Start by writing the headlines of the deck. Storyboard everything on paper first. Write headlines of each page, then sketch. Rearrange, then start making slides.

I don’t let my teams start on decks until we agree to an outline in word (key messages for pages, objective, content)

I swear by this method as well. Although I still end up with a graveyard... I need to get to M1's level.

Icons. Just throw icons everywhere. Make a decent deck with a logical flow, smart art it up, then just throw icons on it aggressively.

very nice for distribution. would think that it would look a bit different for presentation to a large audience

If you are looking for good graphics / design generally cool stuff. I’ve found that those that have been out of college for about 1.5 years and have been doing slide duty the whole time are pretty awesome. I’ve put together the content and some ideas around diagrams, charts, etc and am impressed with their ideas and quality - not to mention I have improved my own skills.

Are you suggesting that people out of college 1.5 years are good at slides?

If you’re a staff living at home, do you enjoy having seniors who will chat with you about random things or would you rather just get your work done and log off?

I gave in my resignation with a 3-week notice period. Always got good feedback from my manager and we generally got along well.
Yesterday he made this comment in front of my team when he made the announcement. "Don't let the door hit you on the way out". In context we were discussing how to reassign my projects. He then laughed like it was a joke, and I didn't react.
Should I bring this up in a 1-1 meeting or let it go? Is this humour or plain sarcasm?

Started in consulting during the pandemic (first job out of school). I always assumed I wouldn’t be able to have a dog bc of the travel schedule but with WFH I’m reconsidering. Would you expect the industry to go back to traveling the way it did before?

At what point do you draw the line on WLB? Working insane hours on a long/term project with what feels like no end in sight. It’s not sustainable but clearly expected. Could you get fired for drawing lines in the sand and saying (example) “come 8:30 every night I’m logging off”. That’s a 65 hour work week as-is but I currently am up until midnight working consistently. For context I’ve been rated as a strong performer consistently and am not new to the job so it’s not a lack of understanding.
