Currently I'm in a depressed and indecisive state with very low confidence. My salary is very much below par with respect to my experience.
YoE : 4
CTC : 5.25 lpa
I'm not prepared to make a switch . Is it ethical to ask my manager to revise the CTC . If yes , how much can I ask . Need your valuable inputs 🙏

To go back to the question, I find roughly four categories of potential value from this app. 1) yes, salary info, firm policies, hotel codes etc. 2) hilarity and/or mild offense at the trials and tribulations of traveling consultants 3) Advice on Tumi bags and other accessories and 4) very occasionally, a brilliant and insightful discussion on a Consulting trend, a professional development question, or a navigating-the-firm question. I generally come for the entertainment, but I stick around for those occasional gems
What does “I am female” have to do with anything?
Consultant 1, just another fancy, mystified, and almost useless “methodology” invented by our consulting industry. On client side, it’s usually the most uncreative people who advocate it. Sorry for being cynical but that’s how I really feel...
@A1 - that’s iterative development, not design thinking. The issue is that high quality, professional qualitative research requires extreme rigor and skill, and is the foundation of design thinking. And since most consultants aren’t trained in it and it’s relatively easy to fake, design thinking looks mushy.
Can you explain design thinking please. Every definition I've seen is vague and nonspecific
@A1 not wrong, per se, but you are describing a tool - prototyping (and DT / agile are usually complementary) whereas DT is really closer to a human-centered scientific method with a chunk of intuition and creativity embedded. Are you relentlessly focused on your users? DT can uncover existing problems via research and stories and test creative solutions. It's about getting close to your people, and doing it well is really hard. On one hand, I like that there's now a word for the discipline and people know what it is and wanna use it. On the other, I don't like that people are learning on the fly not really respecting that it requires work and talent to do well.
PWC1 hit it on the head. That is why I am here also.
But what is it supposed to be? It's described like thinking about what you want to achieve before starting but i assume there's more to it. It's hard to see the difference from regular thinking
@C1 - it’s user and story driven approach. The issue is that doing it well requires expertise and experience, but now since it’s “cool”, everyone is saying they use it without a whole lot of rigor.

I was initially told about FB by my firm as a new hire. Can't speak to "design thinking" but I've taken the rather simple approach of asking questions when I'm on here, and the answers have helped.
I've sourced a few good candidates in the Exit Opps bowl. Also part of the Fish Over 40 bowl.
Definitely not invented by our consulting industry. Dates as far back as the 60s, only beginning to augment Consulting recently
@D1: I think that design thinking is inherently non-rigorous. It is like making something half way then taking a step back to consider if it works. When you realize it doesn’t, you go in a totally different direction
@D1: my understanding was that iterative development was more about small steps and tweaks while following an overarching process that remains unchanged. Design thinking would be iterative, but relies on sharp divergence from the overarching process typically associated with iterative implementation. I likened it to bracketing with prototypes to discover what the real problem is. Is that wrong? I wasn’t taught this formally.
OP clearly you are not a very good design thinking consultant if that’s what you have to share after 2 years. I’ve seen it in action - very effective for breaking through to new ideas and solutions. For those of you that want to learn about it, check out LUMA Institute -

Hey OP! I've been helping trying to kick off a Design Thinking bowl. Maybe you can help out? https://joinfishbowl.com/bowl_7b8yli
@D1: thanks for taking the time to explain. It’s not something I deal with regularly and I feel like I now have a better understanding to bring to the table when it comes up next
C2 — great article. I’ve noticed that the frequency of post-it note use in my studies has skyrocketed over the past couple years—a trend I hope I can reverse
