Switched to industry to work at a current client of my now old firm. Every week I’m utterly embarrassed by my old firm and how they very poorly justify why they’re behind on deliverables 🤦🏽‍♀️

Consultants are an embarrassing lot. Nobody wants them but companies keep them to reduce the pain of hiring people for that dirty work.

No empathy from me. I knew these guys at old firm and they were so elitist on who could work with them... Only for me to come work here now and see that it’s not rocket science and all their “day one shooters” are subpar. The most I do for them is to deflect all the negative remarks my boss has about them and pretend they’re just having a bad time.

$1.5M client and new “profitability tool” showing %0 profit. Credit split 50/50 btw 20 year attorney/equity partner (JEP) and a much more senior/connected EP (SEP). Both SEP and JEP developed separate workstreams unrelated to the other. SEP‘s was terminated 3 years ago and only accounts for $200K trail off of the $1.5M. SEP’s salary is 3 times JEP’s. Profitability tool “costs” are not transparent, suspect SEP’s high salary is a factor. Anything (other than typical overhead) to ask about?

(2) Should I wait till I get a project in Bangalore and then change location only if WFH gets over (if that is possible) or change it right now ?
(3) Any idea till when WFH will last? Thanks 🙏

Also, she mentioned that your current project is based on your X competency so we can't change it.

I remember when I first started working on my thesis project. My adviser asked me to get some funding for it, but he didn't give me any advice about how to do that. He just told me that if I wanted money for my project, I'd have to go through some kind of committee process and submit an application for funding from them. Sure enough, after weeks of writing applications and waiting around for responses from the committee members (who were always too busy), I eventually got approved for funding!
