These formations of workers really make a difference in people's lives right now and into the future!

What NFT wallet do you all use?

Just got another rejection... Is exiting to FAANG or MB really this hard? Trying to go tech.. or mbb, but not getting anywhere. I have 2 masters (mba, ms) from top schools, been in consulting for over 10 years, I am confident that I know my stuff well..but still I keep getting rejected. Interviewed with Google, Amazon, Cisco, McKinsey, and a few others and every-time there is something that is not a match... are the hiring managers looking for like 100% match? That will never happen!!!

Anyone here who made the exit from Big 4/MBB consulting to a VC? If so, I’d love to hear about how the experience is so far. (Not to mention the WLB and comp!) I’m considering a career change but have no one in my network I can go to for insights. Thx! 🙏🏾

Any tips / strategies / exercises for helping gain clarity around what I actually WANT to do work-wise?

Anyone with experience in negotiating salary willing to dm me? It’s a role I really want to take and still pays well but I definitely don’t want to be leaving money on the table. Also, don’t want to it to be a bad look and get the offer revoked lol

To those with your own firms, what are some good moves to make early in your career? Is it a good idea to get out of a niche practice and work for a small firm to work on more things for smaller companies for learning purposes even if it means a paycut?
Or, is having your own firm even worth it?

What is the standard billing for a surgical PA? 20% of what the MD is billing? Does anyone know?

Why are so many moving from CSR to CSP. I get that the fee is significantly higher for the former, but how are benefits better for the latter?

Republicans annoy me because Biden is fumbling the bag right now and wrecking everything and republicans decide that RIGHT NOW is the time to die on the hill of a social issue. We have a litany of economic and energy and strategic issues and they decide to just randomly do this for no reason

Opinions about TMW London?

Hello. Any websites or lists of the agencies in Madrid and Barcelona? Thinking of sending my portfolio out there...

Bonjour, hi! ;)
Any good agencies in France outside Paris?
Des agences qui valent la peine en dehors de Paris?
Merci!

Do you keep your clearance if you quit your organization?

Stupid me thought Accenture is different. Like any other consulting firm, some MDs literally gave away their soul to the devil once you got promoted.

What's your morning routine before you enter the office or hospital? How do you mentally prepare for the day? I'm trying affirmations for the first time...

Nine months in and already feeling so unmotivated. Busy season was tough but nonbusy time is even worse.

MBA admit here and have to put down a deposit soon, having serious cold feet right now due to the covid situation and potentially having to start virtually. Would love any perspective on how it's been particularly socially and what your schools' outlook on the fall is

Thanks for starting this bowl and looking forward to sharing it with others and bringing in resources as needed for topics and discussions that are so very needed in our industry.

Anyone else still at work? Because I am.

And some people wonder why I started this bowl.

My partner and dog are sitting at home waiting for me.

Sigh.

When they lay people off, they often keep things quiet because it will "effect morale". But the firing itself is what effects morale. Being secretive about it undermines respect and harms morale more.

"The real inconvenient truth is not just that there is environmental pollution, which there certainly is, but that there is also social pollution. The work hours that companies are demanding of...”

Roe V Wade just got overturned, what are we going to do about it?

The first things you need to organize your workplace are a full staff list and an org chart (title hierarchy). If those don't already exist, you can make them.

Work on yours this week!

It's been a busy couple of weeks at my workplace. Have you all been keeping your heads above water?

anyone a part of their local dsa chapter? what's it like? I've been curious about joining

Happy last Friday of summer! Does your agency do Summer Fridays? Did you have time to take all of them? Why not All-Year-Round Fridays? Why not a floating weekday each week? What would you argue for?

Humane hours would be nice. Also some parameters for weekend work. It either doesn’t happen or we are paid handsomely for it?

One of the major challenges I've encountered in starting a union in my workplace is that people who are woke enough to know we need one are also the ones smart enough to jump ship.
