Take it with grain if salt since I am going off 3rd person perspective. Training usually requires travel. You go through mostly the same training as the East of CT staff with some PL specific sessions. Main meat if your onboarding comes from shadowing a higher up (principal/Partner) for 12 weeks as a PL; they guide you to coordinating projects.

Note this is a recent change where we used to require folks to spend their 6 months as a consultant, even though they were hired as a PL. This did not go well, lol. So, now you just do PL shadowing.

Depends on your office and the size of your start class - if a smaller office with only a few people in your cohort they may have you collocate in a bigger office nearby

Got it makes sense. So it isn’t like everyone on the same start date goes to one place but rather dependent on home city and other nearby locations

Comp?

Any SAP analytics cloud developer here? Quick query, client wants a column root causes ..now this column is not available in S/4..now the S/4 team is not cooperative enough.

My leads suggested SAC has comments option. However comments are not going to help users either. Because it will not show graphically which root causes contribute the most.

So my question is now, does SAC have an in built excel option which would allow users to enter root causes across materials and then SAC refresh this

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
