Is vaccine discrimination lurking at Kearney MEA?

The company said that it won't be mandating vaccines. But a recent email from HR asked for every employee's vaccination status.

Should unvaccinated consultants fear discrimination (can't travel, won't be staffed, will have low utilization, will be at risk)?

Honest question for an open debate

Is anyone spending an abundant amount of time evaluating and tracking quarantine cases, attending internal Covid updates and other tasks associated with Covid at work ?

Hired as SA1. if my utilization is low for round table but I’ve gotten good Snapshots will I go up to SA2 or SA1B, which I don’t want of course.

Hi fishes,
Need your thoughts.
I am done with my client interview and it went well but they are asking me to come to gugaon location.
I am from Bangalore location.
I directly said to client that I can't since I have my family here.
When I inform this to my manager he is saying how come u say like this to client.according to kpmg policy u need to travel to anywhere to work.
This is not good right. What should be my reply to the client in such a case and how to handle manager on this?

My colleague is sick and won’t go home!!! They said they have a upper respiratory infection and threw up this morning! I am in a conference room until they leave. This is so wrong!

Starting IVF in a month - any guidance in prep for it, things that may help increase success for egg retrieval or anything like that? I started taking supplements advised by my doctor, but curious to hear of anything else! Thank you SO much!

“You know, women, they like yoga.” 🤭🤯 Thank you. I had no idea.

Any one anyone who got their over bite corrected in their late 20s or early 30s? Any good / affordable orthodontist in the DC area? Looking for recommendations

MBA admit here and have to put down a deposit soon, having serious cold feet right now due to the covid situation and potentially having to start virtually. Would love any perspective on how it's been particularly socially and what your schools' outlook on the fall is

Having a moment and wanted to make a post. I lost a special family member suddenly in April 2020. And then another July 2020. And then the most influential person in my life in February 2021. And then another big loss in April 2022. I’m still grieving. Every single day. Some days are better than others. I’ve had heightened anxiety and depression with it. My heart hurts all of the time. I miss them all so much. Some days just seem to be better than others.

I was recently (in April) fired from a good nursing position that I was at for 5 years. I reached out to my old ADON to get some information on where we had our vaccinations from and she told me that I should come back and the administrator that I had issues with is gone. Is this something I should even consider? I miss my patients and some of my coworkers and the pay is better, but I don't feel like I would really be welcome to come back.

When it comes to therapy do I look up a place online and make an appointment or do I need some sort of referral? Not sure if I need to see a therapist or physiatrist really.

Any stylist still wear a mask while doing ladies’ haircut? I do not intend to start a debate around masks. I respect everyone’s choice, but I do want to go to one that makes the same choice as I do. Pregnant lady here, would rather be over careful. Thanks!

Anyone looking to get in at BDO?
Separately, anyone in the southwest or looking to get to the southwest?

Did you know that forced pregnancy is recognized under the Geneva Convention as a crime against humanity and a war crime? Perhaps our companies can openly take a side on the current abortion issue since it impacts many of us and our work lives. What do you think? Civil responses only please.

Apart from offer do we have any other additional benefits in ibm like leave encashment, travel or internet allowance, food card allowance etc.
I also see sign on bonus of 1lk, could you please let me know when and how it will be paid considering working for 1year plus ?
What is the % we can expect for yearly performance bonus which is not part of package and how is it calculated and when it will normally be credited ?

How can one overcome anxiety when presenting?

I'm looking for new ideas on winter cardio. This season is already getting colder than other years. I usually do outdoor jogs.

Anybody done a dry January before? Not concerned about being able to do it, more just curious what people’s experiences were, the benefits they saw, etc.

Can we start a thread for all the acronyms? Y’all lose me with all the lingo 😂

Hi,
There was a post sometime back which compiled a list of all companies by country who hire directly from India. Could anyone please share a link to that post if you have it saved? Thank you!

What do you do with a class that exhibits poor behavior with anything other than quick paced, teacher led instruction? I want to dig into inquiry but they misbehave if I don’t catch them back quickly

Which role is safer during a recession? TAS or VAL?

