Hi Fishes,

In my offer i see this line " We may require you to travel to other locations including in India and internationally." ,however in my earlier post I came to know that there are no travel opportunities in Telstra .Does it mean in the future I can negotiate with my manager for the travel?

How can I land a job in copywriting/creative when I've been in paid social for a while and don't really have a strong portfolio? Where's the best place to start?

Considering Deloitte Delivery Center role in Tech as an Architect, thoughts on their DCs? Also what is D Healthcare like (provider?). I’m assuming usual high & low deductible, also gold plan? Thanks

Anyone know a good method of showing dollars saved by increasing (rail) fleet utilization?

What are your most satisfying alternative foods? Mine is sunflower seeds (in kernel) over potato chips/crisps.

House or student loans? About 150k in federal student loan debt, and with IBR payments I can save for a down payment on a house in 3-4 years. My other option is to aggressively pay my student loans, but this would take me 10-12 years and I wouldn’t have money for significant travel, down payment, things I never had growing up, etc.... I feel like I work too hard to deny myself “the fruits of my labors” if you will, and that I only have so much time to enjoy my younger years. Thoughts?

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

I’m not onboard with the direction our engagement partner is taking. I’m aware that I could very well be wrong, but I would still like to respectfully disagree.

What are Deloitte senior manager targets? What kind of numbers do top quartile SM put up ?

Partners, what are the biggest & most underrated trends you've seen in the consulting industry? Maybe some that have happened over the past decade, others happening now. Cont'd.

Partners who were highly technical in their past. Were there any skills, thought processes or behaviours you had to gain or lose to get to where you are today?

Perhaps an odd question, but I've recently moved into a technical career track. I perform well and have a great career sponsor who has asked me to think bigger about my career goals. I've noticed my social skills and way of thinking are shifting towards stereotypical Engineer. Less social, less big picture thinking.

Big 4 PPMD to accenture MD - pros and cons? Differences?

What questions do you love to hear from analysts who are trying to network with you?

Partners, can you share your experiences when you went thru a period of losses/ low-confidence / self doubts , and what you did to overcome? Also, how long it take to get your mojo back?

Big4 and Mid tier- All partners have a vesting period and if you leave before that 10 year mark , you dont get those retirement benefits correct? I noted some firms actively push out partners nearing that 10 year period. I have seen it happen. Is that a normal practice to shake out some dead weight so to speak before they reach that 10 year mark? Seems cut throat but is that part of the business now?

Joined my current firm because of my mentor referred me to one of his contact. I wanted to thank his contact for hiring me but was told by my mentor to stay low and wait for him to come to me. Cont.

If partners move from one firm to another, what exactly the new firm they join gains from them? I don’t think partners will be able to take clients and business with them while moving between the firms. Correct me if I am wrong.

Is there any way to know at what company one could make partner quicker? If you’re a Sr Manager and could do the same work at any of the Big 4, what factors would you consider?

Partner 🐠: How much “sourcing” do you have to do at your current company? I am asking because i enjoy responding to RFPs issued by potential clients or helping existing clients with new projects where they need help, but I don’t feel very comfortable trying to source new projects without leads, it feels very artificial much similar to cold calling, and being introverted does not help

Partners & Sr. consulting leaders - if you were 31 and a Sr. Manager at a company like Accn/Deloitte/IBM and had a shot at going to McK, Bain or BCG as an Associate, would you take it? Pros & cons?

Ok, Partners. How many of you actually see travel requirements changing when we get out of this pandemic? Single guy here and I want a dog!

Is McKinsey’s partnership structure & requirement different to other big 4? If people at 29 become partners, aren’t there too many partners by now? How’s it sustainable ?

Deloitte consulting partner vs Accenture principal. Is comp and pension comparable? SAP implementation.

Hi Partners, was a tech consultant before joining EY..it’s very different from where I came from..no prob bonding with teammates, clients I work with but have a hard time bonding with my CONT

Lateral hire, having an intro call with a Director at my new firm in an industry I want to join. How do I make sure I don’t waste their time with silly or redundant questions?

Partners and All, went through this thread and there are questions on titles and comp. is there a way we can create one post and pin it, so the questions here will be focussed on non-comp. (contd)
