Throwing this out there - I've transitioned into being a client running IMO/SMO and it's 1000x better. You kickstart the value creation initiatives mapped out with corp dev and do the cool initial brainstorming, then hand it off when execution gets heavy, work very closely with BU GMs to plan product integration roadmaps and commercial integration, work with G+A leads on Day 1/2 op models, then fling all the garbage work, PMO, status reporting to consultants. 10/10 recommended becoming a client.

Good stuff OP!

Just don‘t fall into the trap that you‘re being absolutely useless in 2 years (as most internal IMO/SMOs are) and then are stuck in a job with no growth opportunities and leadership sees you as non-impactful and therefore doesn‘t promote you into the business. Have seen that often enough

Just curious on other people's opinions here. Quick background: I've been working 2 years at UHY as an audit associate and 1 as a PWC associate.

I've lost motivation, mainly due to the fact I'm working as the manager and senior on 1 client and the senior on 6 other clients since last June. Obviously, still getting paid as an associate. While working 80-90 hours, I now make less than my roommate who doesn't have a degree and works between 35-38 hours a week. Should I start looking for a new job?

Thoughts on a recruiter who contacts you and then goes on to state his client may not like 10 years at one company. Answer to company culture is your future boss is a good guy and no training is provided.

A question for the associates:
How should I talk to a new associate on my team (4 mos.) about critical issues including 1) spending too much time on a single project; 2) not meeting expectations in terms of number of billable hours; 3) botching easy procedural issues? This person has significant skills and writes very well. But their work is consistently turned in at the last minute, they have to be corrected on procedures regularly, and they never come talk to me without an invitation.

Other than upsell, cross sell and geo expansion, pricing, are all the other revenue synergies completely imaginary? I've seen CDD reports and folks on my teams try to get creative with R&D, product, CX, type synergies. These are either difficult to implement, or the cost to achieve is so high it basically becomes a dis-synergy through margin contraction. Are we getting too creative with these non-traditional revenue synergy ideas? Have any of you seen the creative ones quantifiably work?
