Bain & Company At an MBB and just been placed on a PIP in consulting, and was given feedback on four main development areas. Any suggestions on the following:

1) Getting clarity on an ambiguous problem - try to understand the objective, layout the unclear parts, or at least know what needs to be clear for you to have a solution, have a point of view, and clarify with the PL

Any suggestions that works for folks here on this? Boston Consulting Group McKinsey & Company Strategy& Oliver Wyman Bain & Company

Literally get a piece of paper and write it down. Not a computer cause that leads to more notifications and distractions. Piece of paper

Take the unclear part, break it into things that you know, things that you are unsure of and questions that you need answered to get clarity.

Take those questions, develop action (aka research or analytics) plans to solve them, take them to your manager and align. Then execute

Pretty sure they just did.

Feedback seems to be focused on increasing structure and process to the way you approach problems - would focus on getting a good process and ensuring you follow that closely.

PIPs are generally politically driven though , suggest looking for better opportunities in a different company

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting. What do you guys think about this? I would be able to predict based on your firm(mbb, big4), your experience, which role you are likely to move (Faang pm, strategy manager, move to mbb). I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?

I know this sounds weird, but I think my fiancé has my tech tapped… I journal and write short stories that I’ve used as an outlet for years. Way before I met him. Lately, it feels like he repeats things that I’ve written or said over the phone. For example, I’ll tell a friend that I want to visit her in San Diego. Then, he’ll come home and say I should visit my friend in San Diego soon. Am I paranoid or is he really listening? I feel violated and exposed. He doesn’t have a tech background.
