Hi Guys, How is Capgemini Invent? Is it a different company or SL? How are its projects and opportunities?

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry. I have been applying internally for a year now and I am wondering if this is normal or if my company is just slow? I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up? How many tries did it take?

Is it totally weird to request another meeting after getting a job offer to make sure it's a right fit? 🤔

I've noticed that sometimes I still have lingering questions. ❔

I've been burnt out by toxic work environments, so I don't want to make another mistake. 🙄

How would you handle this logistics of this meeting? (Timing - after the offer but with time before you start? How to phrase the reason why?)

Thanks! 🔅☺️

After 3 years, the therapist disclosed that she’s in the program. I had wondered often about the source of her knowledge of the steps. Still I would’ve preferred her to remain anonymous in this regard. Now I keep wondering about whether I’ll see her at a meeting and what her story is. So odd. So self centered of me.

We are renovating a condo and the previous owner had two Crane toilets (not sure how old, but functioning although seals are old according to our contractor). Back outlet flour mount ones are the only options for the building, and one toilet can cost $300-$500.

We are redoing all the bathroom tiles and walls and debating what we should do with the two toilets. Would resealing the toilets extend the use life? Or should we just replace the toilets? Any other recommendations? TIA!!

Amazon peeps... What base compensation adjustment would you expect after performance reviews?

Hi, Is there anyone in here who is a QA (Quality Assurance or Tester)? Can someone share how to get started in QA If you have no tech background? I would love to get some insights if you are someone who has transitioned into QA or testing with no prior experience or background, and how did you get your roles ?

Thanks a lot!

Does anyone have any experience or insight into any of the audit firms that focus specifically on digital assets, crypto mining, blockchain etc for e.g Cohen & Co ?

Hotel or corporate housing? Benefits and drawbacks of each. This is for a long term engagement in Denver. I really like getting my Marriott points, but wouldn’t mind staying some weekends in Denver.

Here's a question I wish I never had to ask. Is it better to use the code for bereavement leave or just burn pto I'm going to lose anyway? Does it make a difference from a utilization standpoint?

I know Mck is the top for strategy, but in terms of digital/design in top consulting firms which do you think is better? Mckinsey digital or deloitte digital? (Or another..?)

Exit strategy for an associate who's only been with the firm for less than two years? No MBA.. but tired of the traveling, and been stuck on the same long term project there's no getting out of

Thoughts on calendar being double booked? What are the etiquettes to be followed. Often people double book and it feels like “ my meeting is more important that whatever you have booked time for in yours”. If both meetings are same urgency/importance - what’s the best approach ? What are the expectations of leadership - to throw everything away and jump on to calls based on seniority ?

Good consulting books? Not talking case prep but a fun read about the industry and what it takes to succeed, etc. Thank you!

I have a consulting/PE interview on Friday, please recommend consulting books or sites to read. Need to speak consulting language

Got laid off but found a job. Unfortunately I can’t start for like 2 months. Any ideas on jobs I could do in the meantime? Can’t drive so no Uber. Willing to do minimum wage, anything will help

How does your firm measure utilization? I work for a small boutique that defines it as utilization = number of billable hours/2,080 and full bonus payout occurs at 80% plus.

Does Accenture get a discount on the iPhone X? I talked to an MD who did... not sure if it's just an MD thing or what.

Sometimes I feel like everything in the world is out to get me. Born into a poor family with an incompetent father, educationally slow younger sibling, lesbian, in debt, etc. days like these....

For those that have been laid off, how’s the job search going? Have you gotten offers fairly quickly (I.e. 2-4 weeks after getting the notice)?

Does anyone have good book recommendations which talk about varying leadership styles?

What the hell is PWC's human-centered design badge on LinkedIn that every intern and new employee posts? It's horrid but now I'm curious.

Lot of previous posts here have been deleted, if you guys know what I mean

Sheraton bed or the Westin bed in terms of good night sleep? In other words, If you had to buy one which one would you go for?

I'm feeling quite down today.

Interested in a San Francisco/Bay Area networking/support group for consultants that have been laid off?

Contemplating a career switch into consulting as I want to go non-technical. I don't want to pay 250k for ivy league MBA. I have a MS in computer engg from a top 5 engineering school. 7YOE at a top 3 semiconductor as ML/AI engineer.

I can get 300+ maybe up to 400-450k TC in FAANG but not liking technical stuff anymore.

Do you think aiming for MBB for a Management Consulting[tech domain] role is a stretch given I have no consulting background? What kind of compensation can I expect?
