Silly question to start the day - Why do we refer to an email as a “note”? I know it’s minor, but some corporate jargon just rubs me the wrong way

Yoe-11.5
Current CTC -17.8
I have got an offer of 24.5 and designation AVP. I got what I asked.

Did I asked less?? Can I re-negotiate the offer? I don't have any other offer right now.

What do you wish you knew before becoming a Pharmacist/Starting Pharmacy school? A new tech asked me this after I agreed to mentor her.

For anyone who practices tax lit in the US Tax Court, what’s your experience with the independent office of appeals? They don’t seem quite that “independent” to me and so far, I’ve only had one appeals officer who seemed knowledgeable and nice. It’s been a real headache. Interested to hear other people’s experience.

Who was around in 2008/2009 at big 4? Specifically in advisory? How were those practices affected during the layoffs? Any insight to ease some of the worry/unknown would be greatly appreciated.

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.

So just found out my in-laws are having Thanksgiving ham and meatloaf and no turkey... do other people do this?

Recommendations for best ways to save for retirement after contributing to 401k up to match and maxing out Roth IRA?

How does your firm measure utilization? I work for a small boutique that defines it as utilization = number of billable hours/2,080 and full bonus payout occurs at 80% plus.

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?

For people in consulting - do you often read books about project management and motivation? Would appreciate your recommendations (preferably the ones with more than one thought for the whole brick of text 🤨).

When are y’all’s timesheets due?
Monday morning for me.

Looking for recommendations on a good book/resource on how to manage people, especially when you’re managing teams to achieve tight deadlines and also overall leadership for those teams. Currently on a project with tight regulatory deadlines and feel like I’m struggling to push people without pissing them off. Great learning curve for me and a good read seems timely. TIA!

How often are you full time on a semi traveling project, and your pml pulls you into his side projects without any billable hours 😑 so dang unethical! side stuff is in addition to your 100% project

Which neighborhoods is the best for San Francisco? I commute to the South Bay frequently: Marina, Russian Hill and Lower Haight.

Hit 120% utilization (between 2 projects). Thinking about taking off the month of December 😂😂

About rolling off my project with no new project opportunity yet. I’m already getting anxious and can’t have a full night rest with the worry of not finding a project soon and eventually getting laid off. Although I tend to stress-out easily but this type of anxiety is different. Are others feeling the same way? Also over 90% chargeability and great reviews, but seems like that may not matter with the recent layoff stories I’ve read....

For all you major savers + investors, how would you suggest to get started investing in assets other than a 401K and ROTH IRA?

Anyone else hear that post-CRT partners will get fired this year in commercial advisory? How the hell does a partner get fired....

Looking for recommendations of books to read related to commercial / corporate real estate strategy

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!

What are expected utilisation rates for entry level consultants? Been here 9 months and only done billable work for about 3 months of that. Bored out of my mind for the majority of my time here.

Is a second career gap considered career suicide in tech/consulting - both were voluntary, never fired or laid off?

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

To my understanding dealmaking/structuring is a major aspect of senior positions and I would like to gain more experience in that space. There's an opportunity for me to take up a role in Corporate Development and Transaction Services (I am currently in a CD&O role), will I actually get what I'm seeking in that area + is this overkill for someone looking to learn sales skills?

Thanks in advance
