Has anyone transitioned from Tax to RM? Could you share your experience and pros/cons of the change? Really want to get out of client facing/billable work, but I like my firm. Thank you!

Resource Management is a whole other beast…. Be prepared for long hours, not enough resources & managers fighting over resources…

Someone that works with me did. She has said she is very thankful for the change and glad she was able to stay with the firm. Definitely ask for opinions from those that went from client facing to internal roles. Expectations are very different but so is compensation.

Pro is that you know the operations and how to do the work that you’re supporting. It gives you perspective that many don’t. Cons are that your growth opportunity isn’t as great. You can make director eventually but that’s it

That moment when your "smart" plan to boost your hours this month by working the Labor Day weekend (thus turning down all the fun plans your friends made) becomes sitting on your hands & feeling dumb because all the partners are too busy to delegate anything. The worst kind of "off" day is one you planned to /wanted to work, but there's no billable work...

Absolutely rubbish management and appraisal cycle, after 10 months of rating and reviews, hikes are just announced, not even disclosed how much % for how much rating. They just kill your interests by giving you a support project where there is no growth in your earlier career days when you need them the most and want employees to to work for 10 hours.

Searching for hobby suggestions/ideas. I’ve been struggling to focus lately and it’s been difficult for me to focus on my usual hobbies (reading, building an app side project etc).

Ideally, looking for a hobby that can help with de-stressing and decompressing during my unwind time after logging off in the evenings; not something super strenuous.

Thanks in advance!

Hi guys need a little help.

Currently I am in Infy and working on ORMB project. The hike that I am getting in Delloite is very less. Just around 10 percent. So is it worth it to switch just because I would get quality projects in D?
