Has anyone traveling to Canada recently? I am planning to go for four days and part of the documentation is to use the ArriveCAN app which has you complete a questionnaire. One of the questions on there is whether or not you have a suitable quarantine plan, in the event that border control requires you too. I guess I would just extend my stay at the hotel if required, does anyone know if that's an acceptable answer if asked by border control?

Hi ,

I how many days do we receive mail/ communication regarding the interview after the first round (technical & management round) in TCS .

Can anyone help in this??

Why does my left arm keep getting numb when I sleep on my back? Anyone experience this?

A team of 2 starting a very niche consulting firm want me to join and lead the first engagement. I’m very confident in them & the product/market fit. Do I ask for an ownership stake?

African American 🐟 - why do I feel so annoyed when I hear “black” ads on the radio? With the sassy female leads and the urban slang and such. Feels so forced and wack. Just me?

Client gets distracted driving ticket. Pros adds no ops charge but it’s not on the ticket. Issue or not? He hasn’t received a new ticket.

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?

Hello! I’m going to BSchool in August. Any recommendations on books / websites / videos to be more prepared for management consulting interviews?

How much do partners at big 4 make on average? How bout MBB?

if there's no pension anymore and a significantly lesser lump sum payout, why become a partner at EY?

When you hear that staff 1s we're just laid off... 😳

If I need Friday 4-5pm to go to a doctor's appointment, do I need to set a meeting invite to my manager in order not to be fired?

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

Any book recommendations for someone who worries way too much about work? Have already read The Subtle Art...looking for other good ones? Specific to consulting would be awesome!

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.

Hi, I am a PhD student and I have recently started preparing for consulting. I have gone through basics of framework and have watched few YouTube videos.
