I’m an ambivert starting out in consulting. I hate small talk and find happy hours typically less than engaging. I become enervated with too much loudness. Any tips for navigating consulting?

This administration is utterly unprepared for this outbreak despite what Trump says. My friends in the hospitals say there are tests. Encouraged to self quarantine. Now this.

I'm serving notice period in TCS and my last day is in 2 weeks. I requested for pickup of laptop in the portal but I came to know that it will take time for pickup and I won't be available if they come late. So I decided to go to office and surrender the laptop as I'm in the location of office only. Is there a seperate request to be raised for surrender of laptop and how to cancel the existing request for pickup. Please guide.Tata Consultancy

Sometimes I struggle with the balance between “pushing myself out of comfort zone” and “being comfortable with who I am”. Anyone feel the same way?

When I get mild anxiety during a conversation I press my thumb agains one of my other fingers and it helps me relax a bit. Does anybody else do this? 😭

What’s your interpretation of this? Kinda reminds me of introverts in consulting but I think there are probably half orange and half garlic 😂

Anyone else frustrated with how people conflate introversion with social anxiety? I’m introverted but not socially anxious. And I know plenty of socially anxious extroverts.

Never thought I’d say this, but virtual happy hours are WAY worse than hanging out with your team in a bar. At least in person you can circulate.

I get really giggly when I’m nervous, and laugh at basically everything anyone says. It makes me appear quite immature in front of client & coworkers... Any tips on how to calm my nerves?

Well, this is clearly going against the spirit of this bowl! This bowl exists for people who are pro at being comfortable in it without talking to anyone and still liking them all.

Hey Deloitters (or those familiar)- what do you make of the Business Chemistry frameworks around introversion? (i.e. Drivers and Integrators have differentiated types but not Pioneers or Guardians?)

Is it a bad to tell new case team members you’re a little more introverted? We do these team normings in the beginning of projects and I’ve mentioned that I’m more introverted to help them understand how to collaborate better with me. I feel like it helps especially during remote work. However, I’m debating if I should stop because people might judge me negatively. Thoughts?
