Despite getting next to no sleep and feeling constipated, I have finally figured out why I have been so happy all day. Summer dress code in the home office!

I’m junior to two Legal Counsel (I work in-house) who are passive aggressive towards each other. They don’t attend each other’s meetings and leave each other out of email CC’s. It’s pretty clear this is done on purpose as one of them has bitched to me about the other.

What would you do in this situation?

Leaving a company in under 6 months. Any thought how I can initiate this with my manager?

Is it appropriate to give your PL a gift (MD)? It was a promotion year to SM…

How do you explain to a interviewer that you are leaving your job because your new boss doesn't treat you well/fairly?

Got an offer as a Senior 2 in EY’s FAAS practice for $117,500 base and $12,500 bonus. Home office is San Francisco. Is this expected for that position? Any insights?

Gave my notice, HR pushed my term date up, then goes back on what they said because they realized they needed bodies to help out. 🙄 like why didn’t you double check with the scheduler and teams earlier. literally stated it in my email too. I can’t wait to leave 🥳

Should we introduce ourselves?

I have had a 60%+ increase in volume from this time last year, but we have not had a new hire in my role to assist with the influx. Additionally, others in my department are overworked and they're delegating down to me.

So not only do I gave more work than ever, I'm doing tasks outside my original role

My supervisor cant get headcount approvals. We are suffering as a department. I don't want to overrule him, but should I go to HR?I'm breaking down at this point and see evidence others are too

How do you deal with a line manager who is focused on saving the company money at the detriment of losing trust and running the risk of employees leaving?

Hey so just to check on my part. I worked at a place where we went to a firm happy hour and women attorneys were there. A picture was passed around of a really hot woman on Instagram who they are oggled , later after the woman left some guy talked about all the quote whores he slept with. The women weren't sex workers presumably. I'm a male this behavior seems inappropriate to me and made me uncomfortable. Am I expected to exhibit this level of 1950s machismo in my day-to-day life?

Does anybody have good electric standing desk recommendations? Ideally in the $200-300 range.

There’s a potential partner you’ve heard is very talented - but notably mean under stress. Worth it?

Frustrating… I don’t like my associate
He’s been on the project for 6 months and doesn’t do anything and isn’t willing to learn anything but some how is still employed . I’m not the type to get someone fired and you know … have prbs paying bills . So I haven’t professionally complained about him but for F*** sake I’m losing my patience … feeling guilty to take his bread and complain … looking for new project … idk what to do

Manager texted me at ~10pm asking for a non-critical update. I chose not to respond (until morning) because I don't want to allow a bad habit to form. Thoughts?

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs? I’m hoping to find something that’s easy to assemble and break down for when I need to move, and something that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

Invited to a recruiting/networking session for an analyst level role at a Bain Capital. Excuse my naivete, but is business professional (full suit) the expectation here? Unfortunately my only well fitting suit was torn recently so trying to see if I can get away with another outfit

The most interesting research topic you've come across....?

I am working in CG as a consultant with close to 9 years of experience and 9 lacs CTC. Is it ok or should the package be more? Can I ask HR for salary correction? What is the range like in the B2 level?

🤙 When interviewer asking - “Where do you see yourself in 5 years? “
What is the most relevant answer? 🤥

Hi everyone 👋🏽! If you were able to do both situations. What setting would you prefer working for google (remote or in person )? If in person what are the best US offices to work in (top 5?)

Hi, please help me getting 11❤ to unlock dm. Thanks!

Can (Should) we all as employees decide that we don't want to get back to offices 5 days as week post this COVID19 fiasco is done and dusted.?

What's the point? If we are able to deliver results, work and progress from home, then why do we need to be shackled back into the monolithic corporate systemic enslavement?

Maybe stick with 1 or 2 days of office for Important F2F meeting, with rest WFH?

Going to join CitiusTech. What we can expect in welcome kit???

What is personal independence??
Why Pwc asked me to fill all investment details for me and my dependant.
Can anyone please help me on this ??

@pwc

What are valid reasons to switch from Tier 2 to mbb? Valid in terms that they will help me during the interviews?
Personal reason for me would be reputation and client attractiveness. Also more interested in revenue-side consulting compared to mainly doing back office optimization currently. Is the latter one legit to tell in interviews or too harsh about current employer?

What is typically the policy for putting the deals you have worked on in your resume? I have seen conflicting notes on whether you can include or not (only the deals that are closed and public)

If you get laid off when you’re in the middle of an interview process elsewhere, do you tell the prospective employer?

H1b 🐠 - about to apply for my extension. For the first time, I was told that I need to be aware of the 60 day threshold on out of home office travel and that the new administration is enforcing...

I can think of any possible positive outcome for the industry that we're in... it's been a tough year, brace yourself for a shittier ride

Out of big 4, MBB, Accenture, and Oliver Wyman, which firms don't require work on internal initiatives? I know Deloitte isn't one of them....

I got an email from a Cybersecurity Advisory Partner with the subject "Catch-up". Last week we all rolled-off from project abruptly b/c the client terminated the contract. Am I getting laid off?

Anyone from Cyber Security field? Is yes, what are you working on?

Just finished the first year, thinking about leaving consulting for greener pastures. Any tips on how to start the job search?

Chicago peeps: How bad is traffic around wrigley field? Google tells me it's all blue, but I refuse to believe that considering the game. Anybody on the ground?

Has anyone heard of the Practice Area Project Manager at BCG (kinda internal role)? Pros & Cons? In terms of career projection, posibility to jumping to consulting, WLB, exit opportunities...

What is the value in professional certifications? ACCA, CFA, CIPD, etc.

Alright fish, so I'm from a non-target school for consulting, for reference my school typically sends a couple to the Big 4 federal practices and FDD but definitely no MBB front office. Is there any way in hell I can break into some type of non-strategy role at a Big 4 firm with a B4 audit background and industry experience?
Like I'm trying to get a feel for if it's a waste of time for me to be applying. I've been hitting finance transformation advisory roles pretty hard with out much luck.

Slalom Squad, where you at? I know firm/hiring is heavily tech, but how are the Strategy/Ops roles? Have only met tech people that have joined Slalom, but I'm more Strategy/Ops, so looking for insight

Anyone have any recs for self help books? Looking for more relatable topics to myself I guess?

Know this may be a long shot in terms of actual responses but:
@PPMDs, what are your thoughts on the current/impending COVID specific layoffs at your firm?

E.G. Glad for the opportunity to reduce the headcount of mid performing SMs with little/no chance of making PPMD? Sad to see a firm you’re a part of undergo such unforeseen circumstances?

Looking for some book recommendations :)

Any book recommendations about human psychology / thought processes?

Has anyone tried following a low FODMAP diet while on the road? Advice?

Which top consulting firms, if any, will pay for your MBA?

Officially on maternity leave for 8 months after today!! I also got the green light for promotion, pretty happy with all things Deloitte right now! 👌🏻👏🏻

Time spent at team dinners should be chargeable 🙄
