Glad everybody is so amused by my post. Jeez. Just new to this market and hoping to avoid a holding company agency.

We are snarky here, but to be fair you are asking for a unicorn in this industry.

High Dive and Quality Meats are the indie darlings, but are hard to get into and if you do get in, plan to work very hard.

OKRP is indie but the work isn’t as great, but the pay is better and you’ll get a little better WLB.

You can get one or two out of the three, but you can’t get all three.

Does anyone know if their firm has any inclusion initiatives around hiring individuals with special needs as part of a transition program? For example, when offices are open, having individuals be employed by the firm and help with more administrative tasks such as helping to get conference rooms set up for events, assisting visitors, etc.? My younger brother has special needs so am trying to help my parents look for a few options and was wondering if any of the consulting firms have this!
