A friend is considering deferring an offer (stem PhD) for 1 year straight out of undergrad to work in NY, either in a research institution or a biotech. She does not have any real work experience outside of her lab (3 years) and an adjacent internship. Another factor is she is just generally feeling burnt out on school after the last few years.
To what extent did you find that a year or two of work impacts prospects coming out of PhD? How might a year off from school impact her PhD work itself?

What would you folks say is the best and most achievable route to take for true Program Manager (minimal tech exp) with Sec+, picking up CISSP, and wanting to get more into the technology? Thoughts?

Should I specialize in Blockchain or AI? I’m a freshman in a CS degree and I can’t decide. My main argument to choose blockchain is the easy entry with little experience and high salary, I plan on growing my skills during the bear market and get a job once the market recovers. Regarding AI, I find this field fascinating but I feel like it requires a lot of experience, degrees and diplomas.

How does your firm measure utilization? I work for a small boutique that defines it as utilization = number of billable hours/2,080 and full bonus payout occurs at 80% plus.

Lot of previous posts here have been deleted, if you guys know what I mean

Does anyone know if things like jury duty or bereavement leave count against your utilization? I've heard it doesn't count the same way holidays and PTO do, but not sure how that is possible.

McKinsey fishes: I’m now in final round of interviews. Realized I don’t know anything about the benefits package. What are the key things you like about benefits, e.g. the free health plans?

I don't see many MBB consultants here. They probably think we are peasants.

Last week, a partner asked for nitty gritty details on some analysis. I warned him it may be TOO much detail but reluctantly obliged, only to be told today in feedback that I'm "too in the weeds." WTF

Inspired by one of my kids' favorite books, I penned this masterpiece of an Ode to Consulting:

One senior partner all alone
Calls two managing directors on the phone
Three associate partners at the door
Bring along another four
Five senior managers come overdressed
Six managers show up with a guest
Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
Eight associates sneak in the back
Nine analysts come to work
ALL THE CONSULTANTS GO BERSERK!!!

Ok, I'll show myself out now... 😂

Do any consultants here use SQL frequently? If so, how did you learn it?

Fishbowl Files (Accounts Hacked).... Anyone scared that someone pulls a Panama Papers on here and ties post to consultants?

I used to have açaí bowls for breakfast while traveling because of per diem. Now that I’m bracing to be WFH for the long run, I want to start making nicer breakfasts to make me happier. Where are the best places to get açaí? Not the powder, the frozen packets

Do consultants get fired from a client for moving furniture around? (like a stand alone monitor) from an unused room he was given to sit, supposedly reserved for auditors. Asking for a friend 🙃
