Industry hire here. 6 months in and still feel very isolated. I’ve been in a remote project since I joined. Thinking about going back to industry. Anyone dealt with similar challenges?

9 months in, industry hire. I am fortunate to work at a firm with almost suspiciously kind people who have gone above and beyond to include me in things and make me feel welcome, but I still have some growing pains. The ambiguity of consulting is something I still find difficult (you wouldn’t know that from my work), so I’ve had to get better at asking questions and asking for help when I need it.
The language and culture is still foreign to me — I feel like I’m on an alien planet when I hear people say “actionize” and “plus one to that” and “double click that” but when I don’t get something, I just ask a trusted colleague. Every time I’ve done that it’s been met with humor and an explanation, and never any judgment.
You got hired because you deserved it and the powers that be decided you’re a good match. I’ve spoken to managing directors who’ve told me it took YEARS for them to truly adjust after leaving industry. You’re not alone!

8 months in and can relate. I’ve done most of my work in person and still feel the same way. I am planning to re-evaluate whether I want to go back to industry once I hit the 1 year mark. Hope it gets better for you!

How are 1st year litigation associates dealing with WFH? I’ve been having terrible anxiety/panic attacks, and pretty sure my billables wont exceed 110 for April. I’ve been super stressed about it and don’t know how to move on to May with the proper mindset to make up for as much time missed as possible. CA courts are still closed, and I’m worried I won’t be able to exceed (or even meet) my May goal after April.

Companies like Deloitte, futurebridge, pwc, ey research, etc are offering good packages. Some are offering work from home and some are asking to relocate.

Please don't hesitate to relocate. Interviews are annoying but trust me be positive. Don't choose convenience over carrier. It's high time and grab as much you can. Situations are already worsening elsewhere. Grab as much as you can before the wave hits india.

Hope you get selected in the right one

Hi guys,

I switched 20 days back to Optum. I have 7 years of experience working as a full stack Engineer, who is passionate working on both front end and back end on latest technologies. But my project is working only on back end with 10 years old tech stack. There is no front end work at all. What should I do?
I don't like working here at all, but I am not sure whether moving out again in a month will give bad Impression on my resume. Hence please give me advice on this situation

Hello PwC AC Friends,

I have been on bench since I joined the firm 3 months ago. Now I have got project but still on bench. I have got mail regarding not raising snapshots because I was on bench so i didn't do anything except trainings and some learning. I don't have hours to raise snapshot for.

What shall I do in this case? I am very much worried that if i don't have any project hours to show, will they fire me or what actions are supposed to be taken ? Thanks.

I realized I've been a dummy for getting a job at a creative agency and not working on my portfolio. Most of the projects I've taken on, I've done so as a way to support others without taking much credit for it. Now, a better opportunity came along and I don't have anything to show for my talent as a designer. ALWAYS take credit for what you do, even if it's not your project to begin with.
