Digital Manager on £45k at U.K. Government funded project- role is thinly stretched (due to 2 ppl leaving) and now I’m: consulting for over 130 business providing digital and social media support while handling all marketing, content creation and communications for the project. Love it and impressing everyone but not getting paid well at all- what’s my next move? Background in content, creative direction, social media, e-comm & startups.

If I'm about to leave the firm, would not charging the client code to save budget be a nice gesture to the team, since my utilization won't matter?

Essence any good? Received a really competitive offer to work for their biggest client but tbh the interview process was quick and not sure how the culture is there! If anybody has any insights lmk! :-)

I’m a post-MBA healthcare project manager looking to jump to industry or consulting. Are there non-consultant roles/titles within firms that will give the varied experiences of consulting without the travel and grind?

My male boss takes the easy way out and re-uses “strategies” over and over, or he takes my work for one account and shoddily uses it for another. He gets frustrated with me when I point this out or question how he’s approaching a client problem. Others in the agency now come to me because they don’t like working with him. I don’t want to work for him anymore, but I also don’t think I want to leave the agency. I do get a lot of autonomy but seeing his output compared to mine is so frustrating.

Confession: I had a long week. My project team can’t agree on recommendations. But I love consulting so I will be getting extremely inebriated tonight!!! Cheers folks! Have a great safe and fun weekend!

Nearly a year out, my old agency keeps calling me for help on a platform/tool I'm an expert in. Should I broach the idea of a fee, and how would I go about doing so? I've never done any sort of freelance.

How do you stay motivated? Work can seem so futile at times, especially when you can’t figure out how to keep making progress

Partners - how do you feel about the forced retirement age at many of our firms? Are you counting down the days or trying to find a second/third act to your career? Would you stay longer if you could?

ATL based M&A Manager at Deloitte with a strategy and operations focus. 15+ years of both industry and consulting experience. Solid performer looking for the next opportunity. I'm seeking for either

PwC partners, what are some clear, historical examples of you changing your behaviour to better embody Be well work well

Partners, are you rich enough to have a YouTube premium account or do you still have to wait a few seconds to skip the ads ?

Partners - what is your advice to be successful as an SD? Starting to have a bit of imposter syndrome set in.

Would you ever feel guilty leaving your team for a great opportunity outside consulting? Would it ever be enough to pass up on the opportunity?

I’m leaving a firm partnership to start a firm with two other people. I haven’t worked with them but they’re highly recommended. I’m the only one with sales exp. How should we navigate equity/comp?

Analyst-level. Have to renege an offer I signed. @Partners would you prefer a candidate calls, sets a call up, or just leaves an email about it? I know it’s already bad but want to be as respectful as possible. Feels extra bad as had partner spend 45 mins answering Q&A and selling me earlier.

Partners: is it always the case when staff puts in their two weeks and leaving for a competitor they’re shown the door immediately, or does this vary by situation?

Partners - I started in Consulting after a technical masters and have worked for 3 consulting firms in 6 years across 2 countries. I am at a C level (Big4 M equivalent) at a boutique firm and wondering how the switches will be looked at at higher levels when I want to become a leader/partner.

Looking for advice: would you stay in partner pipeline at Big 4 or move to one of the MBBs as a principal? I am hearing that with Big 4 getting into strategy more, MBBs will be obsolete soon thoughts?

MD2......4 years until vested, a little more than 6 until I can comfortably retire. Love working with clients and practitioners, but SO tired of the politics/ego game. Is going internal an option?

Dear Partners, what do you consider the “Partner/Principal” mindset and priorities? What enables you to do full justice to the role, your teams and the rest of the partnership?

Anyone willing to share insight on PPMD life at Grant Thornton? I am assuming it is a smaller footprint, size, etc. and that there is a tradeoff versus a Big4 on staff and practice size/comp/quality of life/brutal hours otherwise it wouldn’t be worth it.

Doing due diligence for the very early stages of a conversation with them and trying to gather info.

Appreciate your thoughts.

Partners, how bad does it get before you made it? At what point do you call it quits on being on the partner track?

My mentor is a newly admitted partner in Big4. He just sold his first project as a partner, 1M fee give or take. On average, how many of these projects must he sell annually to meet the expectation and quota?

EY Partners: is it still worth becoming a partner at EY Advisory considering the split?

It feels like long term EY will end up like Accenture where the profit pool is split with public shareholders. If you compare Accenture MDs at the same level as EY they make about 50% less because of that. Keen to get some views on this.
