What inspired you to pursue your current career path? I’m feeling very uninspired in my role and I’m trying to decide if I do a career switch or not.

I imagine my inspiration story was pretty typical, I had access to a computer early on and became curious about how it worked. I was lucky to get some encouragement, and it led to a career path, such as it is. I can relate to feeling uninspired at times, while I find my work interesting it doesn't usually feel like there's some greater purpose to it. Perhaps that's just adulthood setting in, you begin to realize that making a living is not necessarily going to change the world.

I get what you mean—so much of work can feel like it’s about keeping things running rather than changing the world. I think there’s value in that too, though—it’s still solving problems and contributing in ways that matter, even if it’s not always glamorous.

I really resonate with this. What originally inspired me was the idea of blending creativity with problem-solving—I liked the idea that marketing could be both analytical and imaginative. But I’ve definitely had seasons where I felt uninspired too. Sometimes it’s less about a complete switch and more about finding new projects or areas that reignite your interest.

Hi all,
I wanted to know if anyone was having issues with their pharma branded Instagram accounts? My brand’s account was fine yesterday and now when you search it it’s not on IG. It’s a business account so it’s fully public. I reached out to a few brand managers and it’s hit or miss on if they’re brand is found. Cleared caches, incognito browser, and all. I’m not sure if IG is down or if something changed with IG and pharma accounts.

Working as CAL Manager with Accenture S&C India. Offered ~GBP 76.5K (fixed plus flexi) at Manager Grade by Deloitte London.

Prior to Accenture, I have already served as S&O Manager with Deloitte India for ~1.5 yrs - so this would be my second stint with Deloitte as Manager "again".

2 questions:
1. Should I ask for Senior Mgr (AD) grade - to which they have already said NO
2. Is GBP 76.5K sitting at the lower end of M grade in Deloitte UK? What should be a good expectation for the role

Just finishing my first week in as an audit intern and genuinely I have no idea what I'm doing or even a general idea of the audit process. The senior associate left the engagement last week so it's just me and an associate, and they don't have time to give me instruction.

Am I stupid or did the e-learns not prepare me for any of this? The training told me I'd be auditing cash but I haven't even touched a bank reconciliation.

If you asked to be considered for early promotion and didn’t get it (despite being highly rated, exceeding billable goal, etc) would you look elsewhere? Is it right to be angry about it? I don’t want to spin myself up unnecessarily if it’s unjustified
