Would you prefer to be on a super chill project billing 40 but working 20 which won't be very challenging, or take on a more interesting/challenging engagement where you average 55-60 hours?

For startup founders/people with a successful side project: How did you get the idea/inspiration for your business? I’m currently working at a Series B startup and my end goal has always been to found my own startup, but I graduated from college 2.5 years ago and I still have not had any great ideas cross my mind. I do spend a fair amount of time brainstorming. I don’t want to continue working here forever, but I’m struggling to generate that “this is it” idea to build a company for. Any advice?

How do you sell an opportunity to the client? What documents do you use?

Finally made the career shift into tech product management (originally in consulting). It’s been exactly a month of being in the role, but any advices on how to spend the next 60, 90 days+ ahead?

So far I’ve been focused on understanding product, getting to know the team, contributing to project management areas where I’m more used to. Thanks!

What are your thoughts of consultants and auditors doing client work in a coffee shop, using said coffee shop’s wifi?

When you’ve put in a lot of hard-work as a developer on a great project and received the best performance award but compensation has been same since Day 1…and have completed 2 years in the company. Furthermore no signs of compensation going up…Is it the best time to leave or stay? Additionally too many management changes have taken place that everything feels out of place.

Hi, I came across an HR role for a company that offers consulting services for other employers. Has anyone work for one? My understanding is that it’s project base. Can anyone here share their experience in a similar role? What do you think?

Hi guys I am posting this again I have offer of almost same package from Accenture and IBM . Accenture offering is very slight more but that's not my key consideration. Which company is better in terms of job security, work life balance. That's the top most factor I am considering. Learning and project and latest niche technology is the other important factor after first 2 factors .

My client is being a d***. How many points?

Happy Friday y’all!!

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

Is joining amdocs as java developer is bad ? they said i will be working on legacy systems to make them transform into new tech ? is it true And can we say no to project when joined or change project in amdocs?

Has anyone ever been to the Alo Restaurant? I have never been there myself but I was wondering if this would be a good setting to propose?

Got a 30% salary bump, via an offer for Senior Consultant S&O from Deloitte. Currently underpaid at EY Advisory. I'm MBA and this year is my promotion year at EY for Manager. What to do? Get demoted and move to D? Or counter at EY? Even if EY matches my salary, and promote me to Manager, I will be an EY Manager with a Deloitte SC salary, and probably won't be able to go to D in the future. What do you think? I have built up a good relationship with my Partner and SMs at EY though.

Hi everyone. I’ve recently purchased a Rolex and looking to get it insured. Can anyone provide recs for good jewelry insurers? TIA

Quick PSA: one of the perks of going in-house, is that you’re no longer at an ad agency and all that that entails.

Just started a new in-house tech fl gig and it’s giving me whiplash! Somehow this dept has brought every person/toxic behavior from their old agency just to a new environment. Nowhere is perfect but good god. I honestly think companies/HR could learn a lot about their depts from freelancers.

My kids were really upset with me when I told them that my job as an engineer did not mean that I drove trains for a living

Hi everyone,

Did you ever regret a company switch that you did? If so, how did you come out of it?

Feel free to PM me to further discuss.

AWS Engagement Managers (or even Senior EM) pay/benefits in Canada if possible (if not, US is fine with COL mention) ? Can anyone compare to Big4 ?

I'm looking to add a Branch Office Administrator...anyone have experience with hiring for that position?

Any AWS folks willing to give a referral? I’m a pre-sales solution architect an an AWS partner in US Central and looking to jump to the other side. DM me!

Hi,
How does the sapience ibuddy tool work ? What if I'm not able to clock 8 hours ?

Curious to get some input: looking into a golf getaway for my birthday in late February and really honing in on either Kiawah or Pinehurst.

Been to Kiawah before around that time of year and loved it-- the Ocean Course was my favorite golf experience, but I also feel the urge to try something else. Thoughts? TIA!

Does anyone working in Skillsoft? please share your experience

Question from a newbie consultant - What are some good online courses/ books to improve consulting skills?

Seems like it takes 6 years to reach Partner at MBB from an MBA, but 8 years to reach MD in banking from an MBA. Is this accurate?

Couples that take aisle and window seat on southwest in hopes of taking up entire row: I will sit in the middle.

I have been tagged for this project that doesn’t start until June 10th. My utilization is going to drop significantly but at the same time the deployment team cannot present me elsewhere. Ugh!

Are any top consulting firms hiring for experienced analysts currently? I know ACN and some others are cyclical for resources 2-3 years out of college, but I’m looking to make a move sooner than fall

What kinds of books, podcasts, TED talks, etc would you recommend for a recent college grad who has low self esteem, is professionally immature and for whom the prospect of entering the world of work is daunting and stressful?

Trying to find ideas/frameworks that will change mindset, tips, tools and heuristics for self organization, management, soft skills in a professional setting etc

OTS is growing rapidly and leadership has asked us SMs to assist with recruiting. One of our needs is for cybersecurity and data privacy consultants interested in M&A e.g. CISSP, CISA, CIPP, CIPM, etc

Any recommendations on books to get up to speed on leading/managing teams as a new manager in consulting? Preference towards tangible case studies etc. vs. high level concepts.

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.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

Hi to all my Psytrance 🐠 - My partner and I will be attending Modem festival in Croatia next month, and would love to learn about your experience either at Modem in prior years or any other psytrance festival in terms of how folks enjoy a good 7 days on a campground. I don’t imagine I’ll be dancing all 7 days 😊

Any tips or tricks on collecting extra PQP on United / MileagePlus? Particularly, any ways to collect without taking flights. Trying to score an extra 2500 PQP over the next 3 months

Do any of the top consulting firms hire into the Engagement Manager level after an M7 (if they had manager experience elsewhere)? I know MBB probably doesn’t but what about other tier 2 firms after that - and asking for US or Canada
