Depends on who needs whom most! If your current engagement can’t do without you and you can slack off temporarily, do it. Also think about how much you need Accenture vs your chances of making it through BCG.

^Its really good to see a Principal‘s advise supporting an individual’s interests. I hope you practice the same for your team. I genuinely commend you for it- I have rarely had a supportive supervisor in my 5+ years in consulting, and definitely not since I’ve been a manager.

Same problem fam. Case interview coming up, no prep because project is miserable

M1- sorry to hear that. You should seek out leaders within your form who are supportive.

True that, I’ve made it my goal to focus on the people in my next role (team as well as supervisors), as opposed to the content and position.

thanks all! yeah i think it’s better to take a chance and be a little worthless for a while and make it up if things don’t work out

Have you seen women wear ties and "masculine"-looking suits to work? Was it accepted by client and team? I've never worn a tie to work, but when I've worn clothing that had a more "masculine" fit either in grad school or some work environments, I've gotten comments and looks, or sometimes asked (or people gossiped) about my orientation. When I wear more "feminine"-looking clothing, I feel more more uncomfortable and awkward. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago.

Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.
