Welcome to the DC consultants bowl. Here we can plan weekend get togethers and build a community in DC even with our crazy travel schedules

We as the armed forces of the United States have a research department, but the greatest advances at the armament level come from private sectors, this could not be something counterproductive because if they sell a product to us, what deprives them of selling it to other countries?

Anyone know the rough price of WiFi on American Airlines flights

Hi guys.. I wanted to know what should be the ideal number of ATL and BTL activities in year for a consumer durable company? Considering x as the number of product lines/sub brands.

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out

I want to hear it all, let it out. Why did you hate HRC? Or you just felt she couldn’t be president because she was a woman?

I’ve worked in clinical research in the academic/non profit world for the past five years. I want to transition to a role in pharma or a CRO, but haven’t been successful yet because I don’t have industry experience. Does anyone know of any CROs/pharma companies that are willing to hire someone with research expertise from an academic medical center rather than already in industry? Thanks!

If someone revoke resignation in TCS.
Is there any rule that he cannot resign for certain period and where can I find that policy???

People joining TCS at Senior Consultant designation with 12 years exp, with no MBA degree or even from with exceptional experience in niche technologies is truth these days.

Existing employees with 20 years exp working on presales consulting, winning millions of dollars of projects in RFPs, delivering multi million dollar assignments are still not getting promoted and paid in peanuts

Makes me wonder if companies are really enjoying so called great resignation period. What's the thought ?

I’m going to graduate with a BS in Mechanical Engineering in the spring.

Tips to get a position before graduating?

What were some challenges y’all faced this week?

I’ll start. Trying to get non local resources utilized. National Leadership thinks this is the answer to our problems but local leadership is hesitant.

anyone know who created Palantir's website?

Any layoff expected in bny ?

Those who had their babies, are you guys making your whole family take tdap vaccine? Like parents, in laws, siblings? We haven't asked but what if they dont want to?

Who else trains legs on Monday ?

What do you do in between meetings where you don't have enough time to get anything done but it's like too much time to do nothing.

I’ve had to step away from social media for my own mental sanity as I have a major issue with comparing myself to peers when it comes to life stages. (Single female, 34, never married, no male prospects, dog mom.) As a result, I feel like I’m doing a disservice to myself professionally as social media is a HUGE communication channel. Any advice on staying away or including it in my life in healthy ways?

Any Sales Leaders doing any of the following with their sales teams?

- Entering a new market.
- Entering an old market with a new product.
- Trying to focus sales efforts onto one objective.

I’m putting together a beta program that was successful for my current company and I want to see if it will help other leaders.

Let me know if this interests you below. Thanks!

Hi folks,

Can I switch my role from a Java Developer to a Salesforce dev in the company itself?
Need views on this.

Hello. I am looking for new opportunities as a TPM. I came across a role at dropbox that I think would be a perfect fit. Would anyone be willing to provide me with a referral? Much appreciated!

Why are airport neck pillows so flimsy? $15 and it didn't even survive coming out of the packaging.

Can I just vent on how annoyed I am with the increase in “priority boarding” of people that are able bodied? I am happy to let them on first. But I think they should get off last. So many times they are limping or in a wheelchair boarding. And then when we land that are the first to jump up and scurry off. Just not ethical.

Overheard at Tampa Airport: Final boarding call for Spirit Airlines flight to Atlantic City.

What's the best story you can imagine on that flight? 🤣😭

Person brought a pit bull onto the flight. I’m shocked there is not a breed restriction

I’m loving the resurgence of this bowl. Making me feel like I’m about to board group 1 somewhere 💕

I have a game I love to play at the airport. I find someone who has the most vague resemblance to someone famous and then insist they are that person.

Like "Oh my God, you're Tom Hanks! I love so many of your movies and I think you are great and so funny in interviews. How are you feeling? I heard you had covid?"

Guy who very very vaguely resembles Tom Hanks insists he isn't. Then I keep insisting he is.

This is a fun way to pass time during layovers.

I miss you, airport. I hope I can see you again soon.

First business trip in 20 months. TSA agent yelled at me for nonsensical reasons. I almost cried. I was worried things would change, but they are just as dehumanizing as always. Felt like home.

I just got a new credit card. It came with a Priority Pass membership. I always travel economy, I hardly ever get lounge access. I got excited, until I remembered I can’t travel and lounges are closed anyways. :(
