PwC has been setting targets for practices to use SDCs. I've worked with SDCs and thought they were really good and cheap! Am I seeing a trend here? What does the future hold for local As and SAs?

What is an sdc?

Service Delivery Ctr- basically offshoring

Assurance, Tax and some Advisory practices have been setting such targets for years. SDC quality varies quite a bit but for repeatable tasks they tend to be decent. Analysis generally should stay onshore. Like at other firms, proper use of offshoring is key to profitability and being able to properly price projects.

Case in point - a team member asked them to review the design/code but not make any changes over last night, and the email response this morning begins with "we've made changes"

My last Sdc resource was awful and needed way too much coaching for the simple tasks they were given.

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?

How much time do you spend alone during the weekends ? I usually don’t like being alone, so I try to plan something with my friends and feel sad if I don’t have any plans. It could be just going to the park but I highly depend on company of other people. With spring around the corner, I feel the pressure to make friends/ start dating so that I can do something. Am I weird ?

I recently left a company because I didn’t see eye to eye with management about recruitment. The company I worked for regularly touts its commitment to D&I but in the recruitment process my candidates were routinely exited for having natural hair, being too old, too “urban”, etc. I’m not looking to bitterly blow up their spot but I feel like someone needs to be aware of this. This was done at the higher levels of local leadership and I have no connection with anyone in corporate. What to do?
