Daddy D gave me a notice that I was under performing, my coach only can tell me “communication issues” even though my mangers never told me I was doing anything wrong. They took 3 months to complete any snapshots on me so just now am finding out when I am on the bench. I did recently leave a project after only a few weeks, but I told them I did not know how to do the project (was in a different Business Offering, so I have no experience) and so I was removed. Should I be worried about layoff?

“have fun with this brief” they say before telling you the client is pretty conservative and needs to have safer options.

i know we don’t always work on stuff we’re thrilled about but i’ve never dreaded reviews for a client before until now

Any packaging designer available for a small gig? Not agency project, helping a friend’s start up.

At what point does the value of a degree fall off? I'm in my early 30s, and have five years of experience, and work on a very theoretically interesting project. I believe I'm on track to promotion in the next year. So, I could put in a year of full time school to check the box off, but I'd be sacrificing hobbies and social life (not to mention cost). Is this FOMO or is there real opportunity here?

Should I negotiate a severance package even though it’s not in my contract and it’s not required by UK law?

Vicious layoffs at HCB health.

In the beginning of the month I started working at a new place for a promising client, but realized the team is absolutely disorganized and no one is willing to do much. I haven’t gotten onboarding from my team and no one takes notes... is it bad to start looking again?

How can I change the project in Accenture?

Which agencies are going through layoffs

Do people proactively begin finding work when they know they may be low on work soon? Or do they just wait until they actually don’t have enough work to fill their days? Have a larger project that is winding down and my main case is slowing down a bit so I anticipate potentially needing to find more work soon, and I was unsure if that was something I needed to worry about.

Hot take: if it’s actually a stealth layoff then everyone else got the same speech as you and outing the firm won’t identify you.

Are there any books or other resources that mid levels/seniors/counsel/partners on here have found helpful for the project management / managing junior attorney aspects of your job?

I am not finding a lot of stuff written for lawyers specifically , but there is a lot directed at “managers” in business generally that I imagine could be applicable.

Deloitte US just announced layoffs. Any other B4 started layoffs too ?

Hello.. I work as a product specialist and have experience of leading projects as well.. I’m looking for a project manager role.. I need advice.. If you’ve applied for an opening in a company, is it okay to apply for another opening that is a similar role or same role - different location.. This is while I’m still waiting to get a status update on the first one..

What are some brands with an in-house agency? Looking to make a move to client side.

How to handle working with someone who frustrates you immensely? I work with someone who is one level above me hierarchically and is an ultimate micromanager (not one agenda or recap can be without edits) and is rude about establishing that they have dominance. The more senior leaders on the team are awesome and so is the client. It’s this one coworker who just got promoted and is now stepping on me constantly. Thanks!

How suspicious is it that the client that just gave the pitch of VW in the US to Johannes Leonardo used to be one of the executives from Johannes Leonardo?

Does anyone include a bit on invoices like "Accounts not paid within terms are subject to a .75% monthly (9% annual) finance charge" or something like that?

Tangentially, has anyone had an invoice with 30-day terms kicked back for revisions because the client's terms are longer, or do they just ignore what you've stipulated?

Trying to come up with some project work for my University Sourcers to complete that will benefit my team. Their most recent ask was to generate a list of universities in each state that we source from within iCIMS. What other projects have you found to be beneficial to enhance recruiting efforts?

For the people who earned the SHRM-CP, did you feel it was worth it? I have an indirect HR position, been applying for more HR focused positions and wondering if this would help. I got the CAPM (certified associate of project management) in December, but that hasn’t really changed things. Would love some opinions before working on another certification!

I recently had a specialist partner send me a fairly nasty email after I (a transactional first year) was told to ask them to review something ASAP that had clearly been on my partner’s radar for over a week. Why am I taking the (honestly justified) blame for this? Surely it should be obvious that I’m just the messenger here.

Can we talk about privacy vendors? We are looking for a platform to handle data inventory and/or data discovery, as well as automating the privacy impact assessment process. We already have vendors for DSARs and cookies. Do most people consolidate all these functions to one platform or use multiple? Anyone willing to share vendors they have had good or bad experiences with?

I’m looking to go somewhere for a week at the beginning of December. Traveling solo and want somewhere warm and safe to be out alone. Recommendations?

Just found out I will be taking two depositions in the near future. These are not key witnesses but I am still nervous. I’ve only been licensed since October of last year and still feel like I have no clue what I’m doing half the time. Any deposition tips?

Went back home to renew my visa. The interview was good, but been waiting for more than 5 biz days for my passport. Who should I contact this time? Should I be worry that it got lost?

Best influencer search tools or strategies for sourcing?

I’m sitting in a partner’s office on a Saturday night realizing this will never be mine. I’ll never have people sitting in my office saying I’m this person. Feels like I just topped out on life. Down.

Is it worth going to Wharton (or any M7, for that matter) for MBA? Got a deferred acceptance, but now am reconsidering due to opportunity cost, and I’m skeptical that it would help me get somewhere I otherwise couldn’t.

Part of the reason why I applied in the first place was to shut my parents up about me not going to a top school 🤷🏻‍♂️ 🤣

Has anyone consulted at Nissan and what was the onboarding process? any drug screen?

Planning on bringing up my two week notice today. Do I talk to my manager first about quitting or email a resignation letter? I don’t want to burn any bridges, and I feel I have a good relationship with them.

I just called the pandemic a panini DURING an interview.. Aw hell😭😂

What makes strategy consulting different to management consulting?

Both seem to evaluate a problem and provide recommendations. Maybe there are some specific areas like due diligence etc which are more niche, but seems like a high degree of overlap between SC and MC?

And I’d exclude PMO from true MC…

Pls or Please?

SM asked us to shifted client billing hours to non-chargeable code... Will significantly impact utilization... Sucks

A reminder to all: we are going through very difficult times. Please help someone who has gotten laid off if you can!

Anyone work in Ops at a hedgefund? Are middle / BO roles there worth the transition from consulting?

Any really impactful books that have helped you career-wise? Not necessarily consulting focused. In need of guidance and a new book so figured I'd kill two birds with one stone or whatever.

Dumb question - if we were to donate money to support Ukrainian military, how would it help them? Like who would buy weapons and how to give it to them while there’s a war going on. I would guess to bring things to western border and they would come grab but that seems risky still

Anyone at Highmark Health? Would love to get your input on a few questions. Thanks!

I’m a creative / tech innovator applying to McKinsey and the other big four. However, I’m now concerned my limited on-the-fly math skills will automatically count me out. Seems like the interview process weighs on that. Im wondering if I need to hire a math tutor to help me get up to speed. Or, wondering if those of us who are more creative can get away with less than ideal math skills. What’s the reality?

What are some of the best books you’ve read about people and investing? Such as dealing with people (business psychology almost) and then investing (real estate more specifically)!

I am looking for books that give practical advice, not just big picture theory and motivation.

What do people think are the actual top factors for getting into good business schools? How much do “stats” like undergrad GPA actually matter?

I have an undergrad degree in economics and want to pursue biotech/pharma corporate development. Are there any classes / degrees /certifications you would recommend to help make up for the lack of a technical science background?

Recruiters on linkedin are "I've got an opportunity with a Big4 consultancy" however they never mention which one before you talk to them on the phone. Is it inappropriate to ask which one it is before wasting my time?
