D1’s comment has appeared in my notifications numerous times this week, and it is no less hilarious every time I see it.

Similar to D1, "You seem happy and calm. The sense of urgency does not show” - duh 🙄 should I run around the client site like a chicken with its head cut off? Is it wrong to be happy ?? Why do I need to show the sense of urgency and fidget around like a school kid? I think there is more credit to me if I keep calm and meet timelines 😏

You're too direct to be a woman, as a woman you should be more subtle, like when you want your husband to give you a purse, you subtly ask for it, not directly...impact that matters right?

When I get a narcissist on the phone wanting trouble shooting help, 9 times out of 10 the whole conversation is them ranting. I don’t say anything until they’re done and I ask them one question and they immediately start yelling you don’t know anything, you’re stupid, why can’t you just fix my problem! lol I answer sometimes, with I just do Tech Support not Psychiatry! Have a great day! Lol

Senior Partner: “You aren’t here to take notes. Open your mouth tomorrow and contribute. We aren’t Deloitte for god sake.” This after 1 day of a 2 day client workshop and I was a very young associate. SP was snarky but in general love that guy. #truestory

Thanks for the backup slides. Where is the main deck?

One of my SMs told me that "its not consultant like to bring coffee creamer to the client site." Mind you this was a local project (maybe 10 min away from me) and all they served in the break room was powdered cream so I figured to buy cream and leave it at the office. I left the company shortly afterwards.

Well they would hate me cuz I travel with a whole week worth of food and don’t hesitate to store it in the clients fridge (sorry not sorry)

You have a great technical skill set & in depth application expertise; but lack “core consulting skills - “aka making decks” (I’m a technical architect.....not a ppt architect) 👊🏻😵

This is why I don’t plan on being on consulting forever. Would rather be respected for my knowledge, insight & execution of deliverables than my ability to make PowerPoints

Hi, ladies. How long has it taken you to find a new job?

I’m currently on the hunt for a new job and I’m feeling really utterly defeated. Over the past year I’ve probably applied to at least 100 jobs and I’ve been on 8 different interviews all with no offer. I’m not sure if I’m doing anything wrong or if there is more being done behind the scenes that have nothing to do with me. Either way, I’m getting frustrated and my productivity in my current position is slacking as a result.
