I thought onboarding was way better than Advisory Start personally, as an experienced hire. I did not go to the same adv start as my onboarding class though so that probably didn't help. Also the simulations are extremely biased toward strategy/management consulting, which is contradictory to how tech works...So depending on your horizontal and aspirations, that's either a good or bad thing.

A lot of kool aid

And depending on your simulation group, a worthwhile experience. They do the classroom stuff with starts from your vertical so great way to start your network

It's nonsensical. Just have fun. Don't take it too seriously.

Don't expect it to compare to Launch. I started in sept and the accommodations were substantially worse. It was great to meet everyone and see old internship friends, but you could tell the event was being held on a stringent budget.

2 weeks? I'm going to the one next week.

Op it says you're already at pwc. Did you dl this all after updating your LinkedIn?

Probably has "incoming associate" or something of the sort on their profile

Advisory start is at earliest 1 week after actual start.

This start date seems very late. You mind sharing how you ended up starting inFeb?

Good evening everyone,

I have to rant and seek advice. It’s my 5th year teaching overall. I’m a 1st year at a new district it’s been really nice except for just some very small inconveniences: no classroom budget, too many meetings during planning time, printers are so bad that I had to bring mine from home, my district gives teachers chromebooks for laptops. I’m a a point where if I was invited to come back next year I’d say tell them no, am I crazy, is it just me? Please help

I know that I screwed up on some files before I was diagnosed which I feel awful about and have been trying to rectify (unpaid), but she spent a lot of time cataloguing the ways in which I messed up. It was supposed to be a nice weekend for once and I’m feeling more beat down than ever 😕 just not sure how to get the motivation/nerve to go back!

I’m conflicted. Thoughts?
