Has anyone else taken a hit to their work confidence during covid? I tell myself that just because I’m bad at WFH doesn’t mean I’m necessarily bad at this job. But I’m a junior, so I don’t even know if that’s true.

I think there may be some truth to your thoughts. Engagement during wfh for me is difficult. I was always a library person in school because i get distracted easily at home. In the office you’re full go and on. Even when conversating with peers you feel connected to the firm and your work. WFH has made it difficult for me to feel engaged/connected consistently. Thankfully we are back into the office in September.

Hey 🐠,
I’ve been an Associate at EY-Parthenon for about 1.5 years (out of a non-MBA Master’s program). I’ve realized the contractor life is not for me and wanted to see if there were any referrals around for roles related to corporate strategy, business operations, or program management. Also open to other ideas.
Remote would be great but also open to a hybrid environment in the Boston area. Thank you all!

I don't have my masters just my BSN/RB, nor do I plan on going back for my masters, would possibly consider a certification if really necessary.

One thing I loved about the WFH environment is being able to do video interviews and not having to tell anyone I have a doctors appointment or something. Literally no one knows that I was in an interview right before the team status meeting. Do you guys think that video interviews are here to stay even after covid? At least the first round or two? It can save so much time for everyone involved.
