Anyone part of Deloitte Human Capital M&A practice willing to chat or willing to put me in touch with someone you know who is? I'm interested in applying and would love to have your insight.

Just realized I hadn’t had an in-person interview since 2019. I’ve done multiple zoom interviews and was onboarded remote in 2020. About to see a real person today! Wish me luck.

How long to hear back typically after a round?

If you had to choose between applying to McKinsey or BCG, which one would you apply to, and why? (im a consultant at Deloitte in Technology Strategy and Transformation, and would love to stay in tech strategy).
*haven't applied to either yet because i'm still debating if I want to lose the little WLB i have left

Is it common to have the hiring manager interview “pre on site”? I cleared the initial recruiter call. What can I expect from this? RRK? It is for a non technical role

For the people who earned the SHRM-CP, did you feel it was worth it? I have an indirect HR position, been applying for more HR focused positions and wondering if this would help. I got the CAPM (certified associate of project management) in December, but that hasn’t really changed things. Would love some opinions before working on another certification!

I hold an offer of 18LPA from KPMG with joining date of 7th September. (Wfh)
I applied at Workday on 15th May and went through 7 technical rounds of interview and received a verbal offer letter of 21LPA (hybrid)
Now apparently their technical panel "forgot" about the interview and wants to have a discussion again as 8th technical interview. HR says their joining date will be 19th September.

Should i join KPMG?

What inspired you to join this industry?

EY fish - when you are laid off, is it immediate the day you're told or do you get a little warning?

How do I figure out spending with my SO? Initially I was paying for 90% of stuff (no actual bills, just going out). I talked to her and said we need to be more even. She was never proactive. She kind of got offended but we ended on a good note to split things. It went well for a couple weeks but now it's back to normal. She never takes out her card and only venmos me if I send her the request. She lets Venmos sit for weeks before paying them. I still let a lot of things slide.

Every time I start a new project, I just look forward to the roll off date. It’s just so sad how I never find any of my projects exciting or fulfilling. I’ve been looking for a new job outside of consulting for years but haven’t landed anything. I just feel mediocre at best not knowing how to even do my own job since the requirement changes all the time.

Do any of you struggle with feeling like you owe other people. Or I guess owe your employer, company, team etc to put in your best effort? I think I feel this way but to the point of it being detrimental. And I’m not sure how to fix or change it. It’s like my whole existence is a ledger i need to keep in balance (lol accounting analogy)

Good afternoon!

Planning to go to Jersey Shore (Spring Lake, Asbury Park, Bradley Beach, etc.) Will be going in 2 weeks with SO. Any recommendation for where to stay for 1 night? Looking for something romantic and very nice. Any advice? Thanks!

Have you found using a standing desk increase your productivity? How else do you increase your productivity? I am so distracted all the time

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?

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)?

Good books for case prep/valuation. Econ consulting, if relevant. TIA

I just deleted five emails whose only text was "Thanks!"

Do you find these emails beneficial or annoying?
Is there a social cost of doing away with them?

Reached out to a member of different team for clarification for the first time, and got a response “sorry dude, Lunch Time. Come after 1 PM.” Felt like I was standing at a service window in a DMV

Does B4 let people go the same day as their resignation only if they’re going to a direct competitor? How about MBB or a tier 2 consulting firm?

Does anybody have good electric standing desk recommendations? Ideally in the $200-300 range.

Any fellow fishbowl consultants staying at the Beverly Hilton and up for a drink or two?

How did you decide what to specialise in? I’m naturally inquisitive and find it hard to say no to opportunities so constantly feeling like I’m foregoing opportunity to build my “platform”.

I saw a comment on here from someone referencing a book about organisational Psychology and working with different types of personalities, but I can’t find the comment/thread now. Do any of you have recommendations on this topic?
