Hi all, I'm curious how much of the 'One McKinsey' model is really true at least at the national level. I have an offer from a tier 2 city (Seattle, Denver, Austin, etc). I have always been fascinated by McKinsey's reputation of being able to work on a project anywhere in the country regardless of your home office and traveling often for work (yes I want this lifestyle). Is this still the case? Or is it generally hard to get on cases outside of your local office?

Hello Everyone,

I need recommendation for a Project Manager role. I have about 4 + years experience managing projects and in consulting.

I am based in Canada and a remote role will be great.

I anticipate your responses and recommendations thank you very much.

When the IRS (e.g., a RO/AO/Examiner) calls or writes a letter… How do you verify that it’s really the IRS and not a scam? I’m new to tax law and I’m worried that I’m going to respond to/answer a scam and give away client info (or my own tax preparer info). I don’t think my worry is unfounded due to the tremendous amount of tax/IRS scam out there but it would be nice to hear from some of y’all so that I’m not so worried about it…

Please share your “must-have” home office chair. I need to replace mine and want something a heck of a lot more comfortable than my current one. Must have wheels and arm rests.

What is the bonus structure at your firm? I work at an IP boutique in patent and trademark prosecution. Our billable is 1850, which sounds nice except that patent prosecution is done on fixed fee so you can only bill so many hours per project. Bonus structure is gross salary divided by 1850 times hours over. So ex, $95 hourly x hours over 1850 and then taxed.

I like the project I am on but I truly dislike the senior I work with. Never met such a condescending man in my life.

One of my current coaching clients told me “I have to interview for my job.” It’s not the first time I’ve heard of this happening in a re-org.

And what does it do to employee morale?

Hi all—sorry this might be a bit personal or tmi, but I started big law about a year ago, which has been incredibly stressful etc. since then, I’ve noticed that my cycle has gone haywire, I miss periods or getting multiple the same month, there’s just no predictability anymore. I was wondering if anyone else has gone through this before? Does it get better/does your body adjust to the stress or will this just be my life now?

How easy / difficult it is to get an internal transfer to Dubai offices of MBB from India?

I'll mostly get a transfer to the US from my firm in the next year, but am contemplating an offer from one of the MBBs in India

Really need some advice. Currently have an offer to transfer to the Business Transformation team in Canada or tech Consulting team in US. Both Senior positions.

The US city is my dream city and would move in a heart beat but career wise Business Transformation feels like it will open more doors but downside is that it is in Canada and I don’t know if it will be hard to transfer to the US city after.

Any advice would be appreciated!
