I came across this sub just a few hours ago, and I’m genuinely curious about something.

What happens when you connect with someone emotionally, spend a lot of time chatting and getting to know them, enjoy talking to them, and then later realize you’re not physically attracted to them?

Personally, I strongly believe both emotional and physical attraction matter in a relationship. Emotional connection alone doesn’t feel enough to me, and I don’t think physical attraction alone is enough either.

I’m wondering how people here navigate that part, especially when things start online first. Like, suppose you’ve been talking for a while, then you exchange pictures and realize the attraction just isn’t there for you. How do you handle it respectfully?

I usually wouldn’t want to ghost someone because that feels unfair, but I also don’t want to force something I know won’t work romantically.

I really don’t want this to come across as shallow or rude appearance obviously isn’t everything but isn’t physical attraction still an important part of a relationship for most people?

Curious to hear honest experiences and perspectives.

Hello there,

I’ll be joining Deloitte USI in a few weeks straight after my MBA, and I wanted to get some advice from people already in consulting.

I’ve heard that over time it helps to build a niche, especially if you’re aiming for better growth or more global exposure.

Wanted to understand:

• What are some teams/areas in consulting that are considered more niche?
• Do those actually translate into better opportunities (projects, travel, etc.)?
• Anything you wish you knew when you were just starting out?

Just trying to be a bit more intentional early on instead of randomly getting staffed and figuring it out later.

Thanks!

Hi,

I’ll be joining a Big4 soon after my MBA (top 5 in India), and I’ve been thinking about how to approach the first few years.

A lot of people say that building a niche helps with growth and also increases chances of working on international projects or moving abroad. I wanted to understand how true that is in practice.

For those already in consulting:

• What area/niche are you working in?
• Do you get opportunities to work with global clients or travel?
• Did you consciously pick your niche or did it happen over time?

Would really appreciate insights. Also if you have any other advice do feel free to add that! Thanks in advance.

PS: Used Chatgpt to word it

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working at Deloitte USI (Bangalore) post MBA, and I’m looking to move to the EU for work.

Would really appreciate hearing from people who’ve made a similar move from consulting (Big 4 / MBB / Tier 2):

• Did you move via internal transfer or switch externally?
• How feasible is moving to EU offices from USI?
• How many years of experience did you have when you moved?
• Which countries are relatively easier to target from India?
• Any specific skills/roles that helped your transition?

I’m currently trying to evaluate the best route internal mobility vs applying directly

Would be super helpful to hear your experiences or any advice on how to approach this.

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys,

I’m currently working at Deloitte USI (Bangalore) post MBA, and I’ve been seriously thinking about moving out of India ideally to Europe.

I know a lot of people want this, but I’m trying to understand how realistic it actually is from a consulting background.

If you’ve moved from India (Big 4 / MBB / Tier 2 consulting) to Europe, would love to hear:

• Did you go via internal transfer or apply externally?
• How realistic is internal mobility from USI to Europe offices?
• How many years of experience did you have when you made the move?
• Which countries were easier to target? (Netherlands, Germany, Ireland, etc.)
• Do companies actually hire from India and sponsor visas, or is that rare?

Also hearing mixed opinions on whether things like language (German/Dutch) matter for consulting roles.

Right now I’m trying to figure out the best route:

• internal transfer
• direct job applications

Honestly just don’t want to spend 2–3 years chasing something that’s nearly impossible 😅

Would really appreciate any real experiences / tips / reality checks!

Is anyone else facing auto logout issues on the EPFO portal while trying to approve PAN/Bank KYC?

My previous employer mentioned they’re getting logged out repeatedly while trying to digitally sign requests.

Just checking if this is a common issue right now.
