Hey,
I understand client relationships and storytelling are crucial skills, but what else does the PwC advisory offer?
I don't like the work of just googling and creating decks all day. There is no learning or thrill in this. Should I explore roles in product companies, where I can find and solve problems myself?

PS: I am confused between jobs that provide work-life balance vs fun in real problem-solving.

In Govt consulting which fall under Advisory,you will sit with the Client who maybe a senior IAS office and support in implementation of projects in which you will see real impact on ground.

Thanks for the input, it does provide some clarity.

I am confused. Which company offers thrills in their JD? Consultants are hired for 4 primary reasons - to get an outside in perspective, to get to understand something new, to convey bad news, and know where your company stands vis a vis competition. Decks are only a way of communication in a structured way. In all four areas you have to know more than your client. You have to ensure your opinion is backed by data. That's where your Google. But the opinion formation requires understanding macro economics, human behaviour, technical depth and business acumen. Even if you are an SAP developer in PwC, process knowledge has to be strong. Your opinion of consulting is built on internet memes and hearsay.

I’m currently a third year in my small firm’s life sciences team. I’m not really stimulated by the work and although they say they have a lot of work, they’re not good at managing workload. I haven’t had much work on my plate even after asking many times for more than six months. I’m ready to move to a larger law firm. However, I am concerned how I’ll manage the workload as a mom to a toddler. The good thing about my firm is that they’re flexible with hours. Anyone have experience balancing?

I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).
