I’m switching over to consulting in June and I’m already assigned to a new project for the firm. I have a meeting with the Engagement manager on Wednesday and I was wondering what questions you typically ask or important information you need to know before joining a project.

I am a sixth-year associate overseeing a second year. They are an exceptionally good associate. I am honestly shocked at the work product I receive and the way they go above and beyond. The issue I have is that they sometimes take awhile to turn things around. For example, I ask for a draft response to the client, and they take three-four days. I know they’re busy, but I would like to address this in a positive way. Any suggestions?

Hii
How is dbs project in ibm in term of wlb, carrier growth etc.

Anybody else have a desire to bill more hours on a project than you actually work when the project itself is incredibly frustrating? In agency and/or freelance? Because let’s be real, 1 hour of standard work does NOT equal 1 hour of work when someone makes your job incredibly difficult.

I am a Client Executive with 7 years in the industry and 5 years of HR experience prior to that. I make 60k, am I underpaid?

I will resign in coming few days. I want my notice period to be reduced from 60 day to say 30days. I am not occupied in client project currently. My question is to whom should I talk to get my notice period reduced? What is the process?

How long does is usually take to get staffed on the first project? Joined 11/15 and still no project... Fyi, I am in the commercial side. Should I be worried? Ive contacted my RM couple times and am reaching out to my network 😢

I am a Basis Consultant, but finding interest in project management profile i have experience of 11 years in IT. Need Guidance/ help to proceed further

Hello all, for those working in an agency. I wanted to see what your typical client workload is? I’ve been in my role for about a year but the workload has changed dramatically without hiring help.

Can you please share:
- the number of accounts you manage
- how many support staff you have on those accounts
- how many active pitches you send per month for those clients on average

Thanks all!

What do you think will happen to the consulting business after project Everest ( the split of audit and consulting business)

Hi everyone,

I’m in a pit of a pickle…I’m leading my very first project (case study) with a team of 5. We’re all in different countries and different time zones 😬

What do I need to include on the project plan/roadmap so there’s a clear understanding of what our goals are? How do I get everything to align for success and how do I keep everyone motivated?

Am an Engineer I currently with 2 YOE
after graduate from two different jobs.
Currently getting Master of Science in
Project Management and looking to
get the PM certificate after
graduation. Any advice/suggestions
on what kind of jobs will most likely fit
me? I wanted to get this Master mainly
for career advancement and hopefully
get into some sort of manager/
director roles eventually. Getting this
master also because I have no prior
related experience so this can be
good start for PM roles.

My firm’s IT (especially system saving and file locating function) is so bad 😐😞 and they keep doing updates no one asked them for just to mess with the stuff we already got a hang of without doing anything about the issues we actually need fixed. Anyone else in a similar boat? Do you bill the client for the time it takes to fix the IT issue (or IT inefficiency generally, like time taken to find a file in a convoluted system)? Or is that supposed to be our non-billable time?

Hi Fishes,

I recently joined Amazon (<30 days) and I’m starting to realize I’m not very happy or energized by the work I’m doing. I want to give it a chance and stick with the team for about 6 months to a year but if nothing changes, how soon could I look for a new team within Amazon?

5th September is my last working day at Infosys. Yoe=4+ yrs

I hold an offer of 18LPA from KPMG with joining date of 7th September. (Wfh)
I applied at Workday on 15th May and went through 7 technical rounds of interview and received a verbal offer letter of 21LPA (hybrid)
Now apparently their technical panel "forgot" about the interview and wants to have a discussion again as 8th technical interview. HR says their joining date will be 19th September.

Should i join KPMG?

Anyone here belong to the NYAC? Thinking of joining what are fees like for monthly dues? Do you like it?

Where’s the best place to live if you’re looking to secure an entry-level position working in PE? Don't have a family, really kind of willing to try anywhere at this point.

I had 21 as fixed and 3 variable. Good salary for my experience. But then came covid and now I'm at 48 fixed salary.
Thanks to covid I was able to achieve this salary at just 7 yoe. When I joined the industry my manager at 10+ experience was earning 10-12 lakhs.
Things have changed so much after covid
I'm data and ML engineer

Hi Guys,

Please help me with relevant interview questions for bizops engineer in master Card

Has anyone else felt like they were blindly drinking the “kool aid” about their PG/firm’s culture? As a 5th year associate who has only ever worked in one firm and has no point of reference for different “cultures”, I sometimes wonder if I’ve been brainwashed.

Just gamed with some guys (freshmen and sophmore). I am almost 30 and they remind me of those old days. Miss those fun and young friendships. All my friends married and have kids now.
