How accurate is this person's experience at McKinsey? Sounds absolutely brutal! https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2021/09/my-bosses-at-mckinsey-made-us-get-on-2-a-m-zoom-calls/

My company is transitioning from wfh back to the office, but everyone returning to the office is supposed to be vaccinated. I told my boss I would NOT be getting the vaccine and he said I wouldn’t have a desk in the office until I did. So I told him I would continue to wfh. He said that “wouldn’t work.” After our phone call, I got an invite for a zoom conference with my boss and an HR rep!? They’re infringing on my rights by requiring a vaccine. What can I do to make sure I keep my job?

EY folks, a couple of questions about H1 extension filing. 1) Does EY law file extension under premium by default? 2) Can’t see my USCIS case no. on Zoom yet. When is that usually available to track?

Hi all, I am a Enterprise BDR currently at my company and looking for referrals to tech companies such as Slack, Salesforce, Outreach, etc. for AE Roles.
I am the top performer on my team across EMEA, APAC & US, always at 100-300% of target.
I am based in the UK myself. Happy to connect/hop on a call with anyone!

How the f do people leave a webex meeting in 2 seconds? It takes me at least 10.

Has anyone had a client request zoom and virtual house showings?

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

Anyone else having problems with students using their own personal zoom account or someone else's?

I’m pretty buzzed and was on a zoom party, but the host left and ended up ending the meeting cause he had no clue he could do that :/

Muslim Consultants Trivia Zoom Call? Who’s in?

Any other juniors get mistaken for senior associates? I’m in my late 20’s, but I think I look older and tend to dress less casually than the rest of the office, so that could be a reason. I was in another practice area for a few years, but am a junior first year associate as I lateraled over into another practice area. Partners at other firms call me and attempt to negotiate deal terms and structure directly with me, and investment banks ask me questions during Zoom meetings. Is this weird?

What business-y tools do you all use for tracking projects, time, meetings, etc for design work?

Right now my planned list is as follows (planning to switch to full time freelance soon), advice welcome! Would love to see others’ lists.

• Trello - tracking projects/to-dos
• Google calendar - meetings etc
• tbd (been using excel but want something different) - time tracking
• Zoom - meetings
• Evernote - note-taking
• Google drive - file storage

Am I missing anything?! Other tools? Help :)

Does anybody else think that the Wharton Slack & Discord groups are kinda quiet/inactive compared to admit groups from other schools?

The Johnson interview is via Skype. Does anyone know how it works? I booked my interview online and provided my Skype ID but there is no link shared or anything. Do I need to download Skype on my laptop and wait for the interviewer to call me? Or will there be a link to be shared with me close to the interview date?

Thoughts on zoom by Friday? 50 puts @ 400 for $8.7 Nov 13

I don't know why but I don't like that Slack fiesta parrot reaction

Tomorrow is 1st day at EYGDS.
Have received invite for IT Orientation on webex for 45mins.
Any idea what is it about?
Will it be on Video or audio only would work.

Client makes me fly in every week to sit at a desk and attend all meetings via Skype. Sigh. I'm pretty sure Skype works at my house!

After 7 hours of back to back zoom video meetings and then an additional 5-6 hours of work every day how do I get any me time?

Slack is down. Guess I can't do any work. Time for brunch break.

Instagram has optimal times to post during the weekdays and weekends, and users can see these perfect times online (e.g. 2-4 pm) . However, I only caught that magical time once. I used Facebook business suite to schedule my posts for the best times to post, yet I had no luck. What do you recommend?

Taking my CFP exam in November and am getting nervous. I still have 5 weeks to continue to study but it is so tough to juggle running the practice, having a family, and finding time to study! Any advice from people who have been here?

Question on changing roles: a friend of mine did not pass the final round at BCG for an associate position, due to not having as much relevant experience as the other candidates. However, they are interested in him and will likely offer him a research position. Does anybody know whether it is likely that you can switch from a research role to a consulting role? Very interested to learn if anyone has experienced this :)

Thanks

Got a BS in Advertising in 2018 and have good knowledge of Adobe (photoshop, indesign, illustrator). Agency experience for 6 months doing PR, 1 year at marketing agency (google ads, SEO, analytics) and haven’t been able to work for a year due to visa processing so I’ve been doing freelance work: websites, social media… I believe I want to do strategy at an agency but also like consulting firms. I know my experience is a bit over the place so if anyone has any advice on what’d be a good fit!

Considering starting a consulting firm hiring mostly ADHD geniuses who are limited by normal office (pre-covid) environment.

Taboo+Stigma would make winning business a little more difficult, but hires would have had some measure of success on C.V.

Now consider the statement opportunity it might be for a brand to be the first client. Might be big news.

I’ve actually started putting together a little deck. DM if this is piques your interest.

How do I break into consulting from advertising?

I am interested in pivoting from an agency into a traditional business consultancy role. I have start-up tech experience and four years of Strategy experience for media clients. Are there any projects folks in consulting would recommend I take on to add to build on to a resume? From the outside looking in, it seems like there is an overlap in the core competencies of a strong strategist at an agency and a consultant.
