Does anyone else feel that strategy consulting has become, basically, Teams/zoom calls and .ppt sliding? Becore pandemic we had on-site workshops, events, physical meetings, after-work events, etc. Now I am just sitting in front of my screen creating useless .ppt and talking to me colleagues through a screen or using review comments.

Absolutely

Yes and no, it is the same just different venues. The workshops are on miro or whatever they want to use and it is simply the same albeit useless work than before. Just less social connections to form but that hasn't impacted the demand at all

Workshops/events/meetings = Teams/Zoom calls & .ppt = .ppt. Everything is the same. Just now, everything is back to its core nature. Might be saving some money for commuting & dressing up, and making the bs seems less big

disillusioned 🤭

We have our last session of the year of our group/guest financial education cycles at our Downtown Toronto office this Saturday. We go through our first financial education session that we talk about basic to higher level of financial information; from saving, investing, risks and returns, registered accounts, etc. There is no cost and no obligation. If you are interested to attend in-person or via Zoom, let me know.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?
