recently promoted to senior analyst into a new group (internal transfer). Been in the role for 2 months, and everytime I make a mistake I always get anxious that I'm going to be fired. Most of my (few to begin with) mistakes are minor, and its a pretty different role from what i was doing before tbh...

anyone have any advice for this anxiety? in general how bad do u have to be to get fired, and how many chances do you get lol. is it possible one mistake sends u home if its big enough?

Thanks for sharing, I think many of us have been there and certainly all of us make “mistakes”. Are these mistakes where you just create more work for yourself, or are you creating more work for your team? Are you putting the firm at risk? If you are owning and learning from your mistakes and showing a trajectory of improvement I’m sure you’re fine. It is when people come across as aloof and disrespectful when others start to avoid working with them and staffing becomes an issue.

Agree with D1, everyone makes mistakes. But learn from them and show progress when you're given feedback... You'll be fine. There's very few mistakes people can get fired outright for.

I'm talking like sending client sensitive info to the wrong external parties and making some extreme blunders or something like that. Otherwise, be open to feedback and improve yourself consistently.

Current role feels like an abusive relationship. Client is extremely demanding, almost unreasonably so, and partners on the project are pushing hard to deliver since things are tough with covid. How are others dealing with such levels of stress in this current environment?

I had a 3.3 in college as a finance / information systems double major. What kind of GMAT scores do I need to get into a reputable b-school? Even worth going for or is a 3.25 too low?

Is 135k for a senior consultant at Deloitte reasonable? I’ve been offered 135k at a competing firm and would like it matched.

Can any Kearney fish share their experiences / reflections of working at the firm?
Curious to hear about culture, WLB, fairness of pay/incentives, focus on employee wellness, ability to learn/grow at the org (flat org vs hierarchical).
Thanks in advance!
