Hear me out….
In lieu of taking a gap year, has anyone considered changing firms from a senior staff to staff level for lest responsibility? I have a lot of life things I want to work out but can’t afford to stop working completely. I want a position with less responsibility and the only way I imagine that truly happening is moving firms to a lower position. I don’t want them to know I’m experienced hire but how would I hide it? Any other thoughts/ advice is welcome.

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?

Hello all! I’ve been ghosted by a couple recruiters at Deloitte, with one saying I don’t have Big 4 experience. Hearing these words from the recruiters or lack of responsiveness has felt even more defeating. I do have consulting experience and am trying to break into the marketing sector of Deloitte. I’ve previously been offered a position but at the time turned it down because I was pursuing a passion of mine. Any connections/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi everyone, applied for an investment consulting internship few weeks back.

I’m currently taking a complete break from dating (no one on the horizon, no hung up on an ex, no dating apps) in order to get back to being myself and figuring out what I want, and in that self reflection I’ve realized that I have met/dated so many people who think or say they are dating to find their person, but are really just filling some void or insecurity. I think we get so caught up in always needing to date to fill our short term loneliness that we stop thinking long term goals and needs

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)

Literally all of my LinkedIn connections are recruiters lmao
