I dream about Excel spreadsheets and PowerPoint slides when I'm on client site

Confession: I used my hospital client ID today to get discounts on donuts. 😐

Hi fishes!

I am seeing too many post about awards like rising star, Kudos, etc. People keep telling there managers recommended them for these awards.
My manager doesn't interact much with us. I consider myself as some one who has worked hard for project and other intiatives. Should I ask my manager to consider me and if yes how should I initiate it.
Part of MC team.

Thank you.

Strange.

My boss is asking me to “reconsider” the way I approach a client… I am in charge of this annoying corporate maintenance thing that we do for a client (I.e., making board of directors meeting to comply with some regulatory reporting required. I always end up missing deadlines. How would you reply?

When’s the best time to go client side? Wait till I get a promotion or try to switch sooner rather than later?

With no traveling and hair salons closed for so long I’ve decided to grow an man bun. Acceptable to keep once we are at client sites again or frowned upon....

Stories of a Jax night out?

I'll go first: on a last night out for a navy guy I'd dated for like 6mo he dragged us to king street where i never enjoy, at the bar w the toss the ring game a couple was fucking in the bathroom and the guy in front of me in line was mad about it taking so long so he started banging on the door trying to break it down and started to fight them when they came out. So we escaped to kickbacks where a customer threw a drink at the waitress who subsequently pulled a 🔪

Got laid off. Just started at the agency. Was so excited because it’s a great shop. Now what?

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

Hairclipper recommendations for men?

Finally decided to take things into my hands :/

Has anyone here tested positive for covid-19? What was your experience, symptoms, etc.? And if you are willing to share, what’s your age, gender, and do you have any pre-existing health conditions? I’ve seen tons of data, but just want to hear about different experiences now too from people that have had it.

After Rodney King, businesses moved out of disadvantaged neighbourhoods because it was too dangerous to be there. Same thing will happen here

Anyone work at Datastax? Curious 🤨 if there is a lot of turnover

I’m hiring a part time remote recruiter! Minimum of 3 years of recruiting experience, at least one year of DoD recruiting. Please feel free to message me if you’re interested or know someone who is!

I have a question about pricing. Some context to my upcoming question: My brother and I are starting a personal training business. I have six years military experience and he is still in the military. Collectively we have passed the hardest schools in the military and both love fitness and have experience building programs and are both certified personal trainers. I don’t know weather we should charge on the higher spectrum because of our experience or lower because of our business infancy.

How do you balance your social life with work? I feel like all my non-law friends are out doing shit every night and living it up on the weekends and I just can't. I'm either working or I'm tired from working. How can I set better boundaries about working outside of work, and where do y'all get the motivation to be outside after work 😭

I struck out at OCI my 1L year and feel I've done nothing but play catch-up since. I have more real work experience than most of my big law friends but just don't seem to be impressing most employers. What should be my next step.

What's your highest Corporate Card balance?

I fucking love these Settler commercials. "And you have your foot stomping".

Wanting to make a shift into strategy/mgmt consulting from HealthIT. Any good books out there to help prep? Looking for anything but preferably technical information to prepare for an interview.

Recently joined a project that’s been in flight for long time. Onboarding hasn’t been great, not sure who my Point of contact is, where we are in the process (since they started such a long time ago and the SoW is outdated by at least 2 years), what the objectives are for this phase of work. Manager sort of just says things that suggests I should know, which deters me from asking Qs. They recently came across as a bit annoyed when I’d ask a few Qs. Not sure if they fee the onboarding decks…tbc

When an MD asks you for any feedback you may have for them, what would be a good response without ticking them off?

I have a first round interview at Uber and curious to get some perspectives from Uber 🐠. Want to get thoughts on the recent layoffs, current culture, and perceived future of the company. Anything to help set comp expectations would be helpful as well. Thanks ahead of time!

What do you do when you’re on the bench and your next project starts in 2 weeks?

Need a good recommendation for a home office chair. I work from home a lot and need a new chair. My new one isn’t cutting it for me- it’s not comfy and I have lower back pain.

Anyone think 4 day work week will become widely acceptable in the us?

I am leaving consulting after 7~ years. 2+Y in my current firm.
The goods: Generally young talented people, global though leaders, international collaboration and a brand in my cv.
The bads: Distributed ownership with short-term vision in the business units, we would enage any project in any client as long as it counts for the partner. And we would use the margin as an input, not as a result, so we would be forced to understaff projects so numbers look good. Politics and promises that never came

Good books for case prep/valuation. Econ consulting, if relevant. TIA

What is the buzz about return to travel at your firm? Deloitte is still figuring things out, but it sounds like most people will travel much less moving forward, traveling for workshops, milestones, and other important events, instead of every week. What are the other firms talking about doing?

Thoughts on EW MBA from Booth/Kellogg/Haas. Currently SC at Deloitte and want to transition to tier 1 consulting firms

Tales of boredom: I’ve taken to replicating Lebron’s chalk toss at home except instead of chalk I’m using cat food. My cats seem to enjoy this and I figure I’m doing my part to prevent kitty obesity. I also figure this is why I’m presently sleeping on the couch.

Dec end is my birthday and first anniversary. planning on a week long trip in the us. suggestions?
