Watching House of Lies at the end of my consulting career hits differently than the first time I watched it, 10 years ago at the start of my consulting career. It's like watching Disney movies as a kid, then rewatching them as an adult and picking up on the grown up-oriented jokes the writers slide in there.

Watching it with my spouse who works in Big Tech and rails against the corporate capitalist overloads adds another dimension, too.

NFT peeps, get a Doodle while you still can. Bought mine for 1.5 ETH last week. Now at 3.9 floor. Other collections that I think have a lot of potential: Lil Baby Ape Club, Cosmic Labs ducks, Party Apes, and Stoner Cats. Cool Cats are pricey. Little Alien Club is super duper cheap but a total Hail Mary gamble.

Most awkward Uber stories? My uber driver showed me a picture of her baby. Um, it was a doll.

I have a rogue 1st year analyst who is promising things to a client he has no business promising. He shouldn't even be talking to the client. This kid isn't gonna last long.

Which offer is better?
€100K per year in Netherlands (with 30% ruling) OR
45000 AED / month in Dubai?

For a family with a kid.
Tech stack: SRE/DevOps/ Cloud architect
People staying in Europe and dubai please comment.

My priorities: Long term stay, better education , quality life, location with better security, law n order and less hussels.

I have got an offer based in Boblingen, Germany with 60k euro as fixed. Will it be enough for a couple with a 3 year old kid ? My major expense would be accommodation, groceries, kid’s school and transportation. Please do let me know your valuable inputs. TIA

Is the EY 16 week maternity pay 100% of the salary ? I was reading the FAQs and could not find anything that said 100 % of pag provided in the 16 weeks of eligible time off.

Chem classroom social media. Do you use it? I have recently started and had a lot of success this year in terms of student and parent engagement. Please feel free to follow @johnstonchemistry on IG

Your child asks you if they should become a nurse. What do you say?

I have a friend who spent the last 4 yrs as a stay-at-home dad caring for his special needs child. He’s ready to get back in the workforce and make a career change to IT. How does he get started?

Going on a parental leave in a month. Anyone know of any remote, freelance/part time I can do to still make money on the side? Out side of Uber/Lyft etc

Sandor Clegane is such a man-child. Throwing stones for no reason and almost getting everyone killed.

Fly day horror story...screaming child 😩

Tomorrow they are requiring masks again and I was almost in tears when I found out. We have been mask free (recommended) since June and I feel like we are being muzzled again. I am vaccinated, frustrated, and have been off of antidepressants since March. I don’t even want to go into work tomorrow. Anything is better than being virtual and I am trying to look at the bright side, but moving backward still burns. We have parent-teacher conferences coming up and I am hoping that it’s temporary.

Just recently found out Im pregnant and another 33 week wait looks like forever. Any tips to cope with it?

I just got a really great offer, only downside is the eligibility for maternity leave is after 12 months of employment. We got a faint positive today but have had so many chemical pregnancies over the past year that I am not confident it will stick this time BUT I am on aspirin and progesterone for this try … so it could.. I want to see if I could negotiate being eligible earlier but I also don’t want them to think I’m pregnant when I’m not actually… How would you approach the conversation?

Do you have many LGBT friends and do you necessarily care if you do or don’t? I have one gay friend who I catch up with occasionally and I think my husband has two. I never really cared either way about it, however I feel like I’m at that point where you primarily make new friends through existing ones, and they are having children and making other “parent” friends. Between that and living in a SFH neighborhood in the suburbs, I’ve changed my viewpoint over the last few months.

I have been searching for job from quite a long time and all I have seeing HR/Panels asking for
1. Number of implementation projects done.
2. Work experience on S4 Hana.

And if I don't have atleast any one of these, I will not be considered.

Is it really that important ?

Being joined as a fresher - Is it really something that I can decide whether to be in support or implementation project ?

Is upgrading of ECC to S4 Hana in my hands ? And the difference is really that vast ?

Hello all! Has anyone completed the Professional Certificate in Product Management program with Kellogg Northwestern?

I’m currently a technical project manager looking to pivot into Product Management. I’m wondering - is this investment worth it? Interested to hear your thoughts.

For context, I graduated in December 2021 with a business degree and have 1-1/2 professional experience in tech/marketing/project management.

Thanks in advance!

All you first person shooter players should feel good today. Prosecutors hopefully have gotten the message that bringing ones call of duty playing into a murder trial is incredibly ridiculous.

What is your experience with The Bill Good Marketing system?

Hey 🇬🇧 🐠,
Has anyone ever invested in an EIS or VCT?
It appears to be very tax efficient and was wondering if any had any experience (returns, good fund manager, ...)to share ?

Started the morning by accidentally stealing Uber with the same car and reservation name as mine from the same apartment complex (realized it twenty seconds in and had dude turn around) Happy Monday!

I like consulting but the multiple project workload sucks. I have 5 active projects and I’m barely scraping by on each one. I’m just surviving week by week. I could do such an amazing job on these projects if I had 2-3 instead. Sucks

Fellow EY 🐟. I left EY recently after two happy years there. How can I get the pension money back? I had around $1500 there and they are not able to help in EY-HELP3.

Im surrreeeee this has been covered before (sorry) but search is Tumi Tumi Tumi (are they paying ppl commission here?). How do I start small-time investing in shares? Help please :)

Any really impactful books that have helped you career-wise? Not necessarily consulting focused. In need of guidance and a new book so figured I'd kill two birds with one stone or whatever.

Confronted client today about partner forcing us to travel while client site has travel restrictions. As a result is team is remote next week. Counting down days till I get rolled off/fired now lol

Is there a hard limit on how frequent you can apply in a year at FAANG? (For instance: Amazon, Google)

Also, how many positions are we allowed to apply?
There are just many positions at different teams right.

About rolling off my project with no new project opportunity yet. I’m already getting anxious and can’t have a full night rest with the worry of not finding a project soon and eventually getting laid off. Although I tend to stress-out easily but this type of anxiety is different. Are others feeling the same way? Also over 90% chargeability and great reviews, but seems like that may not matter with the recent layoff stories I’ve read....

ACN peeps: I quit the firm last week. Will my PTO payout just come with my last paycheck?

McKinsey fishes: I’m now in final round of interviews. Realized I don’t know anything about the benefits package. What are the key things you like about benefits, e.g. the free health plans?

Any book recommendations for philosophy, psychology, and business? Or any book you read last year changed your values? Going to fly international, gonna read it on flight. 😍
