WFH/Remote Covid Poll

Does anyone maybbbbbe think that this new “spike” in corona virus cases could be possibly caused by these massive riots in every major city? Not saying the riots are bad or wrong, but let’s not kid ourselves and say these aren’t a contributing factor. So when people are surprised at the USAs rising rates, I mean come on...

Any actual Corona virus patients here or any with impacted family??

Do you check emails on the weekend because of covid wfh situation/generally? Or check email but wait to reply on Monday unless an urgent response is required?

Bf just tested positive for COVID and we’ve been more careful than 95% of people that I know 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ is 2020 over yet

I don't want to get vaccinated. I have debilitating anxiety, asthma, severe allergies to everything under the sun and afraid of a reaction. I have recently recovered from Covid too. I hate how ostracized society friends work everything is making me feel about this decision, which I know is only an inevitability at this point because my family is overseas and I can't not see them for the rest of my life. Anyone else in the same boat as me? PS. If ur here to bash on me keep it moving.

Been logging serious hours from my home standing desk. Or, as I like to call it, the ironing board. WFH life hacks.

It’s been a grueling 18 months, for everyone. There’s a unique story I’d like to share and it’s my own but I have to believe it’s not only mine. I was privileged enough to be able to WFH during the pandemic and change jobs to a fully remote job during this time. The isolation has become so complete, with the lack of connection and professional rapport or daily respect/clarity thru slack convos and sporadic zoom - I’m at an all time mental low barely able to start this Monday morning.

I’m exhausted and need a week off. No one can cover me on this project. Feeling really stuck. Even a week of working remote would be a big gain.

Any news on when offices are going to reopen?? Will it be mandatory to be WFO. Can we opt for perm. Wfh???? Please give updates on your company policies on this matter.

My parents are flying back from Seattle to India on Sunday. I don’t live there but taking them to see the city before their return. Where around Seattle downtown can I get a COVID test that can give the result in 24 hours.

Soooooo what happens after the 2 weeks of wfh...?

Having a hard time emotionally...project started pre-covid and I was told it will be about identifying process improvement opps within supply chain. Then ends up becoming this whole headcount reduction initiative! I feel so sad 😕 this is not why I joined this practice. Idk how do I cope? Please don’t say things like grow thicker skin, it’s our job.

Due to COVID, Deloitte in Australia just announced 20% pay cuts, still working 5 days a week, and no promotions till January 2021. What would you do, what’s the options?

Would you live in fidi if there was a covid discount? In early 20s and worried it’s a very quiet / boring area but have found a nice luxury building discounted wifi lots of amenities.

Do people need to get stimulus checks is their job was not impacted by covid and they continue to be employed?

I have benefitted so much from WFH. I’ve had more time to cook, exercise, and get more sleep. The dread of returning to the office is getting to me and I hope we don’t have to return to the office again soon.

My last day at my current job is Wednesday and I’m not starting my new job until 10/4. My health insurance ends on midnight Wednesday. What should I do for those 10 days in between? Seems ridiculous to pay for COBRA for only 10 days.

Working in Europe temporarily. Have an option to do Executive MBA, it’s around 70-90k Euros for an year. Another option I have is doing part time PhD in Management. It’s around 35-40k Euros for 4 years. Any thoughts on which one would be more useful? Currently work in a T2 in their digital practice. Had plans of shifting to MBB 3-4 years back but lost interest after

Are there some things or types of work you all did at your firm that might help with MBA admissions? Beyond the actual “work”? Thanks!

Just sitting here thinking.. Dang, I got a 3% annual raise. I feel worthless to my firm. I should leave.

Consulting broadly has a structured promotion system (A/SA to C/SC to M to SM to MD/P)... does investment banking have a similar structure?

What do you think is total comp for IB right out of MBA at a near top firm?

Anyone looking for a freelance graphic designer or illustrator? Just got laid off, and could use something to hold me over.

I am sure it’s been asked 100 times but humor me please. Best office chair to add to the good I’m doing with a stand up desk? Lol. Would love to stay in a reasonable range if possible (800 max)

In other news: Deloitte is full of trolls that are trying to convince you you're about to be laid off.

Given the current scenario, seems like getting laid off is a very real possibility. What is the severance package like at EY, PwC, Deloitte? Just curious

I am working for 12-14 hours a day in a non client facing role at one of the big 4. What are some of the exit opportunities I can think of in the next 1-2 years? I want to have a 9-6 job with decent pay.

Can someone give me an idea of payscale range in Singapore at a manager level for MBB? - Fixed + Variable. Asking for a friend since I don't have any known contact in my network

The number of apps/utility tools we’re using is ridiculous. I probably spend an hour of my day just reading Basecamp 2, Basecamp 3, Wrike, Microsoft Teams, and slack notifications

I need to travel to India for my sisters wedding in November. I also need to get H1B stamping done for first time. In India only emergency appointments are available. What should I do?

Wharton EMBA worth it? Late career starter so limited white collar experience but interesting background/past life. Also have kids to support so can’t do a full time program. Want the MBA for career boost ($), as an entry to faang/MBB and to have more security for future opportunities. Worth it? Does the EMBA have the same faang/MBB recruitment access and weight as full time?

Currently evaluating an offer from a data analytics-focused consulting firm, with the ultimate goal of moving to the investing world (e.g. a hedge fund). Is this a possible exit opp? Trying to figure out my paths

Chicago Tribune: Huge crowd gathers at Rotary Hill near Naperville District 203 offices to demand area schools reopen. Hundreds of Naperville-area parents & students rallied Monday to urge local school boards to bring students back to the classroom and the playing field. Hmm...so all these parents just want to send their kids into schools do die, right? And kill all the teachers and their families too. All out of pure selfishness.
