Serious question on what vacation means in the BigLaw world

My local Safeway is already stocking Valentine's Day chocolates. What would they do without holiday candy to sell? Is this their main purpose? I wonder what they do in off season (if that exists)

PwC people, does vacation negatively impact utilization the same way hitting G&A does?

Do we observe a holiday on 1st November?

How does a person change their mindset to be more positive? I feel like I’m meant for my job, but blame all my life problems on it….having no energy, being single at the age of 30, etc. and it seems like a never ending loop. I look for new jobs, realize I have a good job then am ok for a bit then start it all over again. When I’m off of work I’m fine and realize I have it pretty good. Only real negative is I can’t vacation with my family in March due to my busy time.

Do EY India give diwali bonus or any gifts on diwali.

Curious if Truist added extra perks for their junior bankers i.e. base salary increase, meal stipends, etc. along with the other banks? Thanks

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow. I thought we would at least match last year's number or be up a little bit but we are trending down. I talked to employees of other stores in the mall and they are saying the same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?

Hello everyone! How do you manage holiday pay when the holiday is on a Saturday/ Sunday. For example, if I have someone working on Christmas (Sunday), they should be paid 1.5 but what if they work on Monday as well?I know this might sound silly to some people but I’m covering for payroll for the holidays and I don’t want to mess up!

Thoughts on RX Bar's brand? Personally, I thought it was novel at first as a way of getting the brand to stand out, but now I think it's revealed itself to be BS. Wld like to know what others think.

Are there any consulting firms with roles that require 20% travel or less?

Hi guys,

I got my full and final settlement today but I can see no tax deduction. Does anyone know the reason. 4k tax used to be deducted every month till now. I also got gratuity and leave encashment along

What's the worst execuse you've heard when you've told a patient they have an STI?

How much leave encashment is given in globant on relase

Looking for feedback, I'm updating my resume and I'm wondering at what point should I start removing past work experience. I've heard anything older than 10 years should go?

Currently a Wealth Advisor for Citi but I honestly hate it here with a passion it’s the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life and I’ve been in Wealth Management in the banking channel for over a decade. Series 7, Series 63, Life, CFP, ChFC, and soon to have my MBA with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions. I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

Hai there, Thanks for joining

Wow !! This is so frustrating !!
Got call from 13 HRs telling me about this amazing opportunity they have for me, but they immediately started to end the conversation as soon as they heard my notice period is 3 months !!
I mean their company policy is 3month NP as well, but they're acting like this 😅

Hi Guys,
It would be great if someone could help me with a referral at Citi or Barclays.

Thanks!

Damn I miss my life before the pandemics (the home office part can stay, though).

How are you all doing? Here's a thought to get some of us chatting again:

In an increasingly hybrid/remote working culture, how do you educate and convince your business stakeholders to not do info overloads with emails? The risk of people not being aware is there but sending separate emails for every sub-program, webinar is annoying (as a receipent) I understand employee perspective.

Hi,

Please help me in getting 11 likes to unlock dm.

I have an accounting degree and am looking for something where I spend most of my time using excel. Surprisingly, audit —at least at my company— doesn’t really do that. Any suggestions would be helpful.

I’m not sure if this is the right place to post, it’s my first time so please excuse me!

Does anyone have recommendations on a good coach for case practice? Looking to do maybe 2-3 sessions (I'm currently at intermediate level) and looking for someone that's not very pricey. Thanks!

Are ppl worried about being on the bench esp when there aren’t a lot of projects in the pipeline? New hire here about to be up for staffing for the first time and sentiment at my firm seems to be worried/fearful about being unstaffed. Is it actually worrisome to be on the bench in this environment or is this just a product of highly ambitious over achievers worrying about not being constantly utilized?

BCG versus McK for digital consulting? If we are looking broadly at the digital transformation space, then what are some of the strengths of each of firm as well as any glaring drawbacks?

Looking at Forrester, they are both leaders in the space, but it would be helpful to understand the perception of each.

McK 🐠 can you work in PEPI practice in any office? Anyone in PEPI in the Midwest offices willing to chat? I’m currently in a T2 firm PE practice.

Just took this BCG Quant Reasoning test and I think I messed it up. Some of the units are so confusing. Is nearest 000s of pounds 23000 or 23? They don’t partial mark it and the whole test was filled with this sort of thing. Oh well

Graduating senior. Have choices between MBB and SWE at FAANG. Not sure what to do. Long term I’d love to be in a small startup or a leader in a tech company. Not sure which path is better for that. Any thoughts?

WLB Spain/Italy. What are the normal hours for these offices? Thanks

For fish in Europe, BCG Principal or Bain Associate Partner ?

Have McK phone case coming up, has anyone had feedback on why you haven’t passed? Looking to avoid missteps.

Is DC a competitive office to get into for McKinsey?

Got a referral to BCG and still haven’t had anybody follow up to screen or interview me. It’s been two weeks now. Lol do I give up all hope? How long does this usually take?

Are Bain, BCG, or McKinsey hiring at junior levels for their NY offices?

Are all cases at McK the same? Or is McK RTS / Transformation group likely to give you a different case??

Is it easier to go from McK to BCG or Deloitte to BCG? If one is easier, how much easier? And do BCG recruiters ever poach from McK or is that a big no-no?

What buckets would you generally use for cases?

Do y’all have a separate work phone?

Hot take: I like our decentralized staffing model because I can work in any industry and it creates less of a “class divide” between offices

Waiting for BCG R1 results…. 😕
