Nobody cares about changing achieving your goals if you deliver on key business metrics (be in utilisation, selling credit, w/e)
lol no
Every firm has people set goals. What actually matters is whether managers pay attention to them.
Yep. Mostly it’s a box to check off unless they are being used to get rid of someone.

I have to do that even outside of consulting.
I think it’s a good practice tbh

I think that should be part of it, but I also think that your individual goals should be set with your manager/coach. Ideally tied to a company goal - what does the company want to achieve in X capacity, and what can I do to help with that? That’s what my goal is
Why would you not want to have goals? It’s the only way to ask for a raise or bonus etc. I get that those are not always honored , but without goals you won’t any benchmarks.
Companies without goals are probably planning bankruptcy

So like no goals, lets go with the flow?
In 11years at PwC, I wrote goals only the first year. The firm changed the annual review process the year I was hired (2014). I never write goals after that.
We are “encouraged” to set goals and review them with our coach/performance manager, and the expectation is that you track towards those goals to quantify your EOY review….but it’s not officially tracked or required.
I don’t think there’s a single job that doesn’t make you set goals unless it’s burger flipping
The smaller the company the less goals you will probably be expected to set with management or others. On the flip side you will be in a reactive state of mind if you don’t set your goals yourself. Smaller companies will probably already have you doing more than average large orgs out there. Less team and more just you and customers.
We are all packed and done followed all instructions thank you so much!

Setting goals is required at every company I’ve ever worked for.
