Ar KPMG, you can ask to be rolled off a project. It's more likely to go smoothly if you have something else lined up and have talked it though with your PML. "I don't like my manager" isn't a very good reason and won't win you friends if you simply say that.

Have you tried talking to project leadership or your personal manager about your current experience and difficulties?

Yes, I've been engaging with the project lead on this but this week was the breaking point and I want to get out

Anyone here who made the exit from Big 4/MBB consulting to a VC? If so, I’d love to hear about how the experience is so far. (Not to mention the WLB and comp!) I’m considering a career change but have no one in my network I can go to for insights. Thx! 🙏🏾

I just finished a big jury trial with a senior partner (SP). There were co-parties w/separate counsel. SP mentally checked out, to the point that co-counsel was asking what SP was doing/if SP was okay. I ended up handling most everything. SP did a few parts but went rogue and did things that were offensive/risky/bad for client. It became clear that SP is not performing like SP used to and may be a liability. Do I tell someone at my firm? Don’t want to offend SP or cause drama, but I’m concerned.
