I’ve found a few roles which match the job I currently do to a cent% and I feel I’d be a great fit but I just wanted to get this question out of my way because I’ve heard that WF doesn’t really deal with H1 visa’s much. Thanks, P

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.

If you quit PwC and are moving to a different location for your next job. Is it possible to return your laptop in the other PwC office?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
