Brutal project. 18-hour days for 3 weeks straight. Few more weeks to go. I’m seriously thinking of quitting

I have been seeing a lot of discussions/ questions about the bad WLB at Deloitte among folks. Guys, Deloitte is a highly reputed firm that is known for the quality of work. They charge heavily to clients. (Almost 5-6 times hourly rate than a typical IT firm). Naturally, the clients want to get the work done ASAP with quality. Hence there is a massive amount of work pressure on the management and the resources. Deloitte compensates their resources really well along with providing a lot of Perks.

What can a designer with 5 years of experience (all in NYC) expect to make in Portland? I’m at a decent smaller agency with a good client list. How about freelance rates? Thanks!

Recently joined Deloitte USI. After just few months, I can say that I don’t feel I belong here. 1. No one explained the processes as the buddy assigned was first on leave and then too busy to connect due to project deliverables. 2. Scatterplot has released and I am not able to get why was I given that dot as average when I performed at par. 3. Everyone is busy, my coach is clocking 12+ hours daily and not able to connect from last 3 meetups! 4. My mnger is into some SCDP program from last week

Hi why IBM is focussing on Return to office culture ,as in past years before covid it was known for remote and WFH flexibility.When there is no team ,still single resource is being called at office .What is the use to work from office if you don't have anyone from project ,team building,networking ,anyway it won't develop.

I am graduating with an MS Cybersecurity this June and have been working as a Project Analyst for 5 years. I am in the process of applying to consulting firms (both big and boutique). I am looking to get a broad experience and travel (whenever that starts up again). Do you have any advice for someone jumping from industry to consulting? Any tips that would get me noticed by hiring managers and/or recruiters? With what you know now, what would you do in my shoes?

What do staff want and what would make them happy? This is a serious question. I have been in public for 25 years. I swear I feel like a mom and therapist as much as a professional. I truly care about my staff. Treat then well, fight for them, invest in their futures. But the last few years it seems like nothing is enough. I am seriously considering early retirement because it is so emotionally draining on me. So many younger staff in here and all I see is complaints. Am I alone?

Best intern stories. Go!

Joined USI as an Analyst and I feel really depressed. My seniors are hell bent upon making it all the more difficult. I used to love my job once upon a time but nowadays I just dread the Monday morning and even more so the stand-up calls. On the top of all this my seniors/leads do not stop criticising my work and make me feel like a loser which has impacted my confidence. I sometimes break down alone in my room while working and feel very frustrated. Is this normal or am I just in a bad project?

Accenture just made me a verbal offer and asked me to stop interviews with other companies; They offers around 165k TC, and some other companies can potentially offer close to 200k TC (If I end up getting offers). How should I proceed?

Ive worked as a Senior Service Associate for a leading global and investment banking firm for 9 yrs but the pay is 40k. I have my SIE license. Im studying for the Series 7.I’m in my mid 30s. If I were to leave my firm, what are the options I have to translate my experience? I’ve worked alongside a financial advisor , asset management, compliance management with Client paperwork , proficiency with Fin Technology, Marketing, and Event planning for a wealth management team

Any dotnet developer in dxc? Which project/account is better or which to avoid?DXC Technology.

Need advice, I'm a Dot net Azure Developer with devops skill, My joining company asked me to work on GCP DevOps role of a Java project . Should I join or look for other offers?

I have 3-4YOE in business advisory and am hoping to make the jump into product management. I have Agile experience, SAFe PO/PM, project management experience, but no product experience. Is this jump possible without starting at the bottom again? (I’m also open to referrals if anyone is hiring!)

Yeah you're right. It cuts after two lines instead of expanding.

Do any firms actually have off today? What's with Accenture not giving off any holidays? I don't know a single non-consultant who is working today...

I have good performance ratings and placed in decent projects but my pay is pretty low. And I heard that jumping to different firms is what makes your salary grow. Should I jump now or wait? Came as an experienced hire but downgraded to A2, have been here for close to 4 years. Will be SC2 this year

How do you come to terms with just not being smart enough to get to the next career level? Currently a senior consultant and the partners seem super humanly smart and good at their job, I think this is as high up as my brain can get

135k base and I would like to buy a Porsche. I have 20k in student loans and no other debt. Go for it? I'm not even into cars but every time I’m dashing through the Target parking lot and see one, it’s like love at first sight😍. That is my only justification 😂

hypothetical- let's say you got laid off from your firm. You see a similar position on website and apply. Recruiting team then reaches out to talk about the opening. Do you take the call?

Do you think slow learners have a place in consulting? I think I probably have a learning disability and at this point I am trying the hardest I can! But, I don’t see myself doing as well as some others are doing. How do I get over this feeling? Or can I ever get over it? Should I find an alternate career?

Any insight to Grant Thornton Advisory? Types of clients, compensation, upward mobility?

I like consulting, but I deal with extreme anxiety before any client call or even call with my supervisors! Any tips on how to overcome this? 🤐

People who bike to work, do you have any tips on how to reduce the sweat? I don’t wanna be soaked when I reach my office.

Planning to relocate to Dallas, work location is Coppell. Looking at Flower Mound and Frisco as the potential options? Definitely need good schools. I’m open to commute during non-peak hours. How’s the drive from Frisco to Coppell during peak hours and in general?
