we went from hard physical labor to white collar desk jobs but now that technology has progressed so far we’re returning to our roots and having people work more hard physical labor work

is everything really just a circular cycle

Do you keep your clearance if you quit your organization?

Is anyone’s wfh office chair getting less “springy” over time? Mine just doesn’t have the same umph it had before, constantly lowering throughout the day.

ACN 🐠 Received offer to join Accenture Strategy T&O as a manager. How’s the culture and work? Is strategy the way to go? I’m having this gut feeling T&O might not be as strong as ACN is claiming?

Hi Fishers,

Can anyone please refer me for boutique management consulting firms as I have less than 1 year of experience and I think it's hard for me to get into top consulting firms. I am looking for a job as I want to switch to management consulting.

I would also like to know what upskilling should I do to be a better fit for management consulting. I currently work as a Market research analyst.

Any help from the community will be really helpful. Thanks in Advance!

NYC struggles: 1st paycheck to rent, 2nd to pay off credit cards. Almost none for savings. Maybe it's time to rethink my lifestyle of drinks and debauchery ✌️

Any controllers in here? If so what industry are you in and how do you enjoy it. I’ve always wanted to be a controller but not sure that’s still a goal as of yet.

For those who have asked to switch clients, does it make a drastic difference? Currently so bored with my main client but not sure if grass is always greener. Thanks.

There is almost nowhere to find reliable bonus information on Canadian firms. I’ve heard of year end bonuses ranging from 10-50% this year (not including Covid bonuses). Let’s start a thread posting year of call, rough billable hours worked and bonus as a percent of salary.

5 year call. 1850 hours. 10%.

How many billable hours do people in prosecution tend to average each month? I’ve gone through waves of feeling like my billable hours requirement is reasonable to feeling like I’m drowning and can’t possibly do it for that long.

Up for an in house position at Big 4 consulting. What is the salary range? Anyone have insight? Anyone have insight on the work life balance?

Which one is easier? Join FDD from FAAS or Audit?

Does anyone know how to join a sports league in the Arlington or dc area? I’m a amateur so I don’t know if that would be looked down upon

Amex platinum vs CSR??

Lateral that just went through first bonus season with the firm. Not in a major market but workload is comparable to major markets. Surprised at how low the bonus was. I received solid reviews and my annualized hours were well above the requirement. Should I approach anyone about this? Wondering if it is worth addressing or if it could compromise my standing. Thanks in advance!

What's a typical Deloitte human capital manager salary in the Houston office?

McKinsey or BCG or Bain? Offers from all and now deciding.

Hired as SA1. if my utilization is low for round table but I’ve gotten good Snapshots will I go up to SA2 or SA1B, which I don’t want of course.

How long is your flight delayed before you ask for compensation?

Does anyone worry about / NOT want to be promoted? I’m an Associate and the thought of one day managing people as an SA or manager is really unappealing and terrifying to me

WANTED: Someone to go back in time with me. This is not a joke. You'll get a charge code after we get back. Must bring own weapons. Safety not guaranteed. I have only done this once before.

Two SMDs telling a story about flying and I say something like "that's why I refuse to get a middle seat"...They look at me puzzled for a few seconds then realize I'm talking about coach. 😭

I’m so depressed, have been for years, and don’t see it getting better. I’ve tried everything from therapy, exercise, psychiatry, journaling, self help books, healthy diet, etc. what else is there?

Best books on leadership and sales skills?

Commercial vs Public sector/Federal Consulting within the Big 4 or MBB. Differences in culture, types of work, wlb, exit opportunities, etc

So I’m in industry from big 4, and a colleague with same yoe comes from MBB. High paying tech firm. I think I work harder and produce quality content at speed, but they can hold executive conversations that tend to impress senior stakeholders.

Big 4 produces work horses and MBB produces leaders. Also they could be a work horse too since I don’t have full visibility.

Anyone have similar experiences or do I just suck at executive stakeholder management?

How do you not directly or awkwardly request regular feedback on your work?

Feel like idk if I rock or I suck since all deliverables are just accepted

I've been biking to my home office everyday so I've been wearing gym clothes and bringing a change of clothes with me. When I get in the morning how long can I sit at my desk before going to change?

Need to rebook a cancelled AA flight. Can I use it to rebook for me + other people?

Anybody in BCG PIPE?

Any recommendations for best newsletters to subscribe to, everyone?:)

🐠 Fam - What’s a good whiteboard solution for my home office? What do you use and from where do I get it? Thanks!

Hey everyone,
I have a BSc degree from a semi-target university in the United Kingdom, and I currently have around 2 years of strategy consultancy experience at a Big 4 in one of Africa's most competitive economies. I'm looking to step into consulting in Dubai/ Abu Dhabi (MBB, Tier 2, boutiques, etc.).
Any referrals?
Thanks
