Which do you prefer- Ask for permission or ask for forgiveness? Just started a new project and they haven't laid out travel expectations so I'm tryna milk it for as long as possible.

If all the top consulting firms made anonymous decks or gave anonymous pitches to a client, eg no branding and the client did not know which firm made which deck, do you actually think that the client would prefer MBB?  Is MBB actually coming up with better/more innovative solutions? I feel like I see many repeat or slightly altered solutions on almost all of my cases, are these really things that people at Deloitte/Accenture etc aren’t coming up with?

Does Delta re-use the red blankets and pillows?

Anyone knows what would be the salary for Senior IT project manager with PMP and 5 YOE?

Boss is on vacation. Client keeps on adding scope and talking to me like I'm a dumbass when I try to clarify expectations on the outcomes and purpose of the added scope. How do you handle it?

Booked a villa for 50-60 guests for our destination wedding in Tuscany. The hotel required us to pre-pay for the rooms and won’t accept direct payments from guests. This means we need to find a way to “charge” each of our guests for the cost. Any recs? Thought of PayPal and Venmo but would prefer being able to create a website that feels more legit / seamless and allows for credit cards if needed. There are many different room types and we’d like to be able to feature them so guests can choose.

What do people think about the casual blazer over t-shirt look / attire (for men) at the office in the summers?

Not for deliverable presentations or client exec. meetings of course. But would it be ok to wear any day of the week to the office?

Or is that too casual / suitable only for Fridays or not even?

I don't tolerate summer heat well 😂

I'm the only woman to get transferred to the MIS team from Ops, within Accenture, Hyderabad - a big client project. The guys are bullies including my boss. They did not give me KT, and today while leaving office told me I'm a failure, MBA without skills, and no experience of mine shall ever come to their use. Who do I escalate this to?

I can’t justify these annual fees for travel cards given I’m traveling less and frankly the airlines are getting to be such crap. So I’m transitioning to cash back. I see BofA has a 1.5% cashback card with no annual fee and you can get a 75% boost (to 2.62%) with 100k on deposit w BofA or Merrill. So I’m considering moving my retirement savings to Merrill for this deal. Has anyone done this? Have reservations or thoughts?

I have $50k in savings. How much do I keep in a savings account versus investing? I already max my 401k

Anyone knows about LOA while submitting documents for Accenture.. I guess it comes in the last while entering details.. I have submitted without downloading.. Can anyone suggest where to get?

Previously I have worked in service based org, there also company pushing us to not help their client employees.

When I was doing WFH from my village, I was desperate to move to Pune. I thought parties, food, friends, office, etc. was something I really needed. When I moved here I was damn happy, but its 3 months now and I feel that I don't belong here. These things don't make me happy. My village is where I feel a sense of belongingness. I miss khet, tubewell, gaay bachde and my people.

Fishes need help - I have a mentor who is about to become a partner in her early 30s. I am incredibly happy for her, but am genuinely embarrassed as my own career has been shit(layoffs cut progress).

Although she has stated multiple times that she wants to keep in touch, I feel like I am an annoyance to her and feel embarrassed that despite all her time and advice, I failed and am a waste of time to her. Any advice on how should I proceed with this relationship? I don’t like being a burden.
