Anyone killing time at DFW?

Greetings from ATL

Hi,

Can someone please let me know how is the annual appraisal and growth in SLC?

I have gone through lot of posts in Glassdoor where existing employees are not happy with increments and slow growth.

37 / 13 years / 215K / PDX

Visiting San Diego for 4 nights in July. Staying in imperial beach area. Any recs?

Got an offer as a Senior 2 in EY’s FAAS practice for $117,500 base and $12,500 bonus. Home office is San Francisco. Is this expected for that position? Any insights?

37/F/ATL - is this thing still on?? Lol

It is TOO HOT in San Francisco today 🥵🥵

Our district is so lax on the students this year. With tech issues and distance learning days, we’ve gone from accommodating to enabling real quick. No penalties for late work, taking excuses for attendance, lower academic and behavioral standards... We were beginning to make so much progress on transforming our school culture, but this year is erasing that and then some. Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?

Are Uber/Lyft drivers reluctant to drive from DC (Logan) to BWI?

How hard is it to unload a lease in CLT? Has anyone done it before?

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

Ex big law capital markets attorneys - what’re you doing now? Do you like it? When did you leave? How much do you work? Can you touch on salary expectations, both as soon as you left, and end of career?

NYC struggles: 1st paycheck to rent, 2nd to pay off credit cards. Almost none for savings. Maybe it's time to rethink my lifestyle of drinks and debauchery ✌️

What kind of consulting did you all do and where if you exited to PE investing roles? Every single head hunter I’ve spoken to says these MM firms want banking experience

What is the average hike we can expect this year considering outside market conditions?

Mr. Manager is posting again y'all 🤡

So my flight ran out of woodfords before take off 😱

Best consulting companies with exposure to the blockchain / digital assets space?

If your role is being closed/being laid off (not due to performance issues) just firm downsizing, do you tell the companies you are interviewing? How to phrase it?

3 Day PTO starts now...my buddy's bachelor party. Forget you, utilization.

If you had to take a shot every 20 minutes, how far into a workday could you make it until you were visibly drunk? Assuming a 9am start time. I think I could make it until 1pm.

I'm almost at the point of an offer, and also just started a 6 month long engagement since my utilization was taking a hit. How do you fish recommend dealing with the situation once the offer comes?

2yrs of post-undergrad experience at D and have offers from two FAANG companies. Worth it to stick it out for a couple more years to open up more offers down the road, or should I get out while I can?

Any book recommendations for someone looking to get into a Product Owner / Manager role?

When you check into the Westin and they say welcome home and you know that's weird but it's kind of soothing

I have gathered that aside from MBB, ACN pays their employees the most and pretty significantly more than big 4. Jumping 🚢 A$AP.

So glad I made the call to leave the client early and fly home yesterday. Woke up to an email notification this morning that my original flight was canceled due to the big snow storm today in Denver. Maybe I’ll get one more pow day tomorrow! Have a great weekend everyone!

Suggested books or resources to learn more about strategy consulting? Different analysis, acronyms, etc.

Advice for being successful while working remotely on a project?

The world is a vampire…

Not liking the fact it gets dark by 4PM

Notice there are so many people with debate experience in consulting. Kinda impressed. Any highly recommended books related to debate or communication in general?

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

Any audio book recommendations to listen to when backpacking / vacationing?

What are some publications, books, podcasts, online classes etc that can help me prepare for my first year in consulting? Have 5 years of experience in finance and making the jump to consulting.
