How hard is it to actually get fired. Like do you actually have to be doing nothing and never show up to meetings and continuously miss deadlines? Like I see so many workaholics sending late night emails or on the weekends. Do people work those hours because they are scared of being laid off or fired vs trying to set boundaries and working normal business hours?

People in cmaas, how’s the WLB recently? Are you still working 50+ weekly?

Hi! I am seeking for an advise, anything helps! I applied to Accenture’s entry level analyst program. I applied a few days ago (I know it’s a bit late, but the application is still open thankfully). Yesterday, I joined a resume workshop w/ an Accenture recruiter. She went through my resume and said that I have a strong one! I’ve also set up a coffee chat w/ her next week. Unfortunately, I got an email today from the system, they decided not to move forward :( Should I reach out to her abt this?

Do you think partners in law firms have too much power and autonomy? eg. the power to refuse leave, to do your annual appraisal, to make you work while on leave, to overwork people, to manage the team on their on terms etc. Is this power bad or good for the firm and the team overall?

Finally it's Friday! Just 2 more days to go till this week is over.

I’ve been seeing all of the Instagram and Linked In posts from agencies in town showing their “commitment to transparency in hiring” and to hire more minorities in light of the BLM movement. I knew the numbers were bad, but holy shit, not THAT bad.
It’s infuriating to me, as a POC how many fucking times I applied, emailed and reached out to so many of these agencies without getting even the time of day.
I’ll believe their supposed commitments, when I actually see the results.

Have been doing DDs for the past 6 months and slowly burning out. But whenever I think about moving to normal cases I feel like I’m taking the easy way out. I know it’s not true, but somehow feel inferior to folks who have done DDs for much long and seems thriving
