Hi, just wondering how the staffing situation has been in strategy consulting in general? My sibling started a job in strategy in Silicon Valley 2 months ago after MBA. She has been on the bench for 2 months and was informed that there has been a shortage of jobs (within the job) and the amount of people on the bench is getting high. She has been under a lot of stress although she had many great networking calls with people. I wanted to help but can't identify what she can improve on.

My wife has two offer ,already confused and don't want to apply for any other opening now.

I just screamed at my dad and walked out of our home.

This morning I was trying to get feedback from him on a business idea and his response was: Maybe you should focus on your career since you didn’t get a job in finance and had to settle for consulting, and you work at Deloitte... it’s a sweatshop. They didn’t even give you a fast track promotion did they?

This is a regular thing and it’s the fucking weekend. I could use a break.

Considering a move to UAE and Inhave to major questions:
- How is the SC work life balance?
- I am coming from Europe, is there a big cultural shock?

Thanks!

Solos - what does your day look like? Do you work traditional hours? Do you take breaks during the day for personal things such as errands and working out?

Can anyone share their experience for "Wealth Management Americas(WMA) Investment Products IT Change the Bank(CTB) team"? How are projects I mean newer or legacy technology, WLB, team's culture?

In one interview today with Kundyl. Their expectation is to be available oncall 24*7... With work from office.

They literally got offended and stared at me for asking about WLB...

Seems companies are not learning, even after the great resignations.. the big names... Like TCS, ibm.. are not doing any changes to their work culture and ethics to improve WLB.

Current location Noida
NTT data - 15LPA noida (band 8)
TCS - 13 LPA kolkata (IT analyst band c)

Wipro - 14.5 LPA noisa (SSE)

Hi Fishes,
I am an Senior iOS developer. YOE is 8.5. Currently getting 13 LPA. Getting promotion in a month with 25 to 30 percent hike which comes nearly 16.8 LPA. I cannot able to relocate now due to family dependency reasons. I heard iOS developer salary market is good. I am having a very good work life balance in the current company. I am in a confusion. Should I look for opportunities with PWFM or stay in current company? Am I making low pay as per market trends?

Do T2 consulting firms (think Kearney, OW) and MBB hire experienced professionals WITHOUT MBA (I.e., is a prestigious MBA mandatory in the region?). I already have a post-MBA position

First year: how long without a full ramp up before I should worry? I’m sub-250 hours since I started (3.5 months) and the firm/group are both busy. Other first years in my group are mixed. Worried I’m missing the reps that first years are getting at other firms. Enjoying the freedom while I have it, but I’m still thinking this is odd. Any advice, action steps, anecdotes, etc. appreciated.

I’m a guy and sometimes I sit when I pee so that I make less of a mess and have to clean my bathroom less frequently. On the same note, I usually shit standing up which tends to be much messier

Best books about product management for a good exit to industry? I already have an MBA and PMP but looking for a refreshed perspective since it’s been years since my formal education.

Currently reading “Product Managements Sacred Seven” but it’s geared toward the startup world. I am in healthcare and not looking for a startup role. TIA!!!

With all these redundancies happening, how can we as a community help each other? We had a thread about new job opps, but it didn’t get much traction... Shall we try again?

More than a year since I made anything folio worthy. I have produced stuff, stuff that was very close to being good just before it was dramatically worsen by suits, clueless leadership and the production agency. I'm losing interest very quickly, and I don't want to

Why are some entries on the creative circle shortlist in red? Have they accidentally leaked the gold award winners?

Hey UK agency folks, Is it normal to expect a very experienced, award-winning illustrator with an extensive online portfolio to make pieces "on spec" to win a paying job?

How we all dealing with Rona times??? Hope you all ok 👍

I’m new to the country. This is a bit out there but where do you get an abortion? Do you need a referral through your GP? After that is there a long wait?

National insurance

how’s everyone feeling about this?

Quite miffed as I just got a small pay rise and now I think this plus the upcoming not rises in utilities and inflation will pretty much cancel it out.

This country is fucked lol

Anyone found the silver / bronze winners for Creative Circle yet?

Freelancers: what umbrella companies do you recommend? Had a bad experience w/ Parasol & looking for alternatives (avoiding the LTD/sole trader route as I can’t be bothered w/ invoicing/accounting).

Our senior creative leadership keep talking about winning Cannes Lions and D&AD pencils but none of them have actually won any since 2007 (that’s 14 years 😭 ) and between all three of them they’ve never won more than a couple of silvers, a couple of bronzes and a couple of in-books (that’s with a combined experience of over 60 years 😭). They have no clue 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭. Tell me something about your agency so that I can feel better about the hell-hole I find myself in🙏

My agency is making salary cut backs cause of covid-19. Whole agency at 80%. Because I'm on a junior salary in Manchester that means 80% is less than minimum wage. Do I have any rights?
