I’m not sure what folks are smoking here, perhaps I need some of that, but 15-20% growth in large professional service firms in today’s environment is nothing short of incredible no matter the practice.

Now you’re just being annoying. You’ve gotten some great answers — take the time to digest them rather than ask half a dozen follow-ups

These are all silly answers. Anything above 10% in this environment is great.

All B4s publish “global revenue”. For FY25, none were more than 5% overall. Last time any were double digit was FY22 which might as well be forever ago at this point.

There’s way more context needed than just the one stat here. At face value it’s good, but why was it 20%? What was it previous periods? Is the market for that growth shrinking or growing? Is it tied to raising rates or new business? Really hard to say but those can inform your decision

didn't pass the loop for an L7 role earlier this month, and i found a good suitable l6 role. One of the interviewers added me on linkedin a few weeks back- is it inappropriate if i reach out to him to say thanks and ask him to put in a word for me with hiring manager for the l6 role?
i don't know y i was not selected, and i think its still worth it to reach out. 1 because i think i did well in the interviews and 2 its saves both of us time - to know if i should pursue further or not. Thoughts?
