Hiring freeze + soft attrition happening. Industry has killed off all project spending due to interest rates and government due to inflation. Consulting has entered a deep slumber.

I'm in a boutique (~2000 people worldwide). My team (related to energy) is meeting util targets and my personal util rate is 90%+. But other teams have got some slack and those people are talking about doing lots of BD instead of client work. No talk of retrenchment, though, which is good.

Hello hello,

Had my induction today at my new company (asset manager). Really liked HR girl who led the meeting, chatted a bit after, loved her smile.

How can I take it to the next step? Was thinking of coffee/grabbing lunch in our canteen, but sounds like a risky move (especially given she's HR..).

Thoughts?
