Yes Deloitte has a team of incompetent people leading internal strategy.

They should give more PTO

Not necessarily dedicated - but yes, there are projects where the “client” is EY - everything from strategy, acquisitions, system implementations, program assessments etc

Interesting

We have projects where our client is our own firm but a different practice. It's billed the same as if it were an external client and we have per diem too

like

The real question is do those teams follow the same methods as client execution teams

like

We do internal strategy projects all the time. We also have internal growth & strategy teams which are effectively corporate strategy groups focused on strategic changes to the organization.

My total experience is around 7+ years and am currently working in a MNC from the past 4 years. I was planning to make a switch to some other company but recently my manager has mentioned to me in person and as well as on my appraisal feedback (in writing) that I will be nominated for the H1B visa in the coming cycle. This was in July 2022. Should I be worried that it won't happen or should I start looking for the switch.?

Hello! Looking for book recommendations for how to manage people well. I’m starting my first job soon with direct reports and I want to be a good manager because I know how bad it can be to have a bad one. I really liked Radical Candor, so looking for recommendations from other managers for books that have really stuck with you and helped. I know it’s a hard skill to learn from a book, but better than nothing. Thanks!!

Can someone give me feedback on my long terms and short short essay for duke:

My short-term goal is to pursue management and leadership roles in strategy consulting in a consulting firm. I look forward to using the network, knowledge in finance, people management skills acquired at Fuqua to excel. This will equip me for my long-term goal of addressing the challenges of energy poverty in Africa.

You know what I love? Managers that tell you to do one thing and you do it. Then when a Client, SM, or PPMD questions your actions they go SILENT🙃. No support or explanation , and you’re left to defend yourself/actions. You ain’t Casper or a mute, so don’t act like one🗣.
