Interviewed with Strategy& some time back. 2 out of the 3 in person interviewers were on their phones during 20-30% of the interview. Curious to know how to react to this as I am in the market again?

That's so rude and I've never seen that before. Maybe not the company you want to work for?

I've never seen that and I've interviewed both for internship (didn't get it) and full time

There is nothing you can do about what interviewers do so just do the best you can. I wouldn't apply to Strategy& these days. Everyone around me is trying to quit and go to other consulting firms. We definitely lost our swagger from the Booz days.

Weren't they being bought out then? Maybe they were trying to save their asses in those phones calls lol

I got a contacted by a recruiter for "other Booz" yesterday, so not worth responding?

Yes, do not board the sinking ship

We do get paid well though. That's the only good part.

Last week I had an interview with Infosys, it didn't go well as per my expectations but i was able to answer most of the questions asked by the panel and they said I will get the feedback from HR team but it's been more than one week and I didn't get any update on this. Yesterday I also wrote an email to the HR who scheduled the interview but still no update.

Should I consider that I am not being selected?

Hi all,
Need some advice.
I got the highest offer from LnT worth 17, but I can try for some more comapnies and get higher offers.
But ,I also want to retain in capgemini if they match the package.
Should I stop interviews & approach my manager or should I wait for him to call me again ? He had already called once saying he would match the package.
Am I being too greedy if I ask for 18/19 to retain?Or should I just ask for 17 so that repport between me and my manager remains intact?

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .

Hey fishies, I have a friend who is interested in becoming a consultant but he’s taken an interesting path, would love your advice on any good angles he could take for applying/ types of roles. He has a bachelors in science (chemistry maybe?) from H/Y/P and after undergrad he took a less traditional route and was working as an instructor for things like tennis, piano, snowboarding, etc.. He’s a really smart, personable person who I think would be great in consulting. (Continued)
