I’ve brought It up to my boss multiple times. They know I’m v bored and not busy. I keep being told work will come. We will get busy. But it has been months with no progress. I’ve asked to join the new business pitches but nothing yet. What would you do?? I feel like if I’m another couple months I’m still workless aka gaining no learnings or work for my book, then I’ll start job hunting again. Obviously not saying anything till I land something.

When did you start?

Yeah unsure. Just a weird vibe for my team overall. It’s got me thinking I’ll reevaluate in the new year

Maybe try coming up with some ideas you could pitch to the client? At best, you sell it through. At worst, you get some practice and have something to do that’s relevant

Some recruiter in Accenture lined me up for an interview for a role which was not in my skillset ( by saying that this is just an evaluation exercise and they will map me to the right role) and obviously I got rejected. Now I see that I am not eligible to apply the role which I was targeting for the next 6 months. Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?

Is it true Deloitte is not sponsoring H1B visas? I have a friend considering joining as an SC after MBA. However, they are concerned that Deloitte is not sponsoring. Are these fears correct? How does this work from a recruiting perspective? They would be hired as an off-cycle campus hire via PPMD referral, not within the standard pool of campus hires. Thanks!

I just accepted a VP role in-house and am about to have four direct reports and a team of 10 people working under me. Some of these people are way more experienced than I am, and I’m feeling very imposter syndrome-y. Any books or podcasts or recommendations that might make me feel more prepared?

Just how bad would it be to quit without a two week notice? I’ve been bait & switched into a horrible role, overworked to the point of having medical problems, and no amount of diplomatic talks with my manager has improved the day to day. My mental health and my personal relationships have been on a steady decline.

I don’t have another job lined up yet. But I’m danger close to quitting and taking my chances with freelance. Could it be worth it?
