Joining Deloitte in 2weeks. What Deloitte send laptop, do they send extra monitor, keyboard and mouse? Or does it need to be purchased using $1000 productivity subsidy? And do we need to use Amex card to purchase and then reimburse?

A little late here, but any suggestions/recommendations or watch outs for an automatic standing desk preferably with charging attachments? Looking to invest in a decent one around $2-300 !

Is there any one time home office setup allowance still provided for recent new joiners?

In an attempt to be healthier, I built a permanent standing desk. Now, once every couple hours my Apple Watch reminds me “it’s time to stand up” and I feel superior to all those chair sitters out there.

Anyone have a standing desk recommendation between the Fully Jarvis vs Uplift V2 vs Autonomous Smartdesk 2? Leaning towards the Jarvis but the Autonomous one seems 50% cheaper, but can’t really tell what the drawbacks are according to their website/reviews

Working on a regular desk and my laptop has been killing my back and neck for last few years. Finally spent a couple hundred dollars on a standing desk, wireless keyboard, and back/neck heating pad to alleviate the pain. Very hopeful working will be much better now.

1099 or w-2 ? I have been given the option though the company prefers w-2. It’s a day rate booking couple of months or more (no end date). I already have 1099 from similar company this year and am leaning towards 1099, but I don’t want to be difficult. I do take home office deduction and they are not supplying any equipment. Suggestions?

Damn I miss my life before the pandemics (the home office part can stay, though).

Favorite office chair?

6’5 here, does anyone have any recommendations on a good desk that is adjustable to a standing desk? I find that a lot of standing desks have a listed max height below 6’5

Looking for a home office chair…I need something really ergonomic/comfortable but given the visibility of the office in the house the wife wants something stylish. She keeps calling all my ideas ‘gamer chairs’ even though they’re definitely not. Anyone have any chairs they really like that may be worth looking at? I feel like I’ve looked everywhere (Steelcase, Herman Miller, humanscale, Haworth, xchair, etc).

Hey HAVAS, how's it going?

What are the steps to turn in two week notice? Email a word doc to HR then let me counselor know?

Does anyone use their private car to drive to work from hebbal, thanisandra or places that are 20kms away? It may be an absurd question to ask considering the Bangalore traffic, but still checking if there's anybody driving down that distance?

Does anyone ever feel morally or ethically conflicted working in this space? Serious question.

Hello fine people,
I have a question. I am a GDS employee wishing to relocate to another country as EY country “x” employee. The plan to relocate to country x was already in motion, if not EY then another org. The EY partner from country x is very interested in having me join their team but not sure about my GDS partner because they will be losing billing and may not like it. Is there a way I can approach this with my leaders? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Do you shoe check others at the office?

What happened to Alteryx...

Anyone going in on VNET?

Which consulting firms are hiring for experienced Associate position? Have a friend who got laid off and looking for another job.

I'm looking to improve my communication skills to navigate a very political environment better (i.e. I need to be more diplomatic). Any books recommendarions are appreciated 💁🏼‍♀️

Definitely some consultants just sat down next to me at the bar. Overheard: "How many shots should we take?" "Depends. How many slides do you want in the deck?"

Local project life. Pros: no travel. Con: suit meetings on Friday ...

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.

Tell me WHY does it take 10 business days to unsubscribe from a damn email notification...

I want to make it socially acceptable to have songs as ringtones again. Who's with me?

Can partners comment whether Pwc is having another round of layoffs. This is so scary! Shouldn't they rid of partners who can't sell first?! Or pause hiring? Opp. cost to find and train talent again?

Anyone here do Organizational Design consulting? Thoughts on the projects and group at your respective firms. Would you recommend? A recruiter reached out to me about a role in this group.

I get nightmares about printing on clients sites.... ::shivers::

I have been on a local client since forever and now considering to travel to work on projects I like. Can anyone tell me how miserable or fun traveling is?

What’s it like working at CME Group? Work-life balance, benefits, salary ranges.. I just completed my MBA and accepted a job in industry but am getting bored, so considering a change. Thanks!

Assuming this causes a recession like in 2008, and many people get laid off, how long to take to find another similar paying job? I’m currently a strat manager in FS. Scared for job.

Looking to switch firms and a Deloitte S&O recruiter randomly reached out to me on LinkedIn. Says he wants to have an informal chat. Any tips or advice? It'd be awesome to land this position.

Stupid question: do you get to alt-travel? Not fly home to your home office on the weekends, but use that budget to fly somewhere else?

Why do some people get laid off and others not? Is it always utilization? Do people typically know they're at risk before it gets to that point?

Alright, fishies, let’s try this again. Name drop boutique firms that have offices in San Francisco Bay Area. Big 4 is not my future (as many many MANY of you have repeatedly said I’m not good enough for). So, I’m taking the hint and crossing MBB and Big 4 off my list but still hoping a smaller firm will consider me.

Not trying to troll per se - but if you quit you job can you still file for unemployment? Are there restrictions?
