What is it with EY people posting on LinkedIn that they completed a class and earned a badge? Even Partners who are oh so proud they passed a “transformational leadership” class. How about go sell more work so fewer people get laid off.

It’s a big push in the firm right now. TBH, it’s cringe ASF. I’m embarrassed every time one of my friends posts one.

You honestly think a prospective client is impressed that a consulting partner passed a class? Find any senior client on LinkedIn and see if they post nonsense like that.

One of the partners in my practice posted the transformational leadership badge on his LinkedIn yesterday and now I’m wondering if you belong to my group, OP 😂

funny

No but sadly I’m friends with a bunch of them - honestly embarrassed that they do this - consultants get a bad enough rap from clients who think we are a bunch of self promoting whatever’s - this just reinforces their views.

This made me smile. Got my badge (first round of PPEDs to get them, so yeah your probably starting to see some posts out there). When you “claim” it, it asks if you want to post to your social media sites to let people know. I literally stared at my screen laughing - like, wow, really?! Apparently some did not have that same reaction and posted 😆

I might be very lucky that I didn’t join Google before the summer as I’m not stressed about potential layoffs… but on the other hand i do feel unlucky to finally fulfill my dream and make it through the recruitment process, only to get stuck in the team-matching stage. And then the freeze.. how long can people stay on the list until they get hired? Or does your place on the list ever expire?Google

I think everyone will agree with this that in last 1-2 years we have seen a tremendous change in Indian IT industry and tremendous growth in Salaries and negotiations.

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.
