Interestingly it appears to vary by firm. My BCG friend says case but at EY we say project or engagement

Engagement or project, never case or study. You've been recruited, now generate revenue.

It really does depend on your firm, but engagement is your safest bet...not that it makes a difference.

Also, there are no stupid questions (especially when you're new!) so take advantage of this first month and ask as many questions as you can. Seriously, if you're unsure of something, just ask.

Sc1 if you dint know this, im amazed at how you hot recruited

Give us a company, we can tell you the answer.

I usually use a combo of "getting staffed", "client", or "engagement". But I also come fe assurance so that might be engrained from there

Engagement

"Do you need a slave?"

As said above, varies by firm. ATK here, we say engagement or project.
