What is better hertz or Avis loyalty program? I have been on hertz (president circle status due to united status) and collected points a few free rental days now. But hertz always seems so much more expensive to me for personal trips and I end up buying Avis. Should I just shift to Avis? United has also ended its partnership with Hertz now, hence wondering.

How many points? Caribbean Marriott Cat 3 property, 5 nights. They have an issue with the boiler so no hot water and shower stops in between. Ice cold showers for 4 days in a row 🥶. Hotel phones don’t work because network is down and only local channels work on tv. Last night they had a huge leak in the lobby. They kept knocking stuff all night to fix it and then left a large floor fan running. I understand it’s tough reopening so don’t want to push, plus they upgraded our room at check in.

I am an Operations Manager and trying to switch to Product Management through APM roles. I have done a 3 month fellowship and 2 projects.

There’s no excuse that by the age of 25 you have never tried therapy. I’m speaking directly to the demographic in this group who I’m sure over 95% of people in here are earning 6 figures. Key word: TRY. I understand it’s not for everyone but to have never even attempted seeking therapy is a injustice to yourself and the people around you.

With the ish that’s going on with ACN being disguised as “normal attrition”, I’d be happy to do a resume review for those affected. Former implementor who pivoted to M&A for a 45% comp bump circa 2021. I hope others follow suit, there’s enough shitty people in this business. I try not to be one of them.

A friend of mine from a top tier consulting firm was counseled out. Do you consider it ethical that his career counselor is intentially spreading the information to his colleagues and to other consultants from other companies in the project? What can he do about it? Specially that he considers the potential layoff is purely based on the current situation (chargeability was low) and not on his performance (they said that his contribution to BD during his bench time was low)?

How much severance should you expect after getting booted after 1 year. I got 3 months salary

Hi all,
I was made aware that I could work for consulting companies under a personal LLC and increase the pay received. My understanding is this is because I would have to pay my own insurance, benefits etc. Can anyone provide any additional details or literature on this?

Accenture CEO said on earnings call that accelerated performance cycle will help manage low performers at greater pace if need to pull levers.

Finished my MBA and got into consulting but finding it difficult in being good at my job. I joined a client mid project and the deliverables at times are so vague. I have no consulting experience ( came from an audit background) but as a sr. Consultant the expectations from my role are high. How can I get better at problem solving, story telling and just consolidating influx of information into concise format. Having some major imposter syndrome!

What’s the interview process like at Oliver Wyman at the Associate level?

When did you put company email on your personal phone? First year? Second year?

Bcg 🐠: are you required to “resubmit” your application after someone refers you?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?

I'm back in the industry. One of my hired consultants (mid level) talked bad about me. What can I do to make his life miserable?

I am Indian national and have a long layover in London Heathrow Terminal 3 on my way from US to India. Has anyone stayed at any hotel there that is considered airside as opposed to landside (trying to avoid need for transit visa by avoiding going through border control).

If you work for a large strategy firm and a client approves a much larger budget than you think was needed for the project is it okay to just accept the overage ? We will find a way to use it, but weirdly feel guilty. Is it ever good to go back to the client and say that you want less than they approved? Lol…..

Strategy 🐠, I'm curious about your day-to-day, and overall work what you actually do. Can you share?
I do business transformation and change management, but I'm curious to get into that side.

Is the bulk of your work slide making and creating a story to tell executives? How much data crunching, or data analysis do you do? On a project, what do you spend your time doing? A lot of research? Interviews?
Sorry I genuinely don't know and would like to know if I would enjoy the day-to-day work

Can you still get promoted on time if you don't meet the utilization metric during promotion year?
