Not true - Bain has real talent leads who manage staffing and do it very well

Maybe it's your group or trade? I've been staffed quickly every time so far in S&C, my MD gave me contacts for the incoming pipeline and they were desperate to have my skill set / industry background. I'm at manager level, experience hire.

I think it’s not too difficult to get staffed. But it’s harder to get staffed on projects you see yourself enjoying and building a career with. Especially if you’re eyeing a specific exit like “Product” or “Data Science”.

Work in cyber at pwc and they’re good at staffing us.

I have been at ACN for 1 year and have remained staffed . What worked for me was making friends with my HR contact, the two projects I’ve been on so far came straight from her placing me directly and having the hiring manager contact me. I left my last project because it did not align with my interest and explaining that to her and she found me something that did align. I was a campus hire. 🤷‍♀️. I guess everything really is what you make of it.
Now with the network I have so far I am confident I shouldn’t have issues been staffed either from my network from past project (my old manager still reaches out for help etc) or my current project since it’s a huge account.

We technically have resource managers but at least the ones in my group are pretty useless and you basically have to figure things out for yourself or else you’ll be on the bench forever

like

Yep, as per my comment above, ACN has HRCA counselors and they’re sitting there doing nothing while 5,000 people are on the bench.

Not exactly sure what you’re looking for. You can look for yourself or you can deal with what they find. Or for a third option is that a project may find you.

Are you hoping that your HR rep will find the perfect role that you love and override the project to get you staffed there?

At pwc the deployment team + directors/partners own that. They will place you based on needs of the firm, your career interests, and your development needs. If you’re on the bench, it’s the deployment teams job to find you a project, not yours. You can technically network your way onto a project if you want to get on a specific one, but it’s supposed to just be placement

like

Interviewing with EY and KPMG. Both told me I'd have a staff counselor who'd lmk what is in pipeline and find me projects

EY does a pretty good job at this. I actually really enjoy working with my experience manager.

like

EY’s resource management is great. You’ll get a few emails as your rolling off a client to see what you want to work on next. If you’re scheduled on an engagement that is slow to kick off they’ll make sure you have chargeable work elsewhere but not overload you in case your original client picks up.

Big4 is pretty good about it

like

I worked for ACN and two B4 and I never used a resource manager to get staffed.

Do yourself a favor and own your career, build a solid network, and find the projects that YOU want to do. Don’t rely on staffing managers.

like

EY does and I can only speak for my experience, but it’s been wonderful & effortless

I think there are pros and cons to this. I can interview for roles I’m interested in and also see what the team is like before I accept. I actually don’t like to be staffed on a project just because they need someone, and the team management end up being horrible.

Dude this is literally every big consulting firm when you’re new. You network initially to get on a quality project - and if you do good you will get pulled into good projects.

Hi fishes! Nagarro declined the counter offer letter ₹33,00,000 + shares worth 4.5LPA

I've 6+ yrs experience (mobile dev.)

Nagarro offered 18LPA. Initially I told HR for 22 but he mentioned 18 into their internal portal to their senior so after clearing all interview rounds I got 18.

When I asked the HR, he told me to accept it for now and bring the counter offer letter so they can revise offer letter.

But now they declined. Weird.

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about. Their initial offer was 10K more than the top of the salary range they gave me for the position when I asked during the interview process and at the top end of the salary requirements I set for myself. My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?

Im currently studying Industrial Engineering with a minor in management. I’m interviewing currently for consulting, and theres a VC course at my school that seems really interesting but I can’t fit it into my schedule without removing the last class I need for my minor. Would not getting that minor do any harm to me short or long term? Im thinking that if I end up at consulting especially no one will care about a management minor they’ll just look at the firm I worked for.

What will be the in-hand salary ?
