So glad am working for PwC. One week vacation starts!!

3.5YOE; 26yo - 90k€ + fully paid company car exit offer as In-house Consultant for IT-Management. 37h/week, 30 days of vacation and as much remote work as I want.
Also after 2 years automatic raise to 105€k

Based in Germany.
Maybe some European 🐠 opinion?

Maybe this sounds privileged.. or plain dumb... I just got back from a really fun vacation and I’m sad! Guess i got the “back to real life” blues. How do I get back to my happy self!??

Any United health group remote employees here? I recently accepted an accounting job and some of the onboard makes it seem like I’m only allowed to work from my home office. I usually spend a few weeks a year out of town visiting family and work during this time so I don’t have to use PTO but I’m nervous I won’t be allowed to do that anymore

Hi, we are currently updating our Apprenticeship Policy and I wanted to understand what other organisations offer in regards to:
1. Rewards for exam passes
2. Holiday allowance during study

Any detail would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Moving from T2 to McKinsey. How do vacation requests work? I have family and friends getting married this fall in weddings delayed because of covid, but I’ll just have started so wanted to get a sense of how realistic taking vacation this fall would be and how to approach taking it (e.g. mention to HR, staffing). TIA!

Starting a new job next month, and considering taking two days off for kids’ spring break next month. Not sure whether it’s appropriate to request time off for a new job (I would’ve preferred not to take any time off for first three months). I may just be able to just ask for a single Friday off (so 1 day rather than 2 days).

Any thoughts on whether I should proceed with the request? I just came from big law and want to make sure I’m not making a bad impression on my colleagues.

Is there a policy preventing me from putting in my two weeks notice December 20th (Jan 3rd last day)? That would look like a week and a day of firm paid holiday and then 3days of PTO the second week.

Starting with our very first IVF cycle this week and kinda nervous 🤞
Nurse says retrieval to happen tentatively around 18th Dec but then transfer can take place in early February too considering genetic testing takes weeks. Is this the norm? Just fearing the team is not unnecessarily delaying things owing to holiday break.

Hey CGI folks, from where can I see current year holiday list for 2021 in India?

I have a question for established FAs with staff. How much vacation time do you give your longest tenured employee and how many years has the person worked with you?

Anyone have a corporate rate code for holiday inn?

Do you guys give your boss's New Years' gifts? I'm thinking of doing one since I didn't give a holiday gift but thought it maybe weird

Does PwC Canada allow rollover of unused vacation days?

Thoughts on Overstock OSTK since the holiday is around the corner at the current share price ~67?

Question for BAH - are you able to expense taxi/uber for after hour safety from your holiday event to home? I know most companies let you and so does Deloitte. Asking for a Booz friend.

How is RSM PTO? Understand it’s unlimited, which limits more than accrued, but any insight on what you like/dislike?

My local Safeway is already stocking Valentine's Day chocolates. What would they do without holiday candy to sell? Is this their main purpose? I wonder what they do in off season (if that exists)

Do you guys charge vacation form holidays or excused leave?

Wtf is BizOps? When I was in industry, we just called it ‘Operations’

Sounds like a group name that was totally made up by consultants to make Operations sound different in tech? 🤦‍♂️

Does anyone know if things like jury duty or bereavement leave count against your utilization? I've heard it doesn't count the same way holidays and PTO do, but not sure how that is possible.

Feeling really low, like I'll never be able to find my person and always be alone

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

When did you know it was time to quit?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

Any good business/consulting books on amazon kindle that y’all have read that has helped you in your job?

Is it possible to jump from senior to manager if I switched firms? Doesn’t have to be a big 4...

Which title is better Data Scientist or Analytics Manager

A week or so ago, someone shared a stacked bar chart of each MBB/Big 4 firm that highlighted the percentage of consultants that say they work 40, 50, 60 hours etc a week at each firm. I have searched endlessly to find that chart but haven’t had any luck. Not even on google. Does anyone know the chart I’m referring to?

Did anyone read the top consulting firms to work for? 😂😂😂

What project did you enjoy the most in your career?

Inspired by one of my kids' favorite books, I penned this masterpiece of an Ode to Consulting:

One senior partner all alone
Calls two managing directors on the phone
Three associate partners at the door
Bring along another four
Five senior managers come overdressed
Six managers show up with a guest
Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
Eight associates sneak in the back
Nine analysts come to work
ALL THE CONSULTANTS GO BERSERK!!!

Ok, I'll show myself out now... 😂

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?
