Any must haves for consultants?

I laugh during awkward situations. The other day someone called me out on laughing. It was awkward.

Have you ever seen a client fired in mid-production?

I've seen quite a few people make jokes about being "aged out" of advertising. Could someone please explain what that looks like and when that typically happens? Forgive the dumb question, I'm a newbie to the industry so I'm a bit confused. Wouldn't agencies want people with more experience?

Please reach out if you need a referral at IBM

Hello Friends, I have 2 questions please help to clarify.

I am joining in CTS on September last week so when i will be considered for appraisal ?

And also for variable compensation I will get in this March right? For this we don't need to wait for a year I guess.

If I have an offer on Networking Control plane domain and Dataplane domain which one should I chose for better career prospects?

Dataplane job -> 3 Lakhs higher paying than Control plane job offer.

@Cisco, @Juniper, @Arista Networks.

Trying to come up with some project work for my University Sourcers to complete that will benefit my team. Their most recent ask was to generate a list of universities in each state that we source from within iCIMS. What other projects have you found to be beneficial to enhance recruiting efforts?

Hello, folks! I wonder if you have any advice/info for a person who is looking for an "investment associate" role in Dubai. I have a financial audit background (4 years Big-4), 1,5 year in deal advisory (half year financial due diligence department, 1 year valuation department). I have experience in TMT, retail, Energy and Utility and other industries. Currently I'm living in Eastern Europe.
What is considered to be normal in relation to WBL, compensations in Dubai for such role or similar?

How do you guys deal with just the really bad days? One small thing happens and it seems as if everything is terrible. I have bad anxiety and suck at compartmentalizing everything. Would love advice.

Hi ,

Can anyone suggest about fitment round .

The day you lost respect for your client...

Grown men should not be allowed to wear shorts other than while participating in athletic activities. Makes them look like overgrown boys.

Last night I was asked why I left PwC by PwC folks and I responded "because PwC is shit". 🤦🏾‍♀️ And that was before any alcohol touched my lips. Anyone else have awkward dinner convo stories?

Salary expectations for Big 4 strong performing Senior 1/2:
1) Exiting Big 4 to bank
2) Switching from Big 4 to Big 4
3) Exiting Big 4 to Strategy House (non-MBB)
4) Exiting Big 4 to MBB

Thoughts?

Do any of the top consulting firms hire into the Engagement Manager level after an M7 (if they had manager experience elsewhere)? I know MBB probably doesn’t but what about other tier 2 firms after that - and asking for US or Canada

Had a shitty Monday with southwest-Rescheduled my flight after not being able to print my boarding pass via app, customer care & airport self service 😪

Partners! roll call now go...

You know it's a slow week when the highlight is when your comment to a fishbowl post gets more upvotes than the initial post

To those voting for trump: aren't you afraid that his plan to "undo regulations" means a good number of us will be out of work if he wins?

Sunday is like the last glimpse of Venice prisoners used to have on the Bridge of Sighs before being taken down to their cells.

To those starting the year on the beach: office or home office ...or actual beach?

Does anyone else smoke sheesha regularly? I’ve got a nasty habit of doing this every weekend. Wondering if it’s bad for health

Does EY track browsing history on computers? I’m asking just to know if we use company devices for personal use such as gmail/YouTube/Netflix/online banking, would they know or care?

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!

Stupid question: do you get to alt-travel? Not fly home to your home office on the weekends, but use that budget to fly somewhere else?

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.

I wish I could get pregnant, so I can go on a maternity leave from public accounting

Which national parks should I visit next year? Looking for any and all recommendations!

I'm looking to improve my communication skills to navigate a very political environment better (i.e. I need to be more diplomatic). Any books recommendarions are appreciated 💁🏼‍♀️

How would you rank different levels in Consulting in terms of difficulty?
