If Trump was a consultant. Client: can you deliver this? Trump: I'll tell you at that time. I'll keep you in suspense

My client can't stop saying "cool beans" at the end of every call...

Arrived in my client city by 8:15 AM made a pit stop at the McCaffrey’s for a coffee and egg and cheese sandwich. It’s gonna be a great week! Safe travels.

Ladies, if you were going to fancy dinner with a small group of colleagues (couple partners, couple associates), your biggest client and each of their respective wives, what would you wear? Because I’m the only non-wife woman, I want to avoid dressing too professional and sticking out, but I also want to be dressed appropriately for the occasion (and obviously I want to look cute/stylish).

Don't worry about hurting our creative feelings, just shoot it straight w/ client feedback. We can't hit a target without knowing exactly where to aim 🎯

I can't help but feel disappointed about the work we're doing. Like if I was a client, I wouldn't feel great about hiring my own team. I work to improve quality but just a lowly C under time pressure

Insight for the position of Mckenzie analytics fellow please? Is it client facing or backend programming most of times?

I’ve been staffed on a project with a shitty manager for the last 9 months and FINALLY had the balls to talk to my SM about my concerns and they’ve noticed a lot of the same issues and said the rest of the team has also raised similar concerns - I could cry 😭 I thought I was just bad at my job all this time bc I leave every meeting with my M with a laundry list of things to do and feel so defeated an anxious that I won’t ever get it all done but it feels so good to know I’m not alone!

How do I sell good work to a senior client whose single objective seems to buy triple extra safe stuff? The brand is amazing (🤴level) but they haven’t done anything great in over two years —>

Client ended my project 12/31. This morning he texts me asking if I’m joining a cadence call because he “needs us.” I reminded him that he ended our project. He says “I know but I miss the team.” WTF?

Arriving at St Charles.. not sure whether to be happy that I’m away from my project or depressed because I’m in St Charles. 😫

I over see a small team of developers and provide updates to the onshore team on their behalf. I'm at the same level(analyst) as them, but I attend meetings on their behalf.

There is a high visibility project that we have been working on for the last 4-5 months and they kept saying the development will be done soon. They kept delaying it and now the deadline is almost here, and my boss and bosses boss are asking me as to what's the progress.

Now, what should I do in this scenario?

How do I take better notes? First year struggling to get key takeaways when I don’t understand the business processes at my client yet..

I have a client who is about to sell their business(business services firm, llc) for about 15MM. What kind of things should I be thinking about as I try to help her plan for this exit? More specifically im looking for help@thinking through the estate planning and tax implications.

What’s the worst micro-managing experience you’ve had? Client just asked us to send facilitation/speaker notes for each slide so that she can review and provide feedback before a workshop tomorrow 🙄

What is a typical day / project like for an IT due diligence assessment?
