Do you guys have good coffee in your home office?

Is anyone’s wfh office chair getting less “springy” over time? Mine just doesn’t have the same umph it had before, constantly lowering throughout the day.

Let’s talk office set ups. I am looking at a Uplift standing desk as my big splurge because I have back issues, and the room I work in has horrible lighting so I’m considering some sort of selfie light ring type thing that I can clip to my monitor. Anyone have feedback on either the desk or a light they like, or any other ergo friendly home office hacks you’ve found helpful?

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?

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).

What is the most you spent on at-home office furniture and do you hate yourself for it now that you're returning to work?

I want to dispose my office chair and i live in Newton. Anyone knows if i can leave it curbside or where i can check for the details?

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.

Best home office chair? A bit late to the WFH game and just getting set up

Favorite office chair?

When I was hired, I don't recall being informed about my salary being tied to my location. My employment contract also only makes one mention of location, and says "home office" and my state. I was recently told by HR though that if I move, my comp. will be lower. Is this legal? Should I consult a labor lawyer?

In my mind, I don't recall being told this and it's not clear from my employment contract, so I feel like they're breaking our agreement, and it feels unfair.

Thoughts on what to do?

How did you get started in your career as an FA? I work in the home office and have been an assistant to an FA before. I have a network, I have ambition, I have credibility and connections at my firm..

Thinking about going independent and operating out of my home office. Does anyone have any thoughts to share about that? I’m wondering about clients coming to my home and FINRA issues.

What would you suggest as a salary % increase to jump to another firm? I’m being recruited for a Sr Mgr role at EY which looks like a promising opportunity. Any comp sites other than glass door?

I recently passed the CFE and was looking into the CAMS next. Any suggestions on how to best prepare for the CAMS? I’ve been mostly reviewing the index cards that come with the prep material.

Can anyone provide some guidance to taking the CFE? As in which membership option to choose from followed by when exactly can we take the exam, if the entire amount is reimbursed or not? Just a generic timeline and additional required info. Don’t want to sign up yet if the exam dates are not flexible. Thank you.

🎇What’s your biggest win from 2021?

Drop it below, let’s celebrate 🥳

I think I’m going to be fired tomorrow morning and I am not even sad about it.

How much severance should you expect after getting booted after 1 year. I got 3 months salary

Hate this project, this client, and this team. Have to stick it out another 5 months at least before reapplying to other firms. Lord give me the strength...

Favorite coping mechanisms appreciated. It's going to be a long summer.

Any idea why EY is not on the list of Vault 50 top consulting firms but it is on the prestigious list?

Have new analyst on the team with an MBA and project experience. After working with them for 2 months it’s apparent that there are 0 consulting skills (excel, outlook, PowerPoint) and they freeze up even on internal calls. They are young and coachable, and I offered to put time into that. However at a company event they made no effort to get to know the team and chose to stick to their familiar colleagues in their home office. I’d like to ask for a new resource but interested in feedback.

Deloitte people. I confirm layoffs of 4 ranked individuals and this year it's been hard rankings. Many 3s forced into 4. I was on the calls. Beware. Not trying to scare. Sharing facts.

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?

Which firm is the “best” (e.g., highest market share, works the most with the best clients, tough to win proposals against head-to-head, general market perception, whatever other metric you care about) in the food and beverage space and why? Interested in answers across the value chain

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! 👌🏻👏🏻

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?

Someone reached out to me on LinkedIn about becoming an author on the side. Has anyone heard about such a thing?!? The person said she’s worked with 800 consultants writing their books and marketing it for them.

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

If I end up quitting after maternity leave, do I have to pay back any of my leave benefits? I guess I could ask HR, but wouldn't want to throw out any warnings.

Any digital nomads abroad here? Any tricks with vpn? Good or bad experiences?

I find myself struggling the explain things with the same eloquence as my colleagues. How can I improve my consulting speak? Any recommended books?

What are some movie quotes that you use regularly at the office that you wish all your coworkers knew?
