Probably a dumb question, but with tech, how did we come up with FAANG? What separates them from companies such as Airbnb, Snapchat, Microsoft, etc.? Some make sense, but the Netflix one is what is holding me up....

Wanted to understand what happens in FAANG companies if H-1b visa runs out and there is no I-140 in place to extend visa beyond 6 years. Do they transfer the employee to a non-US office E.g. Canada? Does anyone here been through this scenario?

Waddle or Theilen?

Do any of you have a favorite pre-workout and/or post-workout protein shake? Looking into some to give me energy for sitting at my desk all day 🙃🙂

Anyone here playing Warzone??

Fine line is great in the summer, just watch for the birds

I just watched Netflix's "How it Ends".

I am so blown away by the last like 20 mins of the movie. Like someone clearly edited most of the script up to that point then decided "eh the rest is probably good enough for no one to qc"

Is it a red flag if someone says they don’t believe in self help books like Atomic Habits, Attached, etc?

There is nothing more therapeutic to me than an open road and a good playlist.

What's your absolute favorite dinner spot in Chi-town? I'm willing to travel, but I'm moving soon so want to hit all of the greats I haven't been to or didn't know about.

90s music binge is so fire right now.

Accidentally found the song ‚Life‘ by Zivert on Spotify. Perfect to lighten up a Sunday morning. Anything else you find worth sharing music wise? Have a great one!

What series you guys are watching during this new normal work from home thing?

Thanks

Hi,
I had call with the HR for he position based out of Mumbai everything in interview and they are ready to share the offer. however, I quoted for 10 lakhs and they said for fixed pay of 8.75.
Although, i checked on Google as well average pay they are giving is 9.7 lakh
So should I accept the offer as per their negotiation or shall positively tell them why 10 lakh is justified?

Are there any affordable batting cages south of Houston that I can take my son to?

Anyone have any affordable case management software recommendations? I’m looking for something a bit non-traditional as I work for a small nonprofit. Ideally the software would involve document organization/access as well as like a running “log” for folks to post relevant events or work completed for the file.

Hi Fishes,
Need your advice. Got HR call for salary discussion they are ready to offer 8.25 lpa + 1L joining bonus .
Is it good offer or should I reject for 2.5 years of experience?

It’s been 9 weeks since I had to go to bed on Sunday nights with 4AM alarms, one of my far and few happy moments in these uncertain times..

Definitely getting sick. Picking up a cough and everything hurts. Good thing my team has a big deliverable tomorrow.

Tired consultant in Tennessee on a super tiring Monday evening ( connection this am) eating by myself with more slides t block out before I call it a night.. This is the part of the job that I hate!

3 Day PTO starts now...my buddy's bachelor party. Forget you, utilization.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

enough with the fight..lets get back to GOT peeps

So apparently accenture is making people who are on the bench enroll into a mandatory customer service role even if you’re 100% utilized. Friend took 3 weeks of PTO and has been on the bench for a few days and he is being forced. Worst part? It’s Tues-Saturday.

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

Currently at Big 4. Have offers for a PL/Principal at MBB and for a VP role at a Fortune 20 company. The VP role is more interesting and comp a bit better but I’m told would accelerate faster at MBB. The initial plan was to end up at MBB. What’s the best for future flexibility?

My suit pants ripped beyond repair. Is it ok to wear a suit jacket without the pants, like a blazer?

Do you tip for room service? Even if they take $5 charge + 20%? If you do, how much?

How is utilization calculated? What happens if we are on the bench?

Top consulting firms in the Aerospace / Aviation,l or Defense / Intelligence spaces? Looking for business or tech strategy jobs here

How do you get out of consulting? What kind of jobs can you do without starting from the bottom? Trying to figure out my exit...

Thoughts on building a better working world?

Anyone care to share experiences of flying out of Stewart Airport in upstate NY? I'll be getting there from Manhattan.

Person on client pushes all their work straight to me. Rolling off the end of December. Project ends in April. Can't wait to say Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year with a big grin #SeasonofGiving ;)

How do I check my actual utilization (not the effective one). Mybusiness only tells me the effective utilization

Has anyone used gliders that stick on tyres of office chair, for better movement over the carpet?
