What year is it???

Federal government planned to break up big audit firms with consulting arms.
In preparation, KPMG carved out their consulting arm and renamed it BearingPoint.
Government failed to pass legislation requiring the breakups.
Deloitte was the only firm to not complete the carve out.
BearingPoint subsequently failed.
Deloitte acquired BearingPoint.
Cultural clashes took place and former BearingPoint people submitted to Deloittes wrath or leave.
I interviewed at Deloitte and during questioning section ask about the the BearingPoint people not adapting to Deloitte.
Interviewer informed me she came from BearingPoint. (Clearly assimilated into the collective)
I did not get the job.

I ask because currently I know a few people being headhunted to join their technology service line. Looks like they’re restarting US operations

I used to work for BP in US prior to Bankruptcy. I was in commercial and jumped before they went under - so did not join Deloitte as part of takeover (which was the GPS practice actually - commercial went to PWC).

To answer your question- I think the BP name was retained by some member firms outside US. Might be trying to restart in US.

Yes, they have restarted operations in the US as of 2015. Europe did a MBO back in 2009 and re-started operations back in 2009.

They have 3 US partners so they are trying to reach critical mass

I have ADD and occasionally make small mistakes in my work, like leaving a word missing when editing sentences, small formatting errors or leaving an internal comment in drafts sent to clients. All partners have been very understanding and care about the quality of my work, and no client has ever complained. Partners and clients praise my work.

But now, one partner has become super mad and when I explained ADD, he said:

I am currently in ID and wanting a miracle in-house position. I recently learned that the VP of Lit for an ins. carrier was promoted leaving her position open. I’m unsure if they’re planning to fill that vacant role. I’d like to approach her about my general interest of going in house (asking her how she did it herself) and mention my interest with her company. I know this is a sensitive topic as she gives me cases. I have a great professional and personal rapport with her. Any tips?

While most teachers are protected by teacher unions, I feel my voice hasn’t been heard at all with my concerns of going back to school next week. Our diocese has decided on full return 5 days/ week for all 42 schools despite a recent increase in COVID in our communities. Every other school that I know of in my state is either choosing remote learning to start the year or a hybrid approach, yet that was not an option for us. Are other Catholic schools I. The same boat? Stay safe!

I’ve been seeing all of the Instagram and Linked In posts from agencies in town showing their “commitment to transparency in hiring” and to hire more minorities in light of the BLM movement. I knew the numbers were bad, but holy shit, not THAT bad.
It’s infuriating to me, as a POC how many fucking times I applied, emailed and reached out to so many of these agencies without getting even the time of day.
I’ll believe their supposed commitments, when I actually see the results.
