If you have a laptop and a secondary screen - and you are presenting a PowerPoint over Skype (display desktop) on Screen 2 (display screen) how do you ensure nothing pops up when you open new windows.

I'm having difficulties connecting with my team over Zoom, and I'm feeling lonely. Anyone else?

When is it either allowed or seen as OK to start using FTO? I recently started here and while I’m not looking to slack off and take time off, I just want to know how it works. (Plus, I don’t want to not use something that I can or should use.) Elementary stuff, I know. But I’ve freelanced my whole career until now. Thanks

Has anyone seen any unique places to find UX portfolios or post jobs other than the usual suspects?
Some UX Slack channels were doing well for a while but I definitely don’t see as much traction there. Meetups obviously came and went. Even the portfolio sites like Dribbble and Behance don’t seem that same.

Teachers, what is the first thing you do when you log off of Google Meet, Zoom, Teams? Go!

Zoom meetings have been fantastic. I can highly recommend my home group SOS. 7:30 daily. Great way to get grounded as you start your day.

Just realized I hadn’t had an in-person interview since 2019. I’ve done multiple zoom interviews and was onboarded remote in 2020. About to see a real person today! Wish me luck.

Are forums dying out? Are they still worth developing for a new community, or would you go straight to Discord/Slack?

Anyone looking to do a case prep this weekend via Skype / phone?

As things start to open up fully, some of my institutional clients are sending notices that we are expected to do X activity over zoom from here on out (things we used to do in person). Clearly it’s a cost cutting measure. Anyone else feel like filing for telephonic appearance so the insurance company can save a buck isn’t going to sit well with judges who prefer in person attendance? I hope they deny all of them so my billables don’t suffer. Less travel = more desk bs I have to do to hit quota

Generally curious how many companies offer phone reimbursement? My last gig did not but the current one does. Legally it seems, all employers are required to do so if we use our phone in literally any capacity (video call, slack, teams, emails etc). How prevalent is the issue of not reimbursing phone dues?

Our district voted on returning back to school with students in the classroom and some staying at home. We now have to teach students in the room and on Zoom at the same time. I’m not complaining but does anyone have any tips on the best and most effective way to get this done?

I am curious how other inclusion teachers are being utilized when the school is doing remote learning. I find that I am sitting in the zoom class and have very little opportunity to contribute. I am having discussions with my teachers on ways that I can better support them and the students when remote.

Do you use a roth or traditional 401(k)?

Best managerial practice to solve serious team conflicts?

I’ve heard salaries have gone up quite a bit in the midst of the pandemic and I’m wondering if this is true for EAs as well. There’s a myriad of data online about EA salaries depending on age/experience but I’m interested in salaries from jobs accepted in 2020/2021 specifically!

Please feel free to share:

- Your salary from any job accepted in 2020/2021
- Any offers you may have received but rejected
- Your length of experience

Thank you!

Hi,
I have got an offer from JPMC and I have another counter offer . Just wanted to understand if there is any probability for the JPMC offer to be revoked if I am renegotiating with them? Also, how many days before my LWD should I ask for renegotiation?

Would you send over a file for review with your name on it when told for job security or respect yourself and understand why first

Any other freelancers/creatives getting late payments from WPP lately? I know of two agencies. Am I conflating two things or is this WPP going belly under?

Are there any good movies or novels that show skill development - like follow through? Self-management? Money management? I read a lot of self help books so I know a lot of the theory, and books peppered with examples help, but I feel like most 1 paragraph examples don’t five justice to how hard it may be to change a behavior.

I started working as a consultant with EY 8 months ago. Even though I'm content and learning a lot there, I think there are places where I might easily earn more money. I received a job offer last week from Alvarez & Marsal to work as a consultant at the Transaction Advisory Department (financial due diligence team), where I will be paid more fairly (salary & bonus). Should I accept it? Or would leaving EY that early not be wise?

Hi all. I’m finishing up school and looking to start applying for jobs in tech, I’m going for computer science, what range of salary should I expect going into this field?

Asking for a friend who's is deciding between these two companies and coming from industry!

What are the top consulting firms in the retail/CPG space?

Friend and I started sending each other gag gifts in the mail. Things have escalated quickly: hey just spent $150 and sent me 200lbs of dog food wrapped up in gift boxes. I don’t own a dog. What can I do to one up him? 🎁

Had this question pop up a lot recently - discussed here many times before, but want to see if we can quantify the discussion a bit. Let’s assume the vaccine is at 70% shots in arms by 4th of July (‘21), and 80-85% by Labor Day. In 2022, are we back to 3/4/5, or do you think parts of the remote culture will stick going forward?

Any book recommendations? Preferably shorter < 300

How would you deal with a guy who wants to become your roomie, so you reject 2 other people who were interested too. Then he says- he will join in after 2 months and you accept that too. Now those 2 months are over and he doesn't reply to your texts or calls.

Seriously considering buying a used camper, doing a light renovation, and taking it out west and just working remote next summer. Put all of my belongings in storage, set my parents address as mailing address, and just be a nomad for at least next summer. I would get a Verizon router for WFH. Am I crazy to be seriously considering doing this? Single M 🐠, 26.

My roommate is playing video games online, but somehow the internet is down for me 😑

Bartender at the hotel finally knows my name and face. Am I a real management consultant now?

SM asked us to shifted client billing hours to non-chargeable code... Will significantly impact utilization... Sucks

Split on the value of MBA. I am a Big4 Consulting Manager, (5 YOE, 2 of those at Manager level). I’ve progressed fast without MBA to this point, and MBA hires come in to my firm as Seniors which is below my level (appreciate they get paid more). I want to transition to industry. Is there value in me doing a MBA? I have no debt, so would be nervous taking on so much in student loans but I am trying to play the long game here. Have you seen experienced consulting managers do MBAs? Am I too late?!

How many of you have no plans and cringe whenever someone tells you happy holidays 😞?

Not trying to do this but just curious: if one was counseled out from a firm, would they have any luck applying to that same firm in a few months or years? At the same role or a more senior role?

Looking for some book recommendations :)
