I was under the impression it was essentially consulting or interim management of PE portfolio companies but I imagine there is more to it than that

Achieve synergies

Try and fail to achieve the absolutely egregious and impossible targets that the deal team and DD consultants “identified.”

I can actually comment on this as the company I work for was bought by a PE firm 5 years ago!

Our CEO is a partner from the PE firm that purchased our org, and 3 out of 8 board members are also from the PE firm. Our CEO basically does what you would call "PE ops" and lead the turnaround of the company.

Republicans... in hindsight, do you think it was a political miscalculation to have Pence on the ticket? Seems to me it would have been advantageous to have someone firmly in the Trump camp - like Alex Jones - as his VP to galvanize the base and put more daylight between the Trump ticket and Biden’s mainline political position. Thoughts?

How do you handle remote teams being in different time zones?

So at this point we’re working from 8am until like 11pm and nobody knows what to do to push back on it

I have been giving a few interviews lately and every Company is asking me to confirm if i can get my NP reduced from 90 Days to 45 or 60 Days. I'm still under probation but assigned to a Project already. Should I ask my Account Manager and HR about it or its unethical to do so. Am i making a mistake to ask and confirm about NP even before my offer letter or its ok to just enquire what's the process and possibility to reduce NP as we have buyout option too.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
