How bad is it to reach out to your client for a job opportunity?

I hate my project and I’m beginning to realize that burning out is a possibility.

One hell of a productive ‘vacation day’! Spent catching up on all the training requirements and pending client work! #YayPwC!

Need some advice - been at the D for a year and have been on the same implementation project for over a year. Have a technical background and am thinking of starting to look for exits to industry but also am curious what strategy projects are and if I would be interested in the work. Is it worth networking onto a strategy project at the D or should I just continue to look for industry exists and then go b school and then try for MBB/T2 ?

Is there an appropriate way to turn down an assignment because it is non-billable? Two of the partners I work for keep asking me to write client bulletins and articles with them, which is great, but now I’m starting to worry about meeting my billable hours requirement.

On my way to LA for a shoot tomorrow. I am sure I’ll check in with client, have internal powwows etc. I want to charge for this day as I will be working but agency is technically closed...

Just got staffed on a project in Pittsburgh. Don’t own a good winter coat since I am born and raised in Georgia. Any recommendations for coats that are cute but will keep me warm as well? 

How do you represent your time consulting on your resume when looking to go back to industry? I've been on the same A&D project for my year+ at ACN. i.e. what do you share about client work?

Trouble networking virtually; I started recently, 3 months ago. I am not sure how projects/internal moves work but I was wondering if anyone has advice on networking virtually? I am finding it tricky because I don't know anyone apart from my team & I can't view Talent Marketplace because I am on a billable project, not sure how long it will go. I enjoy my work and not looking to move just yet, I wanted to see what else is out there and looking for opportunities to network with more people.

In-house newbie here. I’ve been put in charge of drafting up a corporate policy that creates a process for employees to object to working with a client for ethical reasons. We are a vendor in the SaaS space. What legal claims should be included here? Religious, political.... anyone in HR know of a good resource to point me to specifically for this topic?

If your job function is meh but your team and client are great, is it worth the risk of moving to more interesting work with the possibility of a bad team/client?

I’m between features and looking to add to my subtle humor/visual storytelling/kids commercial reel. Anyone out there have a legit but budget-challenged client job they’d like produced at cost?

Just had a client FaceTime me to present because her Skype wasn’t working...that’s a new one.

Anybody have any standard ways they ask clients to share feedback via email when a project ends without making it awkward or too formal? Is this standard practice?

I absolutely hate my project, but keep getting extended. what reasons can I give to leave the project besides outright telling the SM that I hate it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. TIA

If your client is 3/31 year end but books investments at NAV using the 12/31 market value adjusting for cash flows, what’s the best way to approach this? They don’t book 3/31 because they don’t get the numbers in time. Curious what other people do

Rolling off for two weeks. Should I enjoy at the beach or find a new project considering it is December?

SEA PAs that you admire the most in terms of “quality of projects - you want” and “leadership know what they are doing in project” => So, you like what you do in relatively sustainable way.

I’m a new manager and am trying to get off a client. Need guidance if I should do it. I work with a very nice senior manager who is up for partner. She gave me a very decent review. The client is horrible though. Piecemeal review comments, constant updates workpapers and last minute changes. The only good thing is working with this senior manager. She is also my counselor. I asked her to get off of this account, and she said the firm probably won’t allow it. I have another senior manager I work

My ~60 person group at my firm has only 5 women in it. Is there any excuse at all for this? Every project I’m on feels like the old boys club

What are good practices in terms of arranging a WFH workplace? I just realized that I've been working with my laptop since the start of the pandemic and now want to upgrade my workplace to something decent.

Do referrals @Amazon have a significant impact on securing an interview?

Hey ladies! If you’re a technology consultant right now at Accenture how much do you make? I’m having an interview soon and want to know what to ask for. Thanks!

I'm in final rounds w a large tech company (interview already scheduled), but I saw that the company just removed the job posting I'm applying for on their website. Does this mean they already selected a candidate and I'm wasting my time? Or does it mean they have enough candidate selection for the final round to where if I have an offer, I'm less able to negotiate since the company has a lot of back up candidates. First time leaving consulting so all of this is new to me.

I’m trying to figure out what my in hand paycheck would be after all the ore tax deductions (benefits, 401K, etc) when I work in NYC and live in NJ. Is there a calculator that can help with this?

Is it a bad idea to join a first time VC fund as a Sr Associate as a PL at BCG? I expect itll be a massive decrease in comp (TC ~300k to ~150-180?). But its a topic thats interesting to me and the hours will be better

My career goal isn’t to make it to MBB or a unicorn or FAANG. It’s to feel fulfilled and challenged as I progress. I can’t be the only one that isn’t title or company chasing.

Coming back from vacation soon and have a pit in my stomach when I think about checking email/any PwC platform next week. 😖

Is HSW worthless in the job market without MBB/BBIB/FAANG to go with it? Please show your work 🙂

Hi Tax Bowlers, I'm an experienced associate (2yrs) in a Big 4 Transfer Pricing division. I have reached a point in my career where I am considering taking up a professional certification. Several colleagues recommended taking up either ACCA or CFA, however, I see little connection between these certifications and the work that I am currently doing, and what I plan to do in the future. What would you guys suggest? Would it be detrimental to my career if I did not take up any certifications?

Can partners get fired?

Anyone heard of ServiceTitan. What’s the company culture like ?

Anyone here invest in index funds? I’m thinking about VTSAX but FXROX has no expense fees so it looks enticing. But I hear most people rave about VTSAX

Can anyone provide compensation expectations for M1 in the EY Los Angeles office in the People Advisory service line. Currently 3yrs senior consultant, MBA, 8 YoE. Thanks!
