Guys, I realized today that I have never regretted leaving the firm. Only how long I stayed. I am soooo grateful to the lords above I didn’t continue to wasting my life working for average talent (at best) who were told they were the greatest by even more average dumbasses.

So if you’re considering leaving, take this as a sign!

I got f*cked over my promotion and basically left out of spite. Big 4 is like a cult tbh, they make it sound so glorious but the grass is always greener

Sounds about right. Hearing about the changes being made to undo the new equation make me laugh. The people I know still there are dealing with the good people continuing to leave and the average to bad people becoming a larger and larger percentage of the population. I was worried about leaving but I’m even more convinced now that I made the right decision.

I keep thinking it will get better. And that things will change. Yet all I see are red flags - more and more people trying to talk their way to the top. Bang average client delivery, zero thought of growing the culture.

Also what is it with trying to get SMs and D's to sell so hard? I always thought it was the job of the Ds and partners to sell the work, and leave the delivery and management of clients to D's and SMs. Is that not the case anymore?

If you continue to get better what you do, you will succeed in both selling and delivery. Every client is smart enough to understand who is just talking and who can actually deliver. So, no role is exception from selling and delivery.

I am very glad I did the same too! Saw some peer from consulting posted their WFH setup on LinkedIn, with a title of “Senior Data Engineer” but knowing this person - who can’t code even fluently, makes me really happy I don’t have to compete moderation cycle with these posers

Atleast for tech guys I think Big4 is worthless. There are only very few good tech projects. And I completely agree from top all people here are very average. I left and never regretted and nor I will.

BIA Briefs: I’m an associate at an immigration law firm. I determined that immigration isn’t for me So I gave the managing partner my 2 weeks.

How I’m going to argue that the IC abused its discretion or misapplied the law when we made a facially insufficient argument for relief?

Does really Collaboration work or it's just a myth. Always hearing from Offshore manager is that take more ownership like from offshore we should be working 80% and only 20% will leave for onshore because of time difference..

Is it really a collaboration or simply a cold War between offshore and onshore ownership..

My hands are shaking!! I just got off a call with my toxic manager who is clearly not happy I am being poached for another division. I tried to hold firm as he attempted to 20 question me, who was it, who wants me, what division, how did they find out about me? And of course the gaslighting of “why didn’t you come to me I could have helped or made introductions”. Clearly everything is about him. How have you handled such situations? What could I have done better with my abusive manager?
