It's hard enough to get on a strategy role as a strategy analyst as it is

like

Don't move to strategy. You might be on the chopping block soon

Yes, it's possible. But there are also strategy analysts vying for those roles. If that's what you're interested in, make sure your CC knows and is helping you build the right skills so you can get staffed in strategy. Once you're on a project, if you do well, you should be able to get a sponsor to move over officially

As a strategy manager - told only to staff strategy resources - cross utilization is frowned upon especially with new projects

Be careful. Performance achievement tied to working in your practice.

I don't think that's entirely true here, ACN5. I have a friend in my market, who's only worked in another for 2 years and has consist let achieved high tiers. It depends if your Relationship Partner does his due diligence on your work, or not.

Yeah, they're making it trickier to get staffed across operating groups, but if you follow A1's advice you can pull it off

It is possible. I am MC but I've worked only Strategy projects the last 1.5 years. Find yourself on one, and then the rest will talk.

Not right now. Strat bench is deeeeep.

PWC1 how'd you manage that? I'm interested in doing the same

More unique to my group, than firmwide. Booz & Co did not have a strong presence in my market, so instead of legacy Booz Partners coming in and trying to build a strategy practice, they moved a bunch of MC Partners over as S& Partners, as well as some staff. Because of that, the Partners aren't following the standard stricter protocol of Strategy staff to Strategy projects, and instead staffing by skills and network. Our Demand Manager for MC and the new S& DM also work very closely to one another, so we get insights into all the work in the pipeline.

Ahh ok makes sense

It's a new Accenture performance system, pwc1. Just talking Accenture here. And just started this year.

Any tips? Dealing with resourcing issues for one of our largest clients. We have enough hours, just waiting for more experienced team members to be hired to complete it. We’ve reprioritized work so many times to get what we can done with the team we have, but still have important items waiting to be completed with more Sr. Folks. We’ve also borrowed from other teams, but it doesn’t cover up the fact we could be getting the work done faster with the right team. Advice for dealing with the client?

Hi fishes ,

I have interview scheduled with natwest for java springboot migration project. May i know what type of questions we can expect.

Telco PMs, how do you call that type of project in which you manage the End-To-End deployment? I mean from planning the electric connections for a servers rack, engineering the network, the cabling and devices installation, setting up the link (and everything in between)?

English is not my first language and I'm having trouble coming up with what we call "Llave en Mano" in Spanish... or is it just End-To-End? My mind is fried and is only Wednesday.

Thanks!

Serious billing question - if during the course of the day, you first receive an email from Client A at say 11:10am and you read it, you then respond to it at 12:20pm. You get another email at 2pm from Client A and respond immediately. The next email comes in at 4pm, you read it and respond only at 4:30pm. None of the email responses take more than 3-5mins. You are working on matters for other clients at all other times during the day. How much are you billing for Client A?

I want to take more brainstorming, decision making responsibilities but I don’t see that in the career path for PM. Career path usually goes like this- Sr PM, Director l, Sr Director, and so on. But all do same work.
