations, even different managers and colleagues. I’ve been in consulting for over 25 years and I learn something new every time.
The best you can do is embrace the chaos, and above all form good relationships with your clients and colleagues, and communicate well. If you do that, it’s much less likely that any gap in skills or knowledge are going to sink you.

When I said 80% of the consultants have imposter syndrome, it’s not a random number. There is an article in Harvard business review, that specifically talks about why consultants feel insecure about their job performance constantly.. worth looking into that article. I don’t have the subsricption anymore
Not just new hires. 12 years in and everyday I feel this way.
It’s not that I feel that I’m an imposter, it’s more that leadership provides no real guardrails so you never know where you stand
It’s just a matter of time until I find you, then you’re fired! 😉
Thing is even though you meant it in jest, the power dynamic makes it not funny.
