READY TO PARTYY!!!

Cannot wait for my next vacation!

Texas drivers…honest question. Why, why in tf do people just camp in the left lane? I’m talking doing maybe 5 mph over the limit in the left lane when people want to go faster and they can get over?? I can’t always see around and sometimes on hills I can see that one jackass is holding up a line of cars. What gives???

Hi guys,

I got my full and final settlement today but I can see no tax deduction. Does anyone know the reason. 4k tax used to be deducted every month till now. I also got gratuity and leave encashment along

Okay - the number one rule is that ladies DM here

What’s next on your expensive wishlist to make this job a little more comforting?

Thoughts on building new, say 4 unit build?

I'm in the rust belt and there is a lot of vacant land for cheap in nice areas. How're the returns vs reno and the process of financing and permitting?

Would the team name "COVID Shuffle" be too inappropriate for a walking challenge?

I’d like to make it a tradition to attend the Presidential Inauguration whenever possible.

Can anyone who has attended before (or lives in DC) offer any suggestions or tips for going: where to stay, how long to go, what to do, etc.

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.

Anyone keeping tabs on the Darrell Brooks trial? Prime sovereign citizen nonsense.

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM. I come from a Big4 consulting firm with a background in Enterprise Performance. I’ll be honest and say I’m not feeling very safe in my current role with the ongoing layoffs. Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.

Very silly question but where do you guys buy good paneer in Manhattan?

Hi, do we have any testers here?
If yes, hit like.

Hey Fishes,
What’s the default hike % and bonus we get in HSBC if we join in September for GCB Band 5 role?

2015 $85/month towards health ins. 2019 $622/month. It’s sad that in a profession that requires a college education our take home decreases over time. Thanks NJ. Can’t wait to find a new career!!!

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

HNY! For those of you that took the AWS Cloud Practitioner exam, how did you prepare for it? Study materials, hours, etc?

After months of suspense, Accenture UK emailed to confirm I am not getting fired. Time to get 💩

Recommendations for comprehensive books on the finance industry? I want to learn more about investment banking and modern financial instruments. Got a lot of free time during this lockdown

Best resources to prepare for online BCG case?

What do you think it takes for a PPD to get a utilization bearing WBS for proposal work? I know it is rare...

Any OW fish willing to shaker their experience related to the private capital (legacy CFA) group?

What are some publications, books, podcasts, online classes etc that can help me prepare for my first year in consulting? Have 5 years of experience in finance and making the jump to consulting.

What are good careers/how to find one for Type: B people? Sick of forcing myself for the past 4 years to have a type A mindset.

Interested to connect and discuss how to land a first job with internship experience and an MBA

Looking for some book recommendations :)

Looking for recommendations for good consulting / problem solving books and possibly LinkedIn courses if anyone has taken something worthwhile. Thanks Fam!

Overly enthusiastic TSA guy: hey! You fly through here every week, right? I know I recognize that face! ...it's my first time in this airport... I guess all Asians look alike? 😂

Are FPX projects considered under utilization? I heard something about adjusted utilization... does that still exist?

Recommendations for a keyboard? I’m quite illiterate in this topic, and I ordered a random one off Amazon and it’s quite noisy, and not very ergonomic

My favorite part of consulting is helping the consultants I manage improve their public speaking by designing talking points, reducing their fear or anxiety around speaking, and improving their executive presence.

I read about people on this platform needing help in these areas. At the same time, I’ve been wanting to spend more time helping more people with these topics. If anyone would be interested in sharing about their public speaking-related challenges, feel free to DM!

Can someone please help me calculate my Utilization? The Client Service Hours on ToD seems to be confusing. When does the utilisation for the year start? April or June?

I have a consulting/PE interview on Friday, please recommend consulting books or sites to read. Need to speak consulting language