My brother recently graduated high school and wants to work for a year or two before he starts his undergrad. What sort of jobs should he be looking for that could help his resume in the future? He eventually wants to pursue engineering

I am getting ready to send my 2 year old toddler to a toddler program next week for the first time. Have to fill out a form “bathroom waiver”, which is basically allowing teachers at the school to clean my child after a potty, including genital area. I feel uneasy about this but I know I have to let them… I assume all parents have signed such waiver?

Thoughts on below upcoming IPOs?
1) Clear Secure
2) Krispy Kreme

Hi fishes,
I was wondering if I put down my resignation now. And in case after a few weeks I decide to stay back, can I withdraw my resignation?

We were not trying to conceive. And I was drinking alcohol like twice a week.
Now I missed my period and pregnant. I am panicking a lot, not sure if I want a baby right now. Definitely i cant deal with pregnancy constantly knowing how much u drinking could have affected the fetus and if i could ever endure the consequences it would bring upon the baby
Help me understand if my baby will be fine or not.

Hi Fishes,

Please help me with open hearts for DM services.

Joined at 502 in JPMC in mid July (in Operational Risk). 6 YOE (4 in audit, 2 in BPO). Haven't really started working in the true sense yet. Objective setting discussion just began for this year. Wondering what to expect from performance appraisal considering these facts in terms of hike and bonus. LOB - Corporate.

If I am having 15.30 Lpa offer@LTI, how much I will get in hand salary.

Does LTI not send welcome goodies to all employees ? I just got laptop, charger and bag😐

Does LTI change joining date , my issue is my notice period is 30 days remaining but due to some dependency it may be extended 10 to 15 days. What can I do in this situation ?

Any idea when is the noida office starting to function?

Which one is better ?

Sabre India -19.43 LPA (Product based)
17.5 LPA fixed
2L variable

LTI (18.5LPA)
16L fixed
1.5L Variable
1L JB

YOE -6 years
Tech Stack -Selenium, Java, Test NG , Cucumber, Jenkins,Git,API Testing

Anybody selected at an architect level in LTIindtree/LNT Infotech ?

Any recommendations for resume templates?

Imagine if consultants had to go through polygraph tests in commercial accounts, what would happen

How do I become an MBB employee? Is it possible to gain experience at big 4+ACN and then get referred in??

Anyone been to the Harvard Extension School - Consultant’s Toolkit program? Any insights to share?

Has there ever been a consultant’s union? Would you consider joining if one existed?

Suggestions for home office chairs? Back is killing me; I can’t take the dining table chair anymore

Best books on leadership and sales skills?

Hi, everyone. Does anyone know where I could find information regarding the opening year of major consulting firms' offices?
I'm thinking MBB, big 4, boutiques...

Thank you!

Best consulting firms for work-life balance? I know consulting is chaotic in nature, but just curious to see which ones are the best in dealing with this?

Definitely not a fan of Westin's "Eat Well" proposition. I'm working in the room at 2:00 AM and the most appetizing menu item is a cold turkey avocado and arugula wrap. I just want a burger and fries!

What can I do outside the office to boost my resume and be a substantially more attractive candidate for top consulting firms in ~12 months time. Working in disputes and valuation role but want to go into management consulting next year (post MBA role). I feel like my job isn’t enough because skills aren’t considered as transferable outside this field.

How was your first year experience in your consulting firm?

Has PwC paid out this month's expenses yet? Amex isn't pleased..

I feel like I’m burning out and really need a vacation. I was thinking of taking 2 weeks at end of August/beginning of sept (aka taking advantage of Labor Day) to go to Asia... I just rolled cont...

Do we still need suits?

Gained that covid weight - now trying to figure out if thats still a thing and I may need to get a new one. I mean it is kind of weird sitting in a home office/spare bedroom on zoom or w.e. in a full suit and tie to me.. What do yall 🐟 think?

So this might be a better place to post this and ask this question: Uncle D has announced explicitly that most people won’t get a pay raise & bonus this year except for those promoted and high performers. Amid this crisis, are companies including other big 3, MBB, FAANG, boutique consulting firms still giving high raises and issue stocks? Can you share the impact from your firm?

Flights cancelled and delayed; spent the whole day in the airport/flying. How do I charge my time?

Considering trying to become an fbi special agent. If I make it, it’ll be a huge paycut starting around 75k. Worth it for the potential to work on really cool stuff?
