LEK if you want to travel less. Kearney if you want to do fewer DDs

Love how it's by what you want to avoid, not by what you actually want to do.

ATK. LEK seems to be in a bad spot. Rescinded summer internships and asking employees to take 3 weeks unpaid LOA.

I think LEK gave full-time offers to all their summer interns even though the internship won’t be happening so not a bad gig imo

Hi! I am seeking for an advise, anything helps! I applied to Accenture’s entry level analyst program. I applied a few days ago (I know it’s a bit late, but the application is still open thankfully).

Unfortunately, I got an email today from the system, they decided not to move forward :( Should I reach out to her abt this?

Hey fishes,

Let’s say
Brillio gave some joining bonus and if we are leaving within an year we need to pay it back.
So does it mean I need to put papers after one year or is that okay to put papers after 9 months, so serving 3 months notice makes it one year.
Please let me know if anyone had an idea about this.
