@op what do you want to work on?

Are you still pushing hard or are you ready to cash in some chips?

Do you value promotions and recognition?

Do you want to be surrounded by people that are still pushing hard or do you want to be around people who view this as a paycheck more than a calling

Do you want to focus more on other parts of your life or are you still happy crushing it and traveling

S2, are you saying that folks at D are not pushing hard? This seems like a misguided statement. In my current experience, the Slalom folks on client site are dragging and about to get the boot. Not at all trying to start something, but I just haven’t seen any slalom work have any comparable scope or impact. IMO, Might as well just join industry if you don’t want to travel and only want to set up tableau dashboards/be a salesforce admin. As for this decision, Deloitte has far better opportunities post D, including Slalom which will always take Big4 but not vice verse.

Also, don’t forget that D is harder to get into than Harvard so this is a very theoretical situation

it feels like every survey about working from home is (poorly) designed to answer the useless question "would you rather work from home or from the office."

It’s happening so much I’m starting to lose confidence in the company/strategy. It’s also causing me anxiety…
