Does anyone have a recommendation for giving upward feedback? My manager asked me to put time on their calendar to do a retrospective and I’m nervous to do it. We have a great relationship but I’m not totally sure what to say I thought that they did a great job on our last project.

In point form write out the pros and cons of the project. Cons as in what parts were difficult. For the critique you can frame it as “what did we learn?” Or “what can be done better for the next project”
Use chat gbt to round out your thoughts/points and add tones and language you are comfortable using.

Great idea! This is a good exercise I’m going to try. Thanks!!

That can be a little tricky, but it's a good opportunity. Doing an insightful retrospective can be a good chance to show your own insights. Go over what went well and what didn't go well. And make some suggestions about what could be done better going forward. Offer what amounts to constructive criticism, but frame it in terms of "for future reference."

Thank you that’s great advice! I need to think about what feedback I want to give them. I’m not sure I have a ton!

Go on Mural and try an exercise called Rose Thorn Bud. Do it as a team to make it feel more game like.

I have not heard of this but I definitely have to check this out. Thank you for sharing.

Within my first year of Consulting, really struggling with the hours amongst other things. Spoken to a couple of people internally and the advice is to get on to projects with bigger budgets and therefore bigger teams/more support. I want to wait until I hit the one year mark before making a decision on whether Consulting is for me or not. Curious to hear from other experienced hires..how is/was your first year?

hi all, currently have two offers:

1: EY - FDD, home city, very good $$ for FDD

2: PwC - post-merger integration, DDV team (essentially M&A Consulting) - bigger city, always been keen to move

Coming as a Senior in Audit, with recent FDD exposure (2 deals, obviously not much). I was looking for something more than just number crunching, wanting a mix of quant / quali / strategic work. M&A Advisory or a Corp Strategy role is where I'm looking to end up long term.

Thanks in advance!

CTR, contracts and department overhaul

our marketing dept is undergoing a complete overhaul. under old leadership, a $75k 12-mo contract was signed to a marketing group that handles our SEO, blog and everything Google Ads. All things I can and am in training to do. Current CTRs on G ads seem pitiful at no more than 0.75%. My meta ads coast around 4-6%. During this overhaul, would it be wise to not renew our contract, and negotiate for me to take over these roles and leverage a raise?

So, recently got put on a PIP after six months at my new job., two days after I told my boss and HR I recently learned I have a cognitive disability caused by an illness. The PIP was mostly because I forgot some deadlines, but also they said I need to be more professional in emails (even though others use zero punctuation and a lot of emojis. To clients.) and simultaneously ask more questions and ask fewer questions. Should I just assume this is unattainable and look for a new job again?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.
