Uber driver worked for ACN in 2007 then moved to an oil & gas company and got laid off earlier this year. He asked for a referral so I asked if there's anything bad on his file with ACN (cont.)

He said he took PTO for a month instead of quitting to test out his new job before quitting. Accenture eventually found out and they fired him because he 'took an extended period of PTO without his managers approval.' Should I refer him or will it look bad on me?

Hey apparently ACN partners don't know broad side of barn. He will fit in with staff and may make partner by mid year. I would say no. It's your rep

@A1 he did say it was 10 years ago so he was younger and not mature enough and would definitely apologize if it was brought up in an interview

@P2 he was laid off at an oil and gas company. Typical case in Houston which is where this happened.

OP ask him to give a cover letter stating his mistake and that he realized it. Be very clear if you pass it on to HR. Even better if he can tell you who he worked with in the past so you can verify his story

@P1- People make honest mistakes sometimes. Unless it is a pattern, don't see why they wouldn't hire him back if he was a good employee.

I know directors who are working as uber drivers / janitors on the weekends just to make ends meet. Tough times for consulting

Hi Fishes,
I've been offered for Engineering expert position at Novartis India. I've received offer letter 2 weeks back and my DOJ is updated to Mid December. I told the HR that my current company's last working day is on mid January and resend the offer letter with mid Jan as my DOJ. But they told that they can send the revised offer letter 3 weeks before the joining date.
Is this normal process? Has anyone gone through similar experience?

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.
