Biggest Uber pet peeves? I'll start. 1. Not using a good navigation tool (google or waze) and taking wrong directions. 2. Small talk when I'm clearly on the phone or have my laptop out.

Small talk is absolutely the worst. If I don't have my phone or laptop out it's because I'm absolutely fried. I've just started getting aggressive about telling people I'm working.

I feel left out in my firm. How do I make 'friends' with my colleagues? I've been here for a year. I am naturally not a very out going person, was never 'cool' and I struggle to speak in group situations / make engaging conversation with higher ups. It is an important trait to have in this job and I just don't know how to do this. It makes me very upset - I even sought therapy but wasn't useful. I can't spend 14 hours each day feeling like this:(

Thanks in advance

I’ve been on the bench with less than 10% utilization for 3wks now. I’m a first year and the past month has been slower with not many new projects coming in.

Hello! I’m a clinical healthcare worker and am currently working on a master’s in finance to pivot to healthcare consulting.

Would anyone be willing to connect for internships or work for companies that love non-traditional candidates? Thank you

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
