For those tech consulting folks, what is the best EPM or FP&A system objectively speaking if your firm is not technology agnostic?

Mainly catalyst for change is overall time savings from my experience (ie, accuracy, central source of truth, agility on scenario planning).

What are other key intangible measures that you’ve seen where benefit outweigh hard costs?

My total YoE is 14 years. I know pretty long stay in TCS. I am happy with the work though I am not a project lead or in some manager position. Got onsite opportunity almost 7 years in support project. But some time seeing my x-teammates who have changed many companies and now in better position, feeling like I would have moved out instead of sticking to 1 company. Now decided I have to come out from this comfort zone. I know it is possible but worried a bit with my exp. I need you guys advice..Plz

Hello Fishes,

Any idea when we get relieving letter/service certificate from TCS?

My LWD was 16th September and I received FNF 10 days before. Also got initial release letter on my LWD.

I see so many issues in this organisation.
When I joined TCS after 5 days of joining they used to mail me every week for 5 continuous weeks and asked me every time for previous organisation relieving letter.
But they themselves don’t share it and delay a lot.


Anyone please advise.

Alright. What jobs have the lucrative bounties?

For M+ folks (or the equivalent level at your firm) - what is your favorite thing about working in consulting? What keeps you going and motivated?

What features do you look for when looking for payment and merchant services? It seems like a lot of people go with Square because it’s simple but you’re paying for it and it doesn’t offer many features. I’m trying to get back into this business. I work with a reputable company offering full-featured business service and I’m here to offer other features and help other small businesses evaluate their options. Can help cut costs, help with cash flow and other services, inventory management, etc.

Starting a new job in industry tomorrow! Any last minute advice?

Mind blowing question. If the big 4 were to be domestic US airlines, which one would they be and why. I say Deloitte is United, pwc is delta, ey is American, and kpmg is southwest. What y’all think ?

Hi, I have been working in a neo-bank scale up for the past year. I’m getting paid relatively well with stock options that vest over 4 years. There are also talks internally about the company potentially IPO-ing in the next 1-2 years.

I just got an offer from a smaller startup who are giving me a 20% increase over what I’m currently getting, but they are unlikely to be publicly listed anytime soon.

Should I take the offer and potentially lose out on vesting £50k+ (pre-stocks) worth of options?

Got laid off but found a job. Unfortunately I can’t start for like 2 months. Any ideas on jobs I could do in the meantime? Can’t drive so no Uber. Willing to do minimum wage, anything will help

Any book recs on how to improve soft skills (ex. Communication, leadership, etc)? Doesn’t beat real life practice of course but would be a good starting point. Thanks!

Gotto feel for Mbappe - 0-2 down, scores a hattrick - only time at 0-2 down in the final anyone has ever done that - and still ends up losing! Truly a GOAT transfer moment - Messi retires, Mbappe takes over!

People who have made it to the perceived “top/best” place in their career field/education (MBB, FAANG, top PE fund, HSW, etc): do you feel satisfied? Have you had to recalibrate your goals? If so, what are those goals?

Inspired by one of my kids' favorite books, I penned this masterpiece of an Ode to Consulting:

One senior partner all alone
Calls two managing directors on the phone
Three associate partners at the door
Bring along another four
Five senior managers come overdressed
Six managers show up with a guest
Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
Eight associates sneak in the back
Nine analysts come to work
ALL THE CONSULTANTS GO BERSERK!!!

Ok, I'll show myself out now... 😂

I have like 9 million things I need to do and I just want to hibernate.

If someone cancels on you day of for a first date how do you respond?
She canceled saying she was “so sorry”. Reason seemed legit but she didn’t ask to reschedule so idk if I should throw that out
