🌈 Hiring PM’s! 🌈

I work for an L&D company near Denver. We build learning technologies/simulations for large corporations for mid-level managers to C-suite! I exited from Deloitte (5 YOE) and pay is nice. No travel and WFH 2-3 days a week. PM me if interested 🤓

5 free nights at any SPG property in the world - where are you going?

We flew back from Ireland today on Delta. Our connecting flight from JFK at 6:10 was cancelled while we were flying over the Atlantic Ocean, and we were rebooked on a 3:40 instead (2.5 hours earlier) but not notified. I received no email, text or app notification of the flight cancellation or the new flight we were placed on, so we missed it. They now cannot get us home tonight and won’t even guarantee they can get us home tomorrow, impacting my work, (cont)…

What engineering fields have the most opportunity for someone who wants to travel as part of their job?

Could anyone from Bain’s London office provide any insight into how much travel was typically involved (Pre-COVID)?
Also, how do you see the split of WFH/office/client site be going forward?
Thank you!

So peeps, office opening up.

What's your plans on moving to Mumbai? Knowing apartment hunting can be a real bitch, some are planning to go back to hometown in the WFH week. i.e work at office at designated week and live in temporary accommodation, and then travel back.

Marriott already hitting me with the check in notification for Sunday night. Where did my weekend go

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?

Can I bring my parents and sibling also in relocation reimbursement and also for the hotel accommodation?

I am super excited to have reached platinum premier with ambassador. It's been over a month but I still don't have an ambassador. Do I get notified or do I need to call Marriott? Thank you

Couldn’t check in for an hour because there was a ‘fire alarm’. Hoe many points?

For anybody who has flown from the LA to the Maldives – what airline did you fly and did you like it?

I have an 8 hour layover in Madrid. Never been there before. Is it worth leaving the airport and doing something in the city? Any tips on what to see in a few hours?

Anyone can tell me what an airport lounge looks like?

Would you catch the next flight out to India if it means keeping your job?

Are u supposed to tip the luggage carrier/ outside agent the airport? this is the guy who is outside your terminal, he prints ur tick, tags your bag and sends u on ur way. No, right?

Naples, worth it or pass? More interested in going to Pompeii but thinking of doing a day trip from Rome instead

Tips on discussing reimbursement for travel expenses during the “interview” process? I was invited to travel to a different state to discuss joining a firm. Should I even bring up the topic of expenses , or just pay my own way?

Whoever said bumble bbfs was great couldn’t have been more right. It’s weird I’ve l been confident in how I look in the last few years but my personality and likability was put into question but instantly I seem to be receiving the friendship attention I like, 50+ likes by 4am on the first day, signed up at 2am. It’s kind of nice to make brand new friends without having a connection or a class together. Old friends and friends or friends sometimes benchmark you and don’t view the new you

Have been approached for a role at PMSI Strategy Consultants?

There is very little information available about them. Has anyone heard of them?

Seems like they are focusing on CDD only but would love to know more about them if anyone has any insights.

Does anyone else constantly put off putting their time in as they go and then hate their life at the end of the month? Then once you get caught up, you don’t want to enter more time, and so you fall behind again. It’s a vicious cycle.

Like this post if you want to TP one of Sir Martin's houses with me.

Any of my good friends at Deloitte or EY have any security positions open? Extremely interested

Is it okay to take leaves during probation in Infosys consulting? The offer letter does mention 4 leaves per quarter.

I'm joining during in October and thought I could take a week off for Christmas. Not sure if they have a concept of block leaves during Christmas though.

If I end up quitting after maternity leave, do I have to pay back any of my leave benefits? I guess I could ask HR, but wouldn't want to throw out any warnings.

How does IBD compare to consulting in terms of hours, quality of work/learning, and exit opps? I know there are many such posts on the internet but would like to hear views from ppl who’ve done both

Best exit ops you have seen peers take? (Company, salary, any sweet perks, etc)

Discussion post: I feel almost all consulting firms are the same. Mbb, big 4 etc. if you are paid enough there is probably less wlb. If there is good wlb there is not much money. Can you single out a company that you can confidently say pays very well and also has good wlb and also has good opportunities etc.?

Does anyone from EY have insight on layoffs? I'm seeing horror stories from other firms but haven't heard anything about EY layoffs. (Manager, FSO-Advisory-Risk)

Not exactly my first choice of places to take in the Fourth, but the fireworks look amazing from 30,000 feet. Happy Fourth of July, y'all!

Any really impactful books that have helped you career-wise? Not necessarily consulting focused. In need of guidance and a new book so figured I'd kill two birds with one stone or whatever.

Has anyone rented out a space at a Marriott hotel for an event? Aren’t you supposed to get Bonvoy points based on the amount you spend?

Westin, Conchal, Costa Rica, anybody have an opinion/review to share? Looking at a week with her Hotness in February.

Good consulting books? Not talking case prep but a fun read about the industry and what it takes to succeed, etc. Thank you!

Looking for book recommendations; any favorites? Interested in both fiction and educational/self-improvement (for example, investment / finance books, time management, etc). I feel my vocab is...

Consultants who’ve switched to tech firms in mid career (~7 yoe): what are your roles now, what was your consulting expertise, how did u pivot? Yes I’m googling too, this is part of my research. Thx!!

Got shut out of my regular terminal A delta shuttle flight from LGA and now will have to step into the fray of main terminal tomorrow. Is it that terrible? What time should I arrive for 7 AM flight?

I’m in NYC. does anyone have experience signing up with something like soho house? Worth it with our schedules?

I had a dream last night that I got lay-off from Deloitte via an email ... I got an offer lately that I rejected, if my dream were true, can I reactivate the offer?

Wow! Amazing to see how many people were out tonight! Hundreds? Maybe close to a thousand?! So excited to see so many people out living their best lives and not letting this virus get them down. :)

Folks with suits that travel - how do you get around the one carry on and one personal item rule if you have a carry on, laptop bag, and garment bag?
