All the reimbursement and other stuff which goes to partner for approval , does partner actually sits and review all those and approves it or does he have any secretary or assistant to approve all that.

Currently 4 expenses(1 internet, 2 Cab, 1 Flight) which are awaiting partners approval and I am really concerned if he's gonna come shouting at me 😂

Confronted client today about partner forcing us to travel while client site has travel restrictions. As a result is team is remote next week. Counting down days till I get rolled off/fired now lol

Have some big trips planned for next year so I would like to upgrade my Delta gold AMEX to Platinum (need that MQD waiver 💸). I heard that if I upgrade I won’t get the 50k sign-up bonus miles, so should I just close my gold card (not my oldest card) and open a new Platinum one?

Staying at a Hilton currently and have had tons of minor issues in the 3 days We’ve been here. Room wasn’t ready for 45min after check in time, AC did not work, maids did not clean room...continued

The Delta fast track promo to status expired did I just miss it? It was 4 8 16 one ways for silver gold platinum. I guess they really were giving it away

I am new to United Silver and I purchase economy tickets. Is the best strategy to check in exactly 24 hours ahead and switch my seat to an open economy plus seat?

Planning my 30th birthday trip (April 2021) and considering either going to Abu Dhabi or Buenos Aires for a week. 5 star accommodations in both cities, flight and hotel combined come out to the same for both. Never been to either. Opinions?

Consultants who’ve switched to tech firms in mid career (~7 yoe): what are your roles now, what was your consulting expertise, how did u pivot? Yes I’m googling too, this is part of my research. Thx!!

Best consulting firms (including boutiques) if you want to do product design/development

Any book recommendations about human psychology / thought processes?

Shall I disclose reason for leaving a firm during my initial call with a recruiter from said firm, if I was laid off? Are they privy to that information. Ironically being recruited by that same firm

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?

For KPMG experienced hire managers, how long did it take you to make director? I’ll be starting at the highest band of manager and looking for promotion in Spring/summer. Any experiences to share?

Would you accept a job offer that’s very covid specific? Like all of the role is designed around the orgs response to covid/its impact on employees. My concern is that... what happens to this role when everything is settled and there’s no more responding left to do?

Managers that dont do anything to contribute to delivery ever, what’s your deal? i’m not talking about good managers who are cogent, articulate, and genuinely good at being...a manager. I’m talking about those that have a “i finally get a seat at the table and will delegate and do nothing else” mentality.

Left a career in banking for consulting. Ended up working on M&A post merger/Documentation as I’ve experience in the field. Life is funny.

Is anyone else getting angrier / more frustrated than usual at team members who are not pulling their weight? Wondering if our permanent virtual working situation is exacerbating all the less than positive feelings that naturally occur (sometimes) while working and teaming...?
