Deals Strategy would start you earlier if we could - we’re sold out!

Our deal strategy team is boom or bust. Either everyone is scrambling or completely dead. Their reputation is slowly improving in the market so I expect good job pipeline. The only challenge is they have lost a lot of good talent lately at the leadership levels.

Where did they leave?

I'm considering a move to the PEVC Deals Strategy team at a mid to senior level role. What are the work hours, work/life balance, return to office requirements, etc., and overall environment like there? Hard work, good projects, good teams, overall worth it? Appreciate the feedback.

I’m in PEVC. We’ve had a huge hiring surge recently for experienced hires so you’d come in with a relatively large group. I know at least 15 who joined within the last 6 months or are set to join soon. As PwC 2 noted, culture does vary team to team based on your industry. Basically everything varies based on your industry, level, and where you live. If you DM me more specifics I’ll give you a more precise answer.

Brought my gf sushi take out to her house when she got off of work. She didn't like the meal I got her and started to eat the roll i got for myself. She noticed I wasn't eating so I told her I ate before rather than tell her she was actually eating my dinner. She's now mad at me that I "lied" even though I did it so she wouldn't be embarrassed. Who's in the wrong

35M. Friend zoned after one date. What am I doing wrong? I met her at a baby shower. We talked/text regular for about a month or so because I was traveling for work. Finally went on a date about two weeks ago, a week after I told her I like her and said she never thought about us being romantic. Today I got the official friend zoned text.

Dubai people I live in Marquise Square tower and my neighbor is having a party literally every day till 4-5 in the morning- I spoke to him and he apologized and promised to keep it quiet but he didn’t. So I spoke to the security if they can tell them to calm down and the security said that he can’t do anything as it’s the weekend! Is that normal or should they give me a noise compliance and force him to stay quiet after some time.

For questions as to why you are looking to leave your current firm.. I am looking to move because for some reason I am hand-held a lot and given simpler tasks, so I am getting bored and want more challenging / much more fast paced environment. Also kind of bored because I am on one project for a long time and I want exposure to variety of projects. Is this a fair answer or would I be seen as arrogant? Is there a better way to frame my answer?

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
