Best place to buy club set in NYC for a beginner to intermediate player based on price and quality?

Those looking for content, strongly recommend Rebels and Clone Wars series if you haven’t seen them already… I just got into Rebels and it’s excellent. Perhaps cartoon format gives some perception about it, but the story line is amazing!!! Disney has more screen time to explain things… for example I didn’t know a light saber has a knob to change the length, or all the details about inquisitors (which we see a little off in the Kenobi trailer)

Any ideas for a 40th bday venue? Dinner with a good vibe and lounge after? Did MaD last year for him and they had a semi private but still very much in the mix for 15 people. I honestly can’t think of what to do but he’s bougieAF. Steak48 is an option. Looking for any other cool things you’ve hosted or attended lately?

Where are the best pastries in chicago? I’m talking flaky lamination and amazing croissants, tarts, breads, danishes

I am moving to Colorado from Northern Virginia. Is it possible to move a large houseplant? How? This fiddle leaf fig (his name is Figaro, actually) doesn’t have a strong center trunk (more)

Good bar spots around 345 park (KPMG) lol

Any off beat documentaries to recommend? Just watched the Barkley Marathons.

Do you recommend any songs that help you focus?

Hello PwC AC Friends,

I have been on bench since I joined the firm 3 months ago. Now I have got project but still on bench. I have got mail regarding not raising snapshots because I was on bench so i didn't do anything except trainings and some learning. I don't have hours to raise snapshot for.

What shall I do in this case? I am very much worried that if i don't have any project hours to show, will they fire me or what actions are supposed to be taken ? Thanks.

Is it true Deloitte is not sponsoring H1B visas? I have a friend considering joining as an SC after MBA. However, they are concerned that Deloitte is not sponsoring. Are these fears correct? How does this work from a recruiting perspective? They would be hired as an off-cycle campus hire via PPMD referral, not within the standard pool of campus hires. Thanks!

What vitamins / dietary supplements do you take daily?

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.

Out of curiosity: what percentage of men in your office do you estimate to have cheated on their SO’s? Percentage of women? I think I’m naive about these things

iPhone 6s, iOS 11. Restarted phone, battery jumped from 19% to 45% and now rapidly declining. What the..?

Going thru the hiring process with PwC. This sickens me of PwC people who are unresponsive despite multiple attempts to reach out (email, voice mail, internal employee reached out on my behalf)

That DCA sunrise is 👌

first year consultant here and one week into first project. Is it normal to not be sending deliverables of any kind to client (even simple powerpoint slides)? Manager currently sends everything

For folks starting MBA this fall, when do you plan to quit and what do you plan to do?

Top consulting firms in the aviation / urban air mobility space?

Automatic red flag to have an engagement kickoff just before the holidays, receive emails at all hours of the day (to include weekends/holidays), be told there’s a lot to do but “it’ll be a great opportunity”, and then be told leadership wants people to prioritize work life balance? Figured I’d be looking for an exit soon, but this just pushed it up.

Recommendations for employment attorneys in New York? Good but not super expensive.

Thrown onto a data migration project ....Help 🤷🏻‍♂️😨

Any consultants hop into Growth Equity or know much about how the skillset translates?

A friend of mine from a top tier consulting firm was counseled out. Do you consider it ethical that his career counselor is intentially spreading the information to his colleagues and to other consultants from other companies in the project? What can he do about it? Specially that he considers the potential layoff is purely based on the current situation (chargeability was low) and not on his performance (they said that his contribution to BD during his bench time was low)?
