Will I get in trouble if I work part time at a startup in my free time? Is that something you have to report to your company or that you should never tell them or what?

You need to check your company policies. If you work for a big 4, there are policies governing that.

We are always reminded of policies when we do training.
If you want to read them, type APR on Deloittenet and you will see the page for Administrative policies. Open that page then select 200 Talent Policies. Then open policy 218 - Outside Employment and Activities (US & India), enjoy the reading.

Probably. What does your contract say

Usually not ok unless you get explicit approval in your contract. Be careful around the cause about IP.

Discussion post: I feel almost all consulting firms are the same. Mbb, big 4 etc. if you are paid enough there is probably less wlb. If there is good wlb there is not much money. Can you single out a company that you can confidently say pays very well and also has good wlb and also has good opportunities etc.?

Have new analyst on the team with an MBA and project experience. After working with them for 2 months it’s apparent that there are 0 consulting skills (excel, outlook, PowerPoint) and they freeze up even on internal calls. They are young and coachable, and I offered to put time into that. However at a company event they made no effort to get to know the team and chose to stick to their familiar colleagues in their home office. I’d like to ask for a new resource but interested in feedback.
