Thoughts on West Monroe?

Seamless is a blessing and a curse

Those of you who have transferred offices at the same firm, how did it go? How did you present the request? I am a junior hoping to transfer from a satellite to a larger market’s office.

I quit my job and am going back to home country. What is the fastest way to transfer $100k from the US to a country in Asia?

Anyone do any gov’t consulting in the Boston area? Would love to chat.

Deloitte folks - what's with the new structure? Is the monitor team pulling folks from S&O for staffing?

How often do people actually go into the office? I’m about to get an offer as a CE and I live about 90 minutes from the office. Google will give me relocation but if I just need to go in 1-2 a week, I’d be open to stomaching the commute. Any info would be helpful!

Hi guys in Accenture, myCompetency, for Primary Skill assessment is there any proctor checking or it's just an assessment without any proctor or supervision?

Is it possible to get 26V to 45V in 4 weeks?

Hi Miami 🐠 Can you please share your thoughts on what would be good walkable neighborhoods that are within 30-45 minutes away from the airport, either Miami or Ft. Lauderdale? We are a married couple no kids in our mid-20s, and prefer relaxed lifestyle brunch spots / coffee shops over bars and clubs. We plan to rent a 1 bed 1 bath apartment with all basic amenities, e.g., in-unit washer/dryer, dishwasher, gym, etc.

Thoughts on getting fed government jobs? I'm a first year associate in a specialized transaction group in DC and I fucking hate it. I had an internship at a federal department in school but after that went 2L SA/firm. Any hope of finding something? Right now my plan is to just start spamming USAjobs and hope something eventually sticks.

Random partner asked a litigation-related question to a partner I frequently work with (i’m a transactional associate). My partner cc’d me and said for me to briefly look. Asked the library. They got me a great case. Sent it back. Now the random partner is asking for more cases in another circuit.

I haven’t done caselaw research since 1L and this isn’t even my practice… wtf do I do (I am fully utilized in my normal work and have a few deals closing soon…)

I am asked to apply for visa for poland, I have a spouse and kid as dependents. On VFS website, visa slots are different for national visa and dependents..so will i have to book visa slot separately for my dependents or can i take my dependents on my visa date.

What are some concrete reasons why someone in consulting would be fired, other than the obvious stupid things?

NYC 🐠! For those waiting to return and sign new leases, do you think there will still be a reasonable amount of deals in august? Or do you think most opportunities will get scooped up before then? Trying to time it right as I don’t want to be in nyc this summer\pay rent this summer but don’t want to miss out and pay more $$$ over a year.

Good books for case prep/valuation. Econ consulting, if relevant. TIA

Anyone familiar with Wepay and can share their thoughts about a product management role ? Also about the culture and future of the company

Do you all write cover letters for job apps (where they require one) like how you would write an ‘our understanding’ section of a proposal to a client? I.e. some soulful understanding of the hiring firm’s place in the universe, reasoning of what their needs are to succeed and put them in a position of greatness etc, and why you are uniquely qualified?

Or just keep it simple?

Should I buy iwatch of it's too sad !?

When you hear that staff 1s we're just laid off... 😳

Accenture folks:
1. Does Accenture do tuition reimbursement?
2. What level number is a consultant?

What are some of the best books you’ve read about people and investing? Such as dealing with people (business psychology almost) and then investing (real estate more specifically)!

I am looking for books that give practical advice, not just big picture theory and motivation.

Is becoming a successful realtor easy or something? Almost everyone I know from my hometown that worked in retail switched to being a realtor in the past year, is this some secret goldmine? It looks like all they do is post house pics on Instagram and post stories about how they’ve sold 10 houses and you can too?

I have about 13 years experience in public sector healthcare doing program management and PMO work on systems implementation and integration projects. Which firms can I target outside big 4 for similar roles? Seems like most firms are doing only healthcare strategy work which is not my area of interest. Thanks.

What is the tuition reimbursement benefit like at your company? I’m in Accenture Operation and there’s no such benefits. (Only strategy and CDO have it). Is it typical?

New FY new me! I decided that tomorrow I'm going for gusto and shedding weight so I can look and feel as feisty as my personality. Has anyone experienced career benefits to weight loss ??

Started work at Accenture a month ago. I was interviewing for McKinsey at the same time and have just now got an offer. I want to leave Accenture. But will it show up on my Background check that I left? I never had Accenture on my resume to start with so not planning on putting it down. Assuming HireRight will be used for the background check.

Dear all, how can we weigh the multiple offers in hand , should we go after the company brand but with less pay/ job title (if job title is below current job title) or another MNC which offers more pay and equivalent job title (which matches with current company job title) ?

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.

I find myself struggling the explain things with the same eloquence as my colleagues. How can I improve my consulting speak? Any recommended books?
