Have you ever been fired from a client?
What are the signs?

I hate the cultural norm that makes drinking and eating rich food almost mandatory for client entertainment and/or team bonding on travel jobs. Any tips on how to stay fit and stick to a healthy diet?

Constantly worried I’m going to get fired because I don’t know where I stand at my mid sized law firm (second year associate).

Got laid off. Have savings to hold me until I find a new position but mostly I'm just embarrassed. Has anyone ever gotten laid off and not told their friends/partner about it? I just don't want people in my circle to know I failed basically.

Is there an appropriate way to turn down an assignment because it is non-billable? Two of the partners I work for keep asking me to write client bulletins and articles with them, which is great, but now I’m starting to worry about meeting my billable hours requirement.

Looking to start an app project and need a full stack developer who wants to also mentor a junior developer along the way. Any advice on where to look besides LinkedIn? Also, not looking for freelance, want the developer to be apart of the team as a business partner and leader.

Hi fishes,
I have recently joined in a project as a Oracle JD Edwards finance Functional Consultant.
Is this a good ERP to kickstart your consulting career and whether there are good opportunities for this ERP in the future.

For those who switched from agency to client side, how did you do it?

I’d like to make a side project where I connect annoying linkedinfluencer posts to a text-to-speech alarm clock that wakes you up because there’s no better inspiration to wake up to than that. Anyone wanna make it with me? Need a good name too.

I have been on a local client since forever and now considering to travel to work on projects I like. Can anyone tell me how miserable or fun traveling is?

The severance package at Meta for laid off employees almost makes it nice to be laid off depending on what your personal situation is….. personally wouldn’t mind getting 4+ months of full pay to reset and think about what’s next 😬

Any designers with ~4 years experience in nyc looking? Agency side but work is for a finance client. DM me for info and I’ll pass along books.

Morning all- looking for a referral for remote position: project manager, implementation manager, PMP certified and will be obtaining Agile cert by end of year. 10+ years experience, also MBA grad.

Currently SC with Deloitte 2.5 years, cybersecurity heavy with background in healthcareIT.

Thanks in advance.

Have you ever worked on pharma/healthcare projects that you personally disagree with (whether i.e how they do business, their political affiliation, their drug pricing, etc)? What was that project like and how did you deal with it?

If you notice that a junior associate on your team has over-billed, how would you handle it? I don’t want to get them in trouble, but noticed that they billed extremely high numbers even though I was doing all they work on the deal and they completely disappeared other than for client conference calls. Certain things that they billed for on the final invoice, I alone handled and never asked them to do. Appreciate any advice. I’m a mid-level in case it helps for context.

Project week -1 and already getting 11pm Friday emails and Saturday emails all day from the client. RIP my WLB this summer.

What’s the most unethical thing you’ve seen OC get away with?

Is it a big deal if a partner questions how much time you spent on something? Can’t they just write off time that seems excessive, or am I missing something? Sometimes I take a really long time to do things because I switch matters frequently, and I do a lot of research to make sure I’m doing things right.

I am moving to Bangalore the next weekend, by 17th July. Seems there is a slight increase in covid cases, would it be better to come now or should I ask my manager to come to office after some weeks once everything seems fine?

Hi Fishes,

What's your opinion on RWD pod?

Would be happy to DM if you are working for that pod to get to know a few things before I join.

Would really appreciate your input on this.

TIA!

There is demand of cyber security professionals in canada? Any recommendations on where to look for jobs with visa sponsorship?

Just curious. Excluding business recovery / restructuring teams that are more counter-cyclical. What TS group do you think is the least cyclical? Valuation / modeling? Accounting advisory? Then lastly how “cyclical” do you view them?

You know it's a slow week when the highlight is when your comment to a fishbowl post gets more upvotes than the initial post

Where should I go for dinner?

I recently accepted an offer and joined Firm A. I am accepting a better offer next week with my preferred firmB. I understand that if I leave in 2 weeks, I will burn the bridge with Firm A. Would Firm B also not like that I joined A and left them too soon ?

I am starting a new role with a new company and will have 6 direct reports. Although I have managed teams before in a consulting project setting, this will be the first time in industry. Any recommendations on how to sharpen my management skills (books, blogs, etc). Particularly looking at how to delegate effectively and practical examples on how to run day to day.

After a year using my home office setup, especially the 27 inch monitor, how can I ever go back to the traveling life with tiny laptop screen? 😔

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?

Does Deloitte official can get paternity leave in his 1st year ? If yes, for how many weeks he is eligible ?

Got hired as a digital strategy consultant. I have over 10 years of industry experience but I’m new to consulting. What courses, workshops or books would you recommend to build a solid toolkit?

Describe the best partnership you have had at work? Did it happen by chance or choice? What made the person the best partner? What did you achieve? Is it recent or years ago?

Mercedes Owners: do you take your car in for Schedule B Service? $500+ for what it includes seems like a bit of a scam and wondering if I'm good just taking it in for an oil change. I assume they'll find anything that needs fixing/changing so they can charge me separately.

One of my lead partners is super nice to in front of others but then really mean to me when we meet 1x1. How to deal with this?

Do you guys have Any good books on business? Not those self help books

Is it worth leaving Deloitte for LEK? I currently have 1 year exp mostly in strategy projects and honestly the experience hasn’t been too bad. Not sure if I want to start over from the bottom but they’re offering 15k more. End goal is M7 mba. Is it worth the extra year?
