Just saw an awesome video how going-to-the-sun-road was built in Montana under extreme conditions about hundred years ago. Feels like America was super innovative and led marvels of engineering in the 1900s but going downhill as a time progresses in terms of innovation and building basic as things as bridge in baltimore. Maybe military and free aid to israel are focus in 21st century for the US

What are the things which can help us once we join SAP?

I assume there are many lateral hires here in this bowl. Could you help with a few pointers which could be helpful in the initial few days in the firm?

When it comes time for me to write my dissertation, the only way I can actually write it is if someone buys me a grant so that I can afford to make the time to write it!

Any experienced consultants got promoted after 1 year in?

Been on the bench for 5 weeks, and getting antsy. Have reached out to network, RM, random managers, but still no project. How else can I approach this? SC here

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

Can someone please explain to me what imposter syndrome is? Apparently I should have it because I’m not white (according to all of the posts I see on LinkedIn about it).

Tmrw is my joining date with optum when will I receive joining formalities and onboarding procedure

Anyone try Nectar mattress? Also any promo codes?

Hello fishes,

How do you engage your team in this pandemic time. Pls share your ideas.

Thanks 😊

Sr Business Support Admin needed for our firm in Denver. Good WLB / hybrid work offered. DM me for a possible referral 👍

What are some of your strategies to help push out “what your company has been up to”? Utilizing platforms such as LinkedIn, IG, company websites are covered! How else do you prefer to promote company events?

I am in the process of finding administrative assistant interns from our local universities. In an effort to make my job opportunity appealing, I am asking everyone in this bowl about an appropriate job title. Is "Administrative Assistant" outdated or unappealing? I certainly don't want to mislead anyone on the job responsibilities, but I do want to avoid any potential negative stereotypes attached to that job title. Are there alternative titles that you find more appropriate for 2022?

Are there such things as "homemade watch making kits"? I ave a buddy who is meticulous and showing him and telling him about my very limited knowledge of watches, he was intrigued.

Hi Fishes,

I am looking for a referral at Amazon for a position of program manager 2 , preferably from a senior to me. I would be really grateful if anyone refer me to the opportunity.


Thanks!

A peek of chest hair in the office or no?

Starting to get a persistent eye twitch. Hasn’t gone away for months. Advice?

Has anyone here been fired from (or counseled out of) a consulting role? Do you feel that it was justified? What did you do to bounce back?

Industry imposter here…How do you show progression on your resume when your internal levels changed, but the title doesn’t indicate a promotion to the rest of the workforce. (e.g. a senior product manger to a technology strategist)…It seems like a lateral move unless you were internal and knew it was a level 7 to level 8.

Truly, what is the difference between strat and MC and why is one considered better?

If PwC Advisory is spun out into a separate business, what happens? Will it be sold?

Feel so stupid most of the time on the meetings. That I stop paying attention and think about how stupid I am. 😓 which doesn't make it any better? Any techniques to make myself think faster/focused?

A reminder to all: we are going through very difficult times. Please help someone who has gotten laid off if you can!

I need to take a leave of absence for mental health purposes. How do I bring this up with my boss? Or do I talk to HR directly? I took some time off this month due to burnout but I did not tell them that was the reason. I thought I'd be okay when I got back, but I'm not. I don't know if they will give me the leave of absence. How should I go about this?

Any other consultants with a substance abuse problem (regardless of whether it extends into the workplace or not)? Just looking to talk anonymously. No, weed, coffee, cigarettes etc. don’t count

Today is a fallacy. No traffic to the airport, but got NY's most cautious uber driver. A short security line, but it's filled with a holiday crowd with no idea how to unpack and pack for TSA.

Do you leave immediately if you put in resignation and you’re not on a project?
