Just made the Jump to a big 4 from industry. Coming in at an MD level. I’ve been told to network with everyone... any recommendations on how to keep track of everyone I “meet” and key players I should get in front of? in normal times- you would meet people in person, have a meal, grab a drink.... now we are stuck on zoom ... any tips or tricks you would recommend? i’m thinking excel spreadsheet sheet with top line keywords? ugh

🎃 What remote teambuilding/social committee events has your office done since COVID?

Looking for ideas to replace the drinks or office goodies we normally give out (Halloween, Christmas, July 4, Valentines etc., plus random “fun stuff”) – we’ve done a few virtual happy hours but obviously everyone has had more than enough of Zoom at this stage! We’re all sticking within our immediate teams for informal catch ups - any ideas that involve the whole agency?

Any advice on how to switch from big 4 to tier 1 consulting firms like BCG and MCK?

BCG 🐠, How much salary I should ask for a consultant role? I am an experienced hire from big 4 with 6+ yrs exp.

Im a MBA holder and currently pursuing CISA. It's been awhile since I have started to have high interest in pursuing a career as IT auditor. Anybody here would like to refer me into any Big 4, very open for entry positions.

I just left a very toxic work place.
The crazy thing is they were just named the best local municipality to work for. It's upsetting. They advertise a "culture" but don'tapply it. It felt like a used car sales pitch, I was sold a dream but given junk. I am constantly replaying moments. I have read so many books and everything leads to they were the problem. How do I recover from this?

I told my boss about my ADHD in confidence because I was looking for a small accommodation (working from home x2 a week). I got it, but now I lowkey feel like she told other people in the office. I'm not sure if I'm being paranoid but someone I'm friendly with in HR has been acting weird since Monday, which is when I told my boss. Would she have to tell HR legally? What should I do?

This may sound odd, but I’m only 2 yrs into my career and have never given a 2 week notice. Got another gig that I’m taking (starts in 2 weeks). Need to give notice Monday AM. What do I say? How?

Happy Halloween! Who says Financial Professionals are not creative? Share what you dressed up as for work today?

Do we need follow any dress code when working from office?

Formal/Smart Casuals/Kuch bhi ??

I've been thinking about my career a lot lately. I feel like I've hit a wall, and I don't know how to get past it.

I've been at this job for almost 5 years now, and ever since the day I started, there have been problems with my coworkers. It's not just one person—it's everyone in my department, and they all seem to be working against each other instead of together. Should I leave?

Been asked to present my current client’s plan and PCA in second interview for a role. Am I being over cautious by not feeling comfortable with this?

There is a recruitment going on in KPMG for fresher. Need referral! Can someone please refer me for these various roles
Requisition ID:
190000CU - Analyst Finance & Accounting

Someone I’ve started seeing uses they/them pronouns. I’m trying my best but still feel like I make mistakes. When I want to address them is it ok to say how are you or should I say how are they?

Any thoughts on how do we deal with an incompetent boss who you dont look up to and have no trust that you would ever get credit for the work you would do for him/her? Given that changing the boss is not an option.

At some Big 4 companies there is a Partner / Principal group that has equity and are part owners of the business and an equivalent Managing Director group that does not have equity and are essentially employees.

How does it work at McKinsey / Bain ? Do those same distinctions exist across partner types, owner vs non owner?

Re naming names. Lots of people in media & publications are naming & shaming, and calling out workplace environments toxic for people of color.
