What’s good for a first day outfit? Says business casual...I’m coming from finance where everyday is stilettos and Brooks Brothers or a suit. I don’t want to seem stuffy or stuck up :(. Help?

My typical outfit when I go into the office is black aritzia pants, a nice top, & nice booties if it’s winter- Accenture offices are pretty laid back dress code wise

Funny I’m joining ACN soon and have tht same thought. I like to dress up so I’ll still come in a blazer pencil and stilettos. Still plan to wear my suits and other dressy stuff but will just get a lay of the land first.

We have a business casual dress code and new hires always dress nicer than business casual for the first few days. I think it’s a good thing that they choose to dress nicer and meet everyone before they start dressing casually. That being said, I don’t think you can go wrong with some black dress pants and a top (or sweater if you’re in a cold city). Would recommend booties/flats/sandals over stilletos but either way don’t overthink it and be confident!

What firm?

Accenture

Which office? Are you going into the Accenture office? Or client?

Still could wear those stilettos if you want but the jeans will definitely ensure you don’t look stuffy :)


If jeans feels like a no i would do dress pants and dress shirt no blazer. Maybe with some booties or flats

My first day I wore black jeans, heels, a shirt that can be dressed up or down, and a blazer and it worked pretty well. As things progressed it changed more from a blazer to a sweater and often flats.

Hey, I am appearing for a pre-sales engineer interview. It will be a sort of role-play demo session, where the team will want to understand how I present, how I manage a room, how I keep my audience engaged and also your technical abilities when asked regarding the solution. I have a liberty to choose any data science related product. I am essentially confused as to what product to choose, and how to structure the presentation. I would highly appreciate tips and suggestions. Thanks

Somewhat Deloitte specific, but the Deloitte bowl is mean so posting here

I’m up for promotion this year, and I’ve been working so hard and my feedback is amazing and I’ve wanted this for awhile. Now, an immediate relative is actively dying and I may go out on a short leave, and I also have some PTO planned so that I can visit family oversees later this fall. With all that’s happening, I’m not going to hit my 90% utilization target, which is a checkbox in my promo. (cont).

Been passed over for promotion twice (had support from multiple partners both times). Received the top performance rating every year since joining the firm (6 years), which I’ve heard is rare. When passed over, the partners say there were others who have been waiting longer (not necessarily with the highest ratings) and that I should “keep doing what I’m doing” and basically wait my turn. Anyone else face this and have any suggestions/guidance?
