PwCOP. Yep. I was sort of shocked by the request. It seemed very extreme to list out names of people that you could argue were (as bad as it sounds) justified shootings. It's one thing to say I am standing against police violence, it's another to say I think all people shot and killed by the police are innocent.

Tomorrow is Rest and Retool Day for BCG. Like other random firm days off, YMMV by client needs and Partner team. My team told client tomorrow is a firm holiday. A/Cs will be off. As PL, I’ll catch up some emails and be responsive if CEO or VP Corp Dev calls. Otherwise, I’ll be in the pool with my kids.

Deloitte (or is it just my client?) is doing a thing of no meetings Friday and Tuesday so it might as well be a day off

EY has tomorrow and Monday off.

We were encouraged to “shut down” at noon...

EY has Friday and Monday. That of course depends on client engagements

Is this an extra day for labor day weekend or did I miss something else?

ZS had firm-wide appreciation day in June - you could take 1 free day off at any point during the month.

At PwC it depends on the project. I am working today on my project

Hi all,
I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly. However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?
