Guess who by the “brand”:
1. Set up status meetings for half the day, effectively controlling the narrative
2. Do nothing, force your SLAs on others
3. Report that everyone else is the problem when things inevitably start going wrong
4. BONUS: Bill a partner at exorbitant rates who shows up once a month to share wisdom (an incomprehensible string of buzzwords) before patting themself on the back and “dropping for another call, thx for the hard work everyone!”

Literally everything consultants do is a function of controlling the narrative right?

Sounds like it could be any of the firms tbh.

McKinsey for sure.

Must be an IT consultancy (IBM, ACN, Deloitte, Tata, etc.) given the focus on process mgmt, SLAs and use of subs.

Curious what in the details made you assume subcontractors were involved

Sounds like all of us in this bowl tbh

The government!

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)

What is a simple way to explain to my boyfriend that investing in equity with an expected return of 10% is better than paying off debt that is growing at a rate of 6%. He has student loans and is adamant that he wants to pay all of them off immediately before saving any retirement money. I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k
