Looking for advice: what are other ways to say "let's take a step back" or other consulting speak (e.g. align, over rotate, circle back)? Client gets rubbed the wrong way with this jargon and has called out a few team members already. Googled for synonyms but it all still seems consulting speak. appreciate any thoughts.

A quick check. How many of you got the project after joining in coforge? If you got the project is it same client which was promised while interview process? Please respond.

Any book recommendations for soft skills at an agency/studio? For stuff like giving feedback, meetings, presentations, client interaction, etc.

I’m new to the firm. My third project my manager was very hands off. He’s wants to have a discussion with me about my performance. He did not give me any support to work with; even when I asked! And my direct manager agrees with him, but it was my third week. What to do? I feel like I’m going to say something crazy. Any advice?

Client's project manager has death in family--a grandparent. EY proj magr makes each team member donate $20 personally for a "gracious act" gift basket from EY. I think this is BS!

With client confidentiality... how do conversations with spouses go? How do the MBB firms think about spouses knowing about the work and the clients as I know even client list are considered secret?

Any "Directors of Marketing" or Advertising here? Are CD/CW skills translatable to that title? Would love to jump to client side but not sure if my skills translate? Maybe Director of Campaigns? 🤞🏼

Going to listen to “The Man” as my prep song for big client meetings 💃🏻

When they introduce your role on the project as 'he does everything, he is the glue that holds the project together' they really mean 'he does all the bitch work we don't want to do'

Looking at the rents, planning to buy an apartment which A-khata SBI approved loan. Many people told that if SBI is giving loan means the project is litigation free? Is it true, what other checks I have to see while buying an apartment in BLR Whitefield

Nearly for 5 years in Non-IT: I have performed well

2 months in IT: Struggling to swim in this IT service Ocean, especially feeling it difficult due to personal pressures. I feel dumb, passively procrastinating due to the lack of clarity over tasks. Manager/colleagues pose as cooperative yet demanding at the same time.

I've been complaining a lot, had a word with RM at TechM, and my managers at client side. Hinted that I'm struggling to cope up. I feel very sceptical about my future.Need help

Hi Fishes ,
I had a HR Discussion after clearing 2 HCL rounds and 2 client interviews . HR is not considering moving above 40% hike no matter whatever I say to justify, the Discussion was like talking to a wall . Any suggestions to get another 10-15% more (first offer)? Will HR reject me stating this reason in HCL ?? FYI- Client and the project team wants to take him in as per their feedback to me and I feel i am the right person for the role too .. 9 years exp -Infra domain .

Hi Fishes,

I appeared for the PDM on 26th May but still haven't received an offer from IBM. When I talk to HR she says background verification is completed but some sort of approval is required from client. When I ask about expected date then she says it is handled by other team and can't comment. Does this mean I will not get the offer?

I just broke up with someone via text during a client meeting.

I’m working in compliance but would like to make a move to a law firm. I’ve connected with a partner at a law firm, but he more than likely sees me as a potential client, not a candidate. We haven’t met for that “drink” yet, and don’t want to bring things to a screeching halt before we even get to speaking. Any suggestions?

Working on a busy project with a first year and it’s their first big project since starting big law. I’m also a junior, but not a first year. I am kind of shocked at how inefficient the first year is. They’re just barely getting the work done and I assume that’s all you can ask for. But because of that, more and more keeps getting added to my plate. Trying to be compassionate, but it seems like they don’t really care they’re not doing a great job - they log off early, don’t always turn in work.

How to get release from an important project?

Tips for managing an overstepping translator? Behaviors include insisting to file prematurely and answering on behalf of the client without asking the question to the client.

Any good books or suggestions to improve communication skills to speak confidently with executive or leadership. Many times I end up blabbering and having unstructured discussion.

Does anyone lie about their age to their client? I'm 26, and have meetings with some older client sometimes and the question of age sometimes comes up - I feel like my age loses me cred.

Question on type of prenatal vitamins used to prepare for IVF - which over the counter prenatal do you use? Do you think it’s worth ordering more expensive ones like theralogix?

I think we’re seeing all these posts because LinkedIn “training” is telling people that they should post 3 types of content rotating.

1. Something about your company/product
2. Something about the broader industry you’re in
3. Something personal to you that is still somehow related to your job/industry

I’ve never posted the third type but I’m not a LinkedIn “influencer”

I mostly feel out of touch with posters on this here 🐟🍚 thingy. But I was partly encouraged by posts here by ppl in a similar situation. So I started seeing a therapist. Thanks folks! 🙏🏽

1 year out of consulting. All good, nice and fun work, just that stocks are gutted so dream of making some good buck still remains a far dream.

I’m interested real estate investing (buying my first house this year) and would like to learn more. Does anyone have book recommendations? I can’t decide between flipping or rental income properties but also need to just learn about the whole home buying process.

Always been on the fence about this… I have a Master of Healthcare Administration (MHA) — should I include the “MHA” in my name (e.g., John Smith, MHA) for my email signature, LinkedIn name, resume, etc, similar to “MBA”, “JD”, or “MD”?

What are the top consulting firms that are known to allow full-time remote work?

Been traveling again for several months now, didn’t mind at first, but with these new variants and limited vax rates, I’ve started feeling like the firm is putting me in a terribly unsafe position. Refusing to travel isn’t without career-limiting consequences. I’m mostly just venting, but a year ago we were told we’d never be on the road again like we were pre-covid, but surprise, here we are.

Any suggestions on what to get at RH? We already got our major furniture expenses out of the way... it’s the $350 rh credit or take 250 cash. I’m thinking of the latter but wondering if there any items I would probably not get otherwise from the free money (there were some issues with our furniture so this was comp)

How do you defend yourself if you didn't meet a utilization target?

Anyone been to the Harvard Extension School - Consultant’s Toolkit program? Any insights to share?
