Hello I got a confirmation from HR at Shell that I have been selected for a role and there will be background checks before joining the company. He said the mail will come from a 3rd party vendor for the background verification. It has been 1 week and there has been no mails till now. Is it normal? Should I follow up with the HR again?

this may be a bit romanticized and far from the actual day-to-day work, but pure strategy requires a mix of creative and critical thinking with a sprinkle of competition that I think is very attractive to some people. May want to base your letter off that
High impact work and type of work I guess
I loooovvveeee PowerPoint and dashboards
Yep, except that one as well.
I think strategy work by big 4 is pure BS. It's just common sense stuff presented very nicely on amazing looking PPTs. In my experience in working on strategy projects, I never saw something identified that client already didn't know. I have always wondered why the clients even hire consultants for strategy work. But that's my thing. Other people can see a lot of value in it.
I think you’re on to something….
You’re gonna wanna go with “ayeeee must be the monayyyyy” 💵

I read the beginning, knew what my response was going to be, and then I saw the last line 😤
Lets be fair, that would be the real reason for 99.99% of the majority lmao
You like problem solving and big impact. Just Google "why strategy consulting" and pick something. The question is not seriously evaluated and is mostly something to pass time fir the interviewer to scan your resume or pull up case info. Anything halfway decent is fine.
