What was your biggest "oh-shit-I'm-getting-fired-for-this" moment in consulting?

I am interviewing for a Sr. Program Manager role at Adobe. Glass door says ~252k. What a typical base would be? How does adobe feel in the market right now as far as layoffs and expansions?

Most staff/sr assoc would make 80% of salary for the next 4 months if fired & yet firms are considering pay cuts.

Like at this point just fire me idk what kool aid some of you are drinking

We use Deloitte India for a number of parts of our delivery. Recently I have seen some unethical practices that violate labor laws and do not align with Deloitte principles. My manager says it isn’t my problem as they are a vendor but I can’t help thinking I have an ethical responsibility to do something. Any advice as to how to approach this without being fired?

I was recently laid off and I am actively search for a new role. I am mainly targeting Business Analyst, ScrumMaster, Product Analyst, roles but I am open to others.

Must be located in Austin, Texas or fully remote.

Constantly worried I’m going to get fired because I don’t know where I stand at my mid sized law firm (second year associate).

After 10 years of working as a FTE PM/producer I’ve now been laid off (thanks Covid) and am looking to start freelancing for the first time. What advice do you have for a new freelance PM/producer?
Also, what kind of insurance do you take out as a freelancer?

Will there be any layoffs in GDS?

I think I have work trauma not sure how it’s clouding my ability to make decisions. I’ve had unstable work after being laid off from a company 3 years ago. I thought I worked out a plan to get to a stable place but my job is proving to be unstable yet again. I secured a FT role at another company but because it’s a lot less money I’m unsure because I feel very cynical about companies in general. I assume it’ll be just like all the rest but now I’ll just be making less and could get laid off.

Can you get fired for having low utilization as a senior? My billable hours this busy season have been much lower than my peers.

If you do something on the side for extra cash (like drive for Uber) then lose your agency job in a layoff, does your little side gig disqualify you from collecting unemployment?

Hi, received an offer from another Big4 in Amsterdam (currently working in Eastern Europe), but relocating, I’m concerned about potential layoffs in the coming period being the last to join the team.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Just got laid off today.... anyone hiring account executives? 3 years experience working across integrated campaigns in multiple industries. Hungry and eager to get back into the weeds!!

Got laid off today at deloitte. Is anyone hiring

Deloitte US just announced layoffs. Any other B4 started layoffs too ?

Hey folks!

Does Deloitte India (not Deloitte USI) ever cancel on the job offer they have given (like cancelling on the candidate at the last moment, well after releasing the offer letter)?

Hey all thinking of relocating from Canada to Indiana. What is the average pay for an RN at parkview?

If I get an offer in Europe would it be difficult to transfer back to the USA?

Hi, I have 12+ YOE with dev experience in Mainframe and testing experience in Guidewire Insurance portals. Can anyone refer me to suitable jobs

Do you feel, as members of our community in advertising (a privilege we share in having a voice in media but also cultural persuasion) that you should lean into brands taking advantage of the opportunity to capitalize on our community or steer them away from that but also refocus their minds to a more long term diverse creative solution?

Second year associate here. How should I deal with the one partner in my practice group who seems to exclusively give me lousy assignments that we’ll never get paid for? I get great work from everyone else.

If I’m at a T2 (OW/LEK/ATK) strategy shop, would going to a T3 MBA (Darden, Fuqua, Stern, Tuck, etc) improve my current brand, or more so keep neutral....have no doubt the M7 would enhance, but struggling to see huge upside in the others given the financial & time investment required

How long is the notice period at your firm usually?

Is anyone willing to have a conversation to provide a referral to Google? I am looking at a strategy and ops role at the Google operations center. I have 4+ years at Deloitte ( currently a senior consultant up for manager ) and am trying to move into Tech. Any advice is appreciated!

Company has low base pay but offers "meaningful raise" after few months good performance. Can I ask them to define that?

What is the best solution for home security? ADT, Xfinity. Viviant, etc.? I live in SF Bayarea.

We are having a group dinner at Black Tap on 35th and 6th at 7:00 this Saturday for NYC folks. Come join us and make new friends :)

How much does it cost to put a pressurized wall? Any recommendations with good prices?

Guys, anyone knows when offices are opening again?

Can anyone at Visa Inc refer me for an open position?. The job number is REF018545W.

@Visa inc

This is my first post being a PRO member! :D

What firms (consulting and industry) have good medical benefits? (Using BCG's as my baseline for good)

Know this may be a long shot in terms of actual responses but:
@PPMDs, what are your thoughts on the current/impending COVID specific layoffs at your firm?

E.G. Glad for the opportunity to reduce the headcount of mid performing SMs with little/no chance of making PPMD? Sad to see a firm you’re a part of undergo such unforeseen circumstances?

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.

How to deal with being rejected from a consulting job you want?

We've all been there (not just me I hope). It's so frustrating when the consulting one is a tough hill to climb. Has joining a smaller management consulting firm ever worked out for anyone?

I'd like to hope one day I could get into big 4 or even MBB.

🐠 Fam - What’s a good whiteboard solution for my home office? What do you use and from where do I get it? Thanks!

Mulling over an offer. Is work at MBB way more work / significantly more intense than Big 4? I feel like I have a good brand/rep at EY; not sure if effort to rebuild all of that at MBB is worth it?

What is success? To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends...

What's the average SM salary?

Book recommendations on leadership, career development, etc?

FAANG folks - what are Facebook/Google roles like Country Lead/Industry Lead equivalent to? Are these Director level roles? What sort of compensation can you expect in something like that role?

Has anyone switched to a standing desk? Do you feel more productive? Was it worth it? Did you switch at the office or at your home?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

Poll: What dress code do you follow at your home office?

About to fly out of MCO. Please keep me in your thoughts that I won't punch a tourist.

Definitely not a fan of Westin's "Eat Well" proposition. I'm working in the room at 2:00 AM and the most appetizing menu item is a cold turkey avocado and arugula wrap. I just want a burger and fries!

Anyone from Slalom on this thing? Anyone in the NY metro and how much do you make going from a manager to Slalom?

How best to tell the offshore team that they need to be aware of time zone differences and not try to reach me at 1 am or send a meeting invite for 5:30 am at midnight? Without sounding condescending?

Can I swap laptop models without a reason? I hate my HP and would prefer one of the thinner lenovos..

Serious question: Sheraton cancelled my reservation and I was stranded for a night last night. Called CS and my useless ambassador and they cant help and “sorry”. How do I escalate this?
