If you’re getting this email obviously your Staffit has you exceeding 45 hours so you already knew the expectation was for more than 45.....

At least you can bill 45.... I work 60 and can only bill 40.

Also get retaliated against for going over 40 and eating into the partner/MD/Dir ERP.
In one ear and out the other homie. 👍🏼

Ha no it’s an IT bug and was sent in error. Only have to bill 40 but I did think it was funny and ironic

OP Are you Advisory? We were just told 50 is the new target min starting this week

like

Wow... why aren’t you guys all quitting ?

I think this is typical audit firm behavior. Entering the actual time worked neither changes your salary nor is the client going to pay more than what was in the S.O.W. If you say partner margins, then you don't understand the fact that it goes from one pocket into the other.

I’m surprised Advisory folks here have not seen the new email communication. It’s the email sent on Friday titled “Optimizing productivity and client service utilization”. The new minimum is 50.

like

@M1 it doesn’t affect cash flow at the firm level but it does affect partner metrics which affects their adjustments at year end. That’s why they care

like

No I’m consulting but maybe that’s the bug is we got pulled into the report. Are they really changing your target to 50 hours??

@Ey1. You are foolish for burying hours

D2.. who said that 50 hrs is the new target. I’m consulting and haven’t been told.

Is this because you forecasted hours and there is this a policy and a requirement?

like

Eww do they actually do this? And does it really matter about putting over 40 hours, your salary, you don’t get paid extra right?

A2 - that’s the key point here

Reality at D is very different from what it projects outside.

I was once at a dinner with a second year analyst, consultant, and partner, and the analyst said he planned on retiring by 30 and the partner and consultant laughed. Little did they know, the analyst owned his own home and rented all the rooms out so he payed no rent, never ate out, only grocery shopped, and very very rarely bought anything new. He saved most of his income, and was perfectly content with just his video games. That man was serious about not being stuck working forever.

Hi guys

This question may not be related. However I wanted to know from personal and family point of view how it is like to relocate from India and live abroad .
Let's say Family consists of husband , wife and a kid . I understand we will get good facilities, education, cleanliness , good air etc , however I wanted to check whether people gel up easily in the new environment? Don't they feel loneliness/ difficult to adjust? Do they look for similar asian nationalities to kill boredom?

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
