Typical for most companies in the U.K. is 1 month for the first 6-12months then moves to 3months after that. You can often negotiate some wiggle room though.

You can ask and you might get. If you’re not chargeable then it’s possible they will let you go earlier.

At Deloitte i believe its 2 months until you reach Manager (Senior Consultant in Consulting), then its 3 months

3 months from SC, you’ll have variable wiggle room depending on the team (I had a huge amount of grief trying to shave mine down), but I’m aware of other BUs that are more pragmatic about it

like

At pwc, 1 month for associates & 3 months for senior associates (that is AGES)

Operate or risk don't count as consulting. Sorry.

KPMG is 3 months from assistant manager onwards.

3 months from SC/M and above

3 months?!?! Definitely should have looked into this before I moved. I was checked out the first day of my 2 week notice period in the States.

Mine is 3 months as a SA if that helps

Hey friends! So I left PwC (risk assurance, did a bit of consulting) about 4 years ago for industry, and have been working in supply chain ever since for a major retailer. Recently, a recruiter from Protiviti reached out to talk to me about open roles in supply chain consulting, and I’m trying to decide if this would be a good move or not. I know it wouldn’t be quite the same as the hours as big 4, but I don’t know enough to be sure if it’s the right fit. Any advice?

I am a Manager at a big 4 international tax considering switch to M&A Tax in another big 4 or a prestigious firm International Tax group but with more structure work. Which one is better for a long-term plan (~2 years) of going to private with a mid/upper management position that is not compliance oriented? As for me, I was heavy on compliance until recent and wanted to focus on getting planning experience and management skills forward. I am a CPA and an attorney, but not a JD.

Dm me for business analyst qa and testing roles ... happy to refer in Accenture.

Working on a campaign and I wrote the first version of the script that was chosen. My CW partner crafted it and then I made revisions. It’s been a super collaborative process and so rewarding. We’re both so proud of this piece. It’s manifesto-y and the writing is what makes it sing, so it hurts a little (or a lot) when my partner gets tons of praise from like, THE TOP, for the writing and doesn’t acknowledge me. Do ADs ever get co-writing credits? Do I just need to get over my ego? *big exhale*
