I think I am hitting my lowest point during the quarantine now - been four months since I saw my loved ones, living alone and now on a really stressful project 🙁 I don’t know how much longer I can keep myself motivated. Just wanted to vent, thanks for listening!

I have been applying to jobs nonstop and honestly feel so disheartened. I have my MBA with a healthcare management concentration and I even had my resume professionally done. I have almost 4 years total healthcare experience with the last almost 2-2 1/2 years in management. I am ready for a change and looking for a remote job, preferably in healthcare/project/program management. I am even open to entry level healthcare IT. Would appreciate any help!

How is Barclays account in IBM consulting? Being a new joiner getting tagged to that project. Any heads up will be appreciated.

Are client lunches billable? Not the cost of the food but the 90 mins I spent acting interested and contributing to the conversation.

Can someone please help me in getting project description related to LWC (Salesforce) for 2-2.5 yr experience, so that I can take reference and add in my CV?

Question with regards to treatment of Crypto loss: client purchased large amount of alt coins during 2021 and was intended to sell them shortly after the purchase. However his access to sell was restricted and he was not able to sell after continued attempts until 8 days later, the sell transactions went through- during this time the values dropped dramatically and he sustained $100K loss. Practically we’ll report this as ST capital loss, but I’m curious whether it could be viewed as damage?

Can anyone refer a good web developer? The site’s a parallax long scroll and a really fun project.

I like my work, it’s the people! Nope, scratch that. I don’t like this project either. 😩

I’m more junior at my firm, but what would be some good opportunities to seek out if I am interested in moving towards project management? I love the management, organizational, and people-focused parts of my job but am just not very interested in the technical parts. I want to make sure I’m asking for the correct opportunities…

Whew. Just started a project in the middle of Illinois... Pray for me 🙏🏾

Fishies. Hell just froze over. Client asked us to make the logo SMALLER. 🙃

How hard is it to manage direct-to-client freelance as a mid-level. Is selling your work in tough?

Current client has a “very casual” dress code — we’re encouraged to blend in but as the youngest and only female member on my team, I want to make sure I’m being taken seriously. Ideas?

Hi everyone! I would like to send a nice thank you/ holiday gift for my project partner and senior manager. I’ve known them for a long long time and they have been instrumental in my success at the...

Would a TPM (Technical Program/Project Manager) be a good transition coming from doing PMO at a utility?

How does this sound?

Post for likes! 😤

Parents in Consulting. How do you manage consulting hours (50+ hours) with children? What does your schedule look like?

My Senior Manager is going through a really rough time and has turned to drinking. There have been times where they showed up to the client site drunk and I had to take care / cover for them and (cont

What happens if you don’t pay back your signing bonus after leaving?

Have two offers both at SC level in cloud. $150k at Slalom and $170k at Deloitte. Slalom is fully remote and Deloitte will require up to 50% travel. Have read some horror stories across this bowl. Is Deloitte really that bad?

If you call yourself a part of the “silent majority”, ask yourself if this clown deserves your loyalty.

How do you come to terms with just not being smart enough to get to the next career level? Currently a senior consultant and the partners seem super humanly smart and good at their job, I think this is as high up as my brain can get

Feeling super discouraged. I’m pretty average IQ wise, but I’ve always been able to get ahead by working harder/longer than others. (e.g. I raised my ACT score for 29 to 35 by taking 30+ practice tests, and got into MBB on my second try by doing 50+ mock interviews.) But now that I’m at MBB I feel like working hard isn’t enough. I feel like to succeed here you have to be lightning fast at picking stuff up and executing tasks, and that’s just not me.

Cue all the posts about mask mandastes on planes. Just do you, if you like it awesome, if you hate it awesome. Let people be.

How many billable hours do you normally hit in a month? And compared to this summer?

The 3 meanest/worst managers/ I’ve ever had have all been females. The best managers I’ve ever had though have all been married females with children. It’s interesting . Does it come more naturally for moms to train people or do they just have a lot more practice 🤨

Which is better? 300k salary or 3m net worth

How does everyone feel about not traveling for another 6 months at least?

What’s an appropriate time to “call it a night”. There will always be more work but also starting to get burnt out.

Why hasn’t acronym FAANG been updated to include Microsoft or Tesla?

I have mixed opinions about Elon - he is a lot of things at the same time. However, I just hate how much power the super rich have to shape our world. It's not right and it isn't democratic.

Serious question…working from home full time, how do you freaking stop eating? If I could leave my desk (on calls) to go workout, that would be one thing but I’m at my desk for HOURS each day and the food is so close. Anyone have good tips besides willpower which I clearly do not have in this area?

Hot take: leave consulting asap! Mgmt/strategy consulting is not doing well as a whole and wont be for while. Not only are people losing compensation and jobs, theyre losing the experiences that are really applicable to industry. In my exp, most consultants are now working on now projects related to coronavirus relief (PPP loans, cost takeout, bringing employees back to office, etc.). I’m an avid linkedin user and I’ve noticed 50% of my practice now has premium. Must be saying something.
