Fellow Partners I want your unbiased perspectives on a talent management matter. I’m at MBB and a superstar Principal/AP has had an offer from another MBB with higher pay and quicker progression to Partnership. It’s someone we don’t want to lose and I’m going to see what I can do for them but of course this environment is tricky. What would you do? Would you pull out all the stops or let them go? Seeking your advice as I want thoughts from outside the echo chamber.

Any suggestions for a face serum or face oil for dry, sensitive, acne prone skin?

Hey folks. I'm looking @ dir-level People Operations / PM or Chief of Staff roles. Industry agnostic but interested in one that's social impact focused or innovative.

Curious what that pays in CAD? I make equivalent to $145K CAD as an an Account Director / PM and Client Operations Lead at a mid-sized US-based PR/Digital comms company, with 6 yrs of exp managing multiworkstream teams and multimillion dolllar projs.

Grateful for any leads too. My network is US-based so this all new for me!

Feels like the world is ending and every door is closed. Couldn't even breathe. Want to find a room and lock myself in and cry

I left my job without having anything else lined up otherwise I would have had a mental breakdown. I’m not even in that great of a financial place, but it was my job or my sanity. I know at least three other people who, in the past few months, have left with nothing lined up. I feel like it’s something we need to be talking more about. This isn’t normal for people to be doing this right?

Everyone says Geico car insurance is cheap . However for me it is most expensive. I went for Allstate/State farm which were cheaper than Geico. Am I missing something?

COO’s & previous SR. account executives…

I made it to regional manager for a franchise by age 22. Ran a successful financial practice & sold by the age of 33. Took 2 years off and built a health & wellness coaching platform for my wife (medical provider). Then, the last 2.5 yrs, have been a top producer in Saas sales as a senior account executive. I’ve been told I would make a great COO someday and I’m ready to take the next step into leadership. Who/what should I be targeting next?

Any recommendations for lawyers specializing in EB1c? Thanks 🙏

Do partners know each other’s compensation? I see partners selling engagements for vastly different numbers b/w shorter ‘interesting’ strategy work and longer ‘boring’ transformations. Thoughts?

/x-post from the Consulting Bowl/

Hello, Partners. Can anyone recommend fantastic courses, videos or training for a new manager like myself? I’ve come from a tech background and looking to be C-Suite

Partners: where do your clients come from? Do you spend more time acquiring new clients or using your network from past projects/peers?

If an employee files a complaint about workplace behavior, do you treat them differently? I'm faced with reporting an SM for bullying and finding it near imposible to believe that it won't (cont'd)

With the CDC releasing new mandates, What are partners seeing from clients? Are they asking for full return to the office? I definitely want to keep staying wfh and not commuting :/

Hiya! I was wondering if anyone here has any good recommendations in terms of books or learning material that I can pick up to learn about sales and marketing relevant to the consulting industry?

Curious what % of partners/MDs have spouses who also work. And regardless of non/working spouse, what do you do to feel a work/family balance?

Thanks for sharing! Again, just for fun and curiosity.

Partners with kids and a working spouse, how do you manage? Is it realistic for both people in the relationship to work full time long term? How do you keep marriage going and career progressing?

Just heard FY23 partners at PwC are getting only 40 shares vs.60 last year. Looks like new partners are being shown the middle finger by Tim Ryan in favor of increasing stock price and getting more catalyst hires. Sucks!!

Partners, what are the financial benefits of retiring as a Partner at PwC or other Big 4s?
