Dont be absolutely absurd

funny

Why? Genuine question

They’re taking a lot of the partners that have been let go by Big 4 / MBB, so presumably not the best. Equally they are then taking 3 or 4 of those partners team members who again wouldn’t be the best. They won’t win on talent but might do well because of agility and no restrictions and a clear route to market

like

Most partners from big 4 don’t have what it takes to go it alone. All their work has come to them because they own a particular area of big 4 and clients have come to big 4 specifically to have a big 4 stamp on some work. Met very few partners at pwc who aggressively go out and seek work, which is what unity would need to do

uplifting

+1. Its very hard to sell without a big brand.

are they even recruiting yet? given the big announcement it fizzled out spectacularly quickly

I know one of the Partners and they’re pretty good. Interested to see how it works out for them.

Completely and totally miserable at my firm and just need a space to vent because my friends are tired of hearing about it. I wish the worst part about it was the amount of work, rather than the completely toxic culture, lack of appreciation, arbitrary and back/breaking deadlines, lack of mentorship/feedback/training, and the fact that the associates act like they don’t even know each other. I cry every day and constantly am made to feel stupid for not understanding the highly technical (cont.)
