Man, you're really on this kick that Booz should be strictly an advisory company even though the advisory market is plummeting economy-wide, and even more so in the fed space.

We've been doing tech for 10+ years now, nothing is new on that front but the branding.

I'm not sure why you think we should completely flip our business model around to focus on a brand new, tiny segment.

If you want to start an advisory firm focused on advising firms trying to get into the fed space, by all means, go for it and I sincerely wish you the best. But that is the kind of change that would likely see us shed 90%+ of our staff and see our finances plummet.

Booz failed to adapt. It got fat and lazy from gorging at the government trough and saw no reason to be anything other than a staffing agency. What we're seeing now is a mad scramble to paper over a failure of leadership with marketing BS. Booz was always more about optics than outcomes so long as Wall Street was happy. Booz is no more a tech company than Golden Corral is a 5-star restaurant.

Hi Fishes,
My total experience is 5 in QA, I attended Deloitte interview. First round was technical and it went quite well, they asked lot of theory questions. I answered few and quite I was not sure of answers. She gave feedback like my communication and confidence level is good and project wise I'm having good knowledge and coming to concept wise it's not upto the mark for experience. So my query is will they call me for next round?I really wanna get selected since Deloitte is mydream company

Does anyone have some advice on how to approach applying to jobs during this transition?

Our appraisal came through exactly as the offer price we put. Apparently by lenders 3rd party. Isnt that a bit fishy? If it came in lower our contract has the option to negotiate a bit with seller. Is lender just trying to push this along faster? I'm pretty sure in this crazy market the home is not valued at what we offered. Why would seller put a much lower asking price then? Make no sense. Please advise!

I finally broke down and went back on HRT last week. I have been taking gabapentin for a nerve injury which I’ve learned helps hot flashes. I can’t tell a significant difference yet aside from maybe getting a little better sleep. I saw a new doctor (male) to get my prescription refilled and he seems to have a different philosophy than my last doctor (female). He wants me to be on HRT until 51, but after that he doesn’t recommend it. I hope by that age I’ll be off the gabapentin…
