Can folks from PwC share how exactly your all remote model works? So, an employee opting for remote works with any team across time zones ? Or across states in same time zone? Also, how do you staff on / find a project? Are there people working totally with teams outside their office, as say nobody or few in their own group/ office opted for remote model? Would that be true?

DS folks have a very different and specialized tool chest. In general they have to learn how to ask questions. In consulting, since their skillset is expensive and they aren't generally brought in early in understanding the client's problems, they unfortunatelt learn to hyperfocus on their tool chest and not the intent. In general, this is why non-veteran DS consultants are all meh: they haven't had enough runway to learn from their mistakes.
I’m a DS consultant, and our engagements tend to be mixed teams with generalists who scope out the business strategy, needs, and applications (and honestly do a lot of the slide-making and client-side employee info chasing ❤️). I think that is a great model, but there are also people on the DS side who have keen business sense in their own right.
There’s nothing stopping you from doing that extra bit of due diligence in finding out where this metric really comes from, or how that output is going to be used, or what is the overall plan for the project etc
Totally fair, and I didn’t really mean “you” as in you personally so much as DS practitioners in general. A lot of DSs could benefit from taking a greater interest in the business context
