Anyone know any places hiring designers in PDX? 🙂

Heads up: Hilton is giving triple points during July if you use their credit card for booking. Good opportunity to make up to 54 points per $1. Time to stack up those points! Happy monday! :D

I’m doing some research on frequent travel for a new loyalty concept. Looking for newish analysts/consultants who would be willing to answer a dozen or so questions for a $10 Starbucks gift card.

Is anyone able to give me the Marriott Family or/and friends discount paper? 🤗

I have a third round interview this Thursday, but after I sent my availability, I booked a flight for work that is causing a problem. The interview ended up scheduled for 3:30-4:15, and I'm supposed to be on a 5pm flight out of LGA. Is there a reliably quiet place at LGA to do the interview (I don't have lounge access)? Would it be a bad idea to say my availability changed and I can't do that time slot anymore? Or should I cancel / rebook my flight to later at night?

IKON 🎿 🐠 - what do y’all make of the Ikon pass adventure assurance options? We’re not sure yet where we want to ski this season. Have you chosen “all destinations” or “one destination” - and why?

I am planning to move to San Jose and looking out for salary range offered to audit seniors. I am in the middle of my CPA and just need to pass one more paper. Also I have audit senior experience with EY as contractor for 5 months and 3 years of Audit Senior experience with a mid size audit firm based in houston. Since San Jose is overly priced, I would like to get an estimate that how much EY offers in that location.

Hello Londoners, any recommendations for an early-stage business/chain in plant-based food and beverages industry? Much thanks.

This post is an alert message for anyone joining the Johnson & Johnson EMEA account for SAP & had Rakesh Sharma for their Manager round.

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.

People at EY not use the corporate card? The expense system is horrible. But might not be worth using my Marriott card...

Which law firms still have a good Westlaw subscription and encourage associates to use it?

Just got my peloton today! Any tips or advice?

I interviewed with a top big law firm last week for a Senior Project Manager role. I felt fairly good and confident post the interviews. Sadly I was not given the offer. I remember the Director mentioned that I was over qualified for the position. I’m currently a Consultant… I’m guess I’m not sure how to take the “over qualified” response. Prior to the interviews, I felt I needed more experience …. Lol. Anyone else felt the same?

Someone talk to me about Isobar and/or IA Collaborative. 👍👎❓

A friend of mine from a top tier consulting firm was counseled out. Do you consider it ethical that his career counselor is intentially spreading the information to his colleagues and to other consultants from other companies in the project? What can he do about it? Specially that he considers the potential layoff is purely based on the current situation (chargeability was low) and not on his performance (they said that his contribution to BD during his bench time was low)?

Accenture is looking for qualified, experienced consultants and managers for our Strategy & Consulting practice across a variety of industries and functions. If you’re interested, shoot me a DM.

I am looking into buying a personal laptop. Something light, with lots of memory, that I can run a startup from. Suggestions?

When your flight is delayed 2 hours but Delta brings out pizza and snacks 🙃

STARTUP FOUNDERS and FAANG: would you rather hire MBB with 3-4 years of exp or Tier 2 with 5-6 years? If you could isolate those variables and everything else held constant.

I’m at a T2 with 2 YOE. Feels like you only have real client exposure here once you hit around 4-5 YOE (from undergrad). Is this true at MBB/other T2s?

Talk to me about burnout. I'm exhausted and unmotivated right now. What has helped you get back on track?

Best travel life hack... I’ll start:
Getting the 2 Queen bed room @ the Westin and making the green choice. 2 nights of sleeping in a freshly made bed + pointssss

Are there any books or classes about convincing people that have irrational arguments? Trying to figure out how to frame conversations that lead to my conclusions that aren't based in logic and fact.

Planning a babymoon with my wife. Shooting for April-May and looking at Hawaii (Maui or Big Island). Hoping with the vaccine and travel precautions, it'll be okay, but we're also prepared to cancel.

Any recommendations for hotels there that you've liked? I figure the Ritz or Four Seasons, but would love some opinions from those who have been.

Been working as a consultant for a few months and my motivation is struggling.

For those who persevered to a director level or higher, what was/is your guiding force? Your ‘why’?

What resources (online prep, books, case books, peers, mental math, etc) did you use when getting ready for case interviews? I’ve seen several online — Management Consulted, Hacking the Case Interview, MConsultingPrep, etc — and would appreciate any insights on what was helpful!

90% utilization, great snapshots BUT no relationships with the partners in my practice + currently on beach. Everyone I've worked with is shocked. Was told there were HC quotas. Not meritocratic.

This is the second Four Points I've stayed in that has "Never Gonna Give You Up" on the lobby music playlist #rickrolledagain

Where is the excel with the best Hilton discount corporate codes

Hilton head or Myrtle Beach for a family of four (2 kids). Is Hilton head worth the premium? We plan on staying there for a month and just wanna be close to a beach. Safety is important.

Discussion post: I feel almost all consulting firms are the same. Mbb, big 4 etc. if you are paid enough there is probably less wlb. If there is good wlb there is not much money. Can you single out a company that you can confidently say pays very well and also has good wlb and also has good opportunities etc.?

Honest question: how many hours do you work a week, what type of consulting do you do, and what is your position? Thinking of switching from big 4 consulting to MBB but seeking this feedback.
