Feels like parody. Nothing about what actual work was accomplished. They wrote ideas on some stickies and then what?
I feel like the grind of this job would be maintaining this bubbly attitude the whole time while also sacrificing any personal life outside of work. Half the video is just food and beverage socializing, and that is explicitly part of the work day.
The promotional trajectory is likely entirely based on how cool and friendly you are with the bosses while going out together after work. Reminds me of the Japanese middle class work culture with just more veiled misogyny.
The bit about work paying for uber and how it would be pricey if they didn’t when the DC Metro is right fucking there seems like bait? Idk.
I mean they're a company dedicated to privatizing everything so the idea of using something funded with tax dollars is totally alien, if not anathema to them.
I'm not able to find it, but I swear I remember hearing economists and consultants when asked about the 2008 collapse saying "well, everything we did led to this but it was still the right thing to do."
Part of the career trajectory is just hanging in there while literally everyone else gets burnt out around you. I think the stat is 70% of consultants are gone within 3 years? So this is just pure slop also to get people to keep signing on. I don't doubt she's way about all the stuff that causes the burnout though.
Yeah that's a major part of it. The other part is the constant connections you have to build and maintain to keep getting on projects and justify your employment. So I wouldn't be surprised if some of the people in this video are just kissing massive ass to keep their job.
Never really thought about it, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was. I was in tech consulting so it skewed heavily towards one gender. It definitely has a good old boys club feel for sure.
Edit: Thought about it and I had a few female coworkers that I wasn't especially close to, but they were all gone very quickly.
The consultant in this video picks up tea and a pastry for her boss, confirming that she's also having to feed the massive ego of a super-consultant.
We have educational consultants that come to our school for these "growth sessions." Common thread between all these guys is that they have a small army of ass kissers that walk around the room to pass out sticky notes and gift cards while these guys sit up front and tell us we're horrible at our jobs.
Another I'm-sure-it's-purely-a-big-conincidence thing that I notice about all these big shot consultants; this pack of followers always happens to be attractive young women. Go figure!
this is parody, the part where she has her phone on the table surrounded by sticky notes she's just writing things down generated from this website which is satirical
My best guess about the designtitles.com thing, it's more like peering slightly behind the veil, I think she can't show exactly what she does at deloitte (NDAs, whatever), so she chose to represent it in a cheeky way, so she knows her work is nonsense. She is also choosing to make these videos because they're doing numbers, even though they're doing numbers because they're hate-watched, her first videos definitely are less about "showing off my wealthy lifestyle" and more about recommending spots on D.C.

I definitely feel like this is a parody but I really can't tell.

On the other hand she looks exactly like she works at Deloitte in DC.
Hate this.

Yeah but they also worship at the altar of cost efficiency.
Nahh I feel like that's just their kayfabe. "The market is more efficient" seems to be their justification rather than an actual belief, IMO.

tiktok breaks my parody-sensing abilities because literally everything someone shows me from that app looks like they're doing a bit

Imposter Syndrome must be vicious when your job is completely fake.

sounds like an absolute hellscape of sexual harassment
