Partners, what do you expect from Sr Managers in terms of sales (origination)? Do you expect them to run/expand a part of the business independently?

What do you do when your team member doesn’t know when to stop talking to you?

I have a direct report who is smart, passionate about her job and can be really innovative. However she carries this enormous weight of responsibility, for needing to do everything, do it right, make sure it's perfect, not trusting colleagues to help. It creates dread and panic and overwhelming workload and a terrible attitude for her and I am speaking with her this week to start to shift her mindset. Any tips in navigating how to let go of this heavy idea of "responsibility"?

What were signs of layoffs in 2008?

Why would a client work with MBB's digital arms (McK Digital, DigitalBCG, Vector) instead of tech/digital strategy at Big4/ACN where they are more established players and market leaders?

Which events are you going to at NABA!?

Hearing there were some layoffs today…

I have Thielen, Ridley, and DHop as my WRs. Then i have Aaron Jones, Melvin Gordon, and Damien Harris as my RBs. .5PPR league. Should I go out and trade one of those WRs with a RB to try and grab a better RB2? Or can I ride with my WRs holding down both WR spots and the Flex?

So I am in a unique situation from a supply chain standpoint. Client has a Make to Order product, with a backlog up to next year so in theory life should be easy. Except the current Supply Chain environment means the amount of past dues are racking up and the production schedule keeps falling wildly behind and catching up because impossible because the schedule is packed at capacity.

I have some ideas to help them, but I would love to find some good reading on MTO best practices and scheduling.

For those in NYC - my favorite second hand luxury reseller (based in Paris) is in NYC next week for a pop-up. Their service is super professional and their selection of products is great. If folks are interested I am happy to add their info. I’ve been selling and buying from them since more than 5 years and have always been super happy with the service so wanted to share the tips ☺️ (not an ad, and not sponsored)

HELP. I'm freaking out. Has anyone ever been denied employment because they have poor credit? $5k in debt, behind on credit cards, no bankruptcy or other major issues. No criminal history. They (UBS) sent me a pre-adverse action letter to explain why I have bad credit. Does this mean I won't get the job?

FIS is giving retention bonus to particular employees. Fortunately I'm selected. They are giving 1.5 lakh and requested me to stay for next one year 😂

@EY GDS why are some folks hesitated to tell their project name to others in EY GDS? Are there any risks involved?

What does it take to get fired as a Staff 1 from experience at your respective firms? Fun segue into ridiculous staff stories as well 🤔🙄

I have been promised a promotion three times now, but when the time comes, I'm told I'm not there yet. Why promise something if you clearly don't want to execute it?

How is Bain&Company doing? Don’t see them making much news even on LinkedIn.

Partners, what's something you know now that you wish you knew when you were a Sr. Manager?

Which firms still have personal offices for partners? (And I’m not talking about booking a room everyday)

EY Partners - we have serious concerns about Mercury and the negative moral/effectiveness it creates. Is this a stop whining and deal with it situation or is there anything we can do?

PwC Partners.....can you explain the big operating model change that was announced that had no bearing on staff. Why announce it then? What benefits can we expect?

Do any Deloitte partners have metrics on the number of layoffs this past month across the board? Is it just overblown on fishbowl?

Partners at KPMG, if you are pursuing a partnership, do you need to be an MD first? If not what are the key metrics defined at year end for potential partners to meet?

Partners of Fishbowl. What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you’re evaluating people for promotions?

Scenario: you are a Partner with a Director below you. The D is bringing in 80% of your revenues and is becoming more and more successful over time. There seems to be one P spot. What typically happens?

Should I stay in Big4s/boutiques to gain specialized experience or join strat consulting firm to hone problem-solving skills + CV boost?

Currently being offered income partner at KPMG or director at Deloitte. I prefer Deloitte but they won’t budge to partner at this point. What would you do partners? Any advice?

Hiya! I was wondering if anyone here has any good recommendations in terms of books or learning material that I can pick up to learn about sales and marketing relevant to the consulting industry?

Partners, are you content and fulfilled where you are in your careers? Obviously fulfilment means different things to different people but by and large, are you happy?

Constructive answers only- the current PMD hiring by Big4s, is it reflective of long term sustained demand? Have an opportunity to come in as a new partner, but curious if it is the rite long term decision …thoughts!

PPMDs, if an employee comes to you and ask for support to join a different group within the firm and the employees ends up not getting the other role, do you typically treat them differently after (e.g., not staffing them on as many deals) / would you hold them back from promotion the following year?

PwC partners - One of my biggest takeaways is that Directors aren’t taken care of appropriately in the firm. That includes lack of focus on their mental health, their work-life balance, unreasonable metrics, comp and bonus increases, how cohort progression is managed and transparency about the PCLDE process. This is based on my 4+ yrs as a D and talking to several folks at or outside CLEX. Several of us leave due to this - just sharing this feedback to consider.

Wife and kid are going to be out of town for the next 2 weeks. Instead of wasting time, I’d like to do something productive. What would you do if you have say 3+ hours a day. Maybe self help, wealth creation type books, work out daily, take care of some things around the house.

Have >$10M in financial assets and joining B4 as Partner. Can Partners DM me with recommendations of lawyers you’ve worked with that are well-versed in review and interpretation of B4 independence policies? Cheers
