I just joined a new (regional) firm as a manager. How long until I get assigned a project? Or am I supposed to find my own? It’s been a week and after on boarding I’ve been working on proposals.

it’s been a week chill out lol

Have you talked to sr managers or partners in your group? How would anyone here have any idea about how some unknown firm works?

funny

i was more so hoping to hear how other firms are run and then extrapolate

When we hire at a manager level, its usually because we have a number of audits that are in need of a manager. I'd guess that you have a team leader/partner/coach that should be helping to get those on your schedule.

Yeah that’s kind of what I was thinking. I seem to be more of a growth hire than a replacement, so I think I am mainly helping cover for summer
vacations at this point

My coach (partner in another city) seems pretty hands off, I told him my approach to start some BD and he just said go for it lol

Got braids. You'd think I literally got a face transplant from how shook my coworkers are. I would say over 10 people have stopped me to ask about them or comment on them and I've been at work for maybe 2 1/2 hours. It's all been positive, but am I wrong for still finding it annoying? They don't lose their minds when Sarah gets bangs or whatever so I wish they could keep that same energy.

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting. What do you guys think about this? I would be able to predict based on your firm(mbb, big4), your experience, which role you are likely to move (Faang pm, strategy manager, move to mbb). I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?

What do you estimate to be your personal functional inflation experienced over the last year?

I know the fed says 8.6%, but that number is averaged over many products normal people don’t frequently interact with.

I’d rough estimate something closer to 25% cost of living inflation over the last year for myself.

When is the best time to leave and go to another big4? I am at PwC and I knew the reputation they had and Some people said It may not be for me because of it. Ive been here a year and I feel as there right. My busy season is starting and I want to leave (not just because of my team) but as some of you may know getting along with the people you work with is a big part of wanting to stay at your job. I want to try to quit end of December and hoping to start a new position February.
