Just ask. Managers are not exactly dying to give presentations.

I’m rfa not consulting but I made it a point to ask to get more client time and my team obliged. I’ve been presenting since my 3rd or 4th month. Probably depends on your team/client/importance of the presentations

In my 2 years at delotte ive seen consultants, senior consultants, managers… if u want a shot it cant hurt to ask, maybe they allow you to present a piece of the analysis

When I was a first year analyst I had opportunities to present

We like to give junior folks an opportunity to present from Day 1 (well maybe Day 30 so we at least know we’re not throwing them to the wolves). Start with low stakes stuff (one slide in one small team meeting where the consultant did the analysis) and build them up. If you want to present more definitely ask your manager and include it in your development plans for the year.

10 mths ago i was talking to an acquaintance (lives in IN, same age late 20s) and they were having a baby. I expressed my congratulations and during the convo said something like, ‘…here i can’t bring myself to adopt a pup and you’re prepared for such a big responsibility’. Everything’s cool.
Present: (randomly) they remind me of this and say they understood my intent but want to teach me that I was culturally inappropriate.

There are acts of destruction daily in my classroom. Most of my classes are 25 kids in a small room. When my attention is taken for a second, someone does something like this. Gluing things to counters. Hiding paintbrushes instead of cleaning them. 15 years, I've tried everything to cultivate a respectful classroom culture, and they just don't care. I'm so tired. So, so tired. I don't know how much longer I can do this.
