It threw me off at first too, but then I realized there's Staff titles at other organizations, like Staff Reporter. It's also pretty clean. If you're in Audit, you're a Staff Auditor, then Senior Auditor. If you're in Tax, you're a Staff Accountant, then Senior Accountant. Same with Consulting.

This - staff, senior, manager, senior manager, ppmd

In person is often worse. Why add travel if it will be boring either way? I honestly realize that working in business in general is just mundane.

Traveling on boring projects can be a blast. Had some serious fun working on an easy project for a year and made some of my best friends

Hi colleague! I feel you on this. One possibility is to set up 30-minute networking calls with people you don’t know yet. I’m doing this even at the manager level. Look on Discover or use LinkedIn to find EY people who have anything in common with you (school, volunteer work, current city, former city, professional networks) and set up 30 minutes to pick their brain on their greatest learning at the firm. Maybe it was a project, a group they contribute to, maybe they can help get you on proposals (I learn that way) or maybe they know about corners of EY you don’t know yet. For example, last week I learned we have a mindfulness practice, a program to recruit former Olympic athletes, and a cross-cultural community of practice. Networking randomly like this has helped me make up for the learning gap I am feeling as well. Best to you! Drop your name here if you want me to reach out directly.

I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent.
