Did anyone discuss with their partner or counselor before deciding whether or not not to leave the firm? Or did you simply tell them you were leaving on a certain date?

Do you think they held it against you that you were looking elsewhere?

M1 I think outplacement programs would only be for managers and above as opposed to more junior employees.

They aren't holding it against me, we're in breakup mode

I’d say it depends. Sometimes the conversation can fix the items causing you to want to leave. Lots of good comes from these firms but it isn’t for everyone. If you know it’s not right then the conversation before hand won’t do much good

Discussed it with partner only when giving my notice. It wasn't a surprise to my coach because he was aware of how unhappy I was.

Recently, I inherited a mess of a project. During the scope stages, it became more and more apparent that effective communication hadn't been established across all key stakeholders.

I'm a firm believer that the right communication establishes a structure for effective project execution. It lays down clear project goals and objectives, leaving no room for ambiguity.

Creating a communication matrix often makes a difference to planning. How do you manage your communication within your projects?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
