🎉 Celebrating 5 Years in PwC! 🎉 Today marks a significant milestone: 5 years since I embarked on this incredible journey. 🌟 🌐 Global Teamwork: For half of this journey, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with a diverse and talented global team. Across time zones and cultures, we’ve woven a tapestry of innovation and resilience. Together, we’ve turned challenges into opportunities and celebrated victories that span continents. 🌎 📚 Diverse Projects: These years have been a whirlwind of learning and growth. From launching cutting-edge products to streamlining processes, I’ve been fortunate to work on a wide array of projects. Each one has taught me something new, and I’ve relished the chance to dive into different domains. 🚀 🏆 Challenges and Achievements: The road hasn’t always been smooth. We’ve faced tight deadlines, intricate negotiations, and unexpected twists. But through it all, we’ve persevered. Our accomplishments, big and small, have shaped our success story. Whether it’s closing a major deal, implementing an efficiency-enhancing solution, or fostering a culture of collaboration, every milestone matters. 🌟 As I reflect on these 5 years, I’m grateful for the incredible colleagues and mentors who’ve been part of this journey and all of the support provided during a very difficult time in my life. Here’s to the next chapter. #5YearsInBusiness #GlobalTeamwork #diversity #Achievements #PwC #pwcproud #businessanalysis #projectmanager #projectmanagement

Today is my last day working at EY, a wonderful company of wonderful people. After 20 years of working as a Partner in consulting, I am moving on to corporate retirement. Throughout these years, I've worked with fantastic EY teams, creative leaders, and visionaries. I've worked with over a hundred clients who shared their problems and placed their trust in me and my teams. It's impossible to thank everyone, so I won't list individual names. Thank you all for these wonderful years. I probably won't be original in starting my 2/3 project. It's easy to guess what it is. The first and second periods of life are about learning, gaining experience, and building a business. Now, I'm moving to the third stage, when it's time for change and sharing with others all that I've learned and built. This is the stage where, as a mature and conscious manager, I can offer myself to all those in need of advisory at the board level, advice on personal development or business development - a Partner in transforming the current business or building new, innovative technological solutions. I intend to continue lecturing at universities and will write another book. We live in a very interesting moment of technological changes, so I used GenAI to prepare an image summarizing my past and vision for the future in one image. I think Dall-e did a good job (a picture is worth a thousand words). Escher's style fits this very well. Metamorphosis through the eyes of artificial intelligence (but why are there pigeons in the future?). I feel that it's going to be interesting, and I certainly won't be bored. #ey #lastday #thankyou #friends #future

Reflecting on the path traveled and realizing what we've achieved so far, it's necessary to keep moving forward 💫 Thank you EY, for this incredible journey of growth and transformation. I'll keep learning and enjoying this process. The best is yet to come 🚀 🚀🚀 #neverstoplearning #buildingabetterworkingworld

🌟 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲: 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐍𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 🌟 Hey LinkedIn fam! 👋 I wanted to take a moment to share a glimpse of my journey over the past year at PwC in the captivating world of Management Consulting, specifically in Operations Management. 🚀 Flashback to day one, and I admit, I was a tad nervous. The thought of interacting with senior management and leaders made my heart race. 😅 But let me tell you, the experience at PwC has been nothing short of fulfilling and surreal. Dreams of being a Management Consultant found a home here, and PwC couldn't have been a better fit. But, like all tales, mine had a few bumps early on. 🤔 𝐋𝐞𝐭'𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬: 1. 🗣️ Being an extrovert or even adapting to new teams weekly? Terrifying. 🙈 2. 💬 My Bengali medium education and manufacturing background had me fearing the English language. 3. 🤝 Reaching out for help? Not really my style. I was all about solo missions. 4. 🤐 Speaking up without absolute certainty? Nope, not me. Confidence was key. 5. 🧩 Every project needing different tools and knowledge? Overwhelming. And now, the plot twist! How did I transition from trembling to triumphing? 🎉 🎯 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬: 1. 📞 Slowly, I found my voice in discussions, even when I wasn't the star of the show. Turns out, my thoughts were valid! 2. 💡 Communication isn't about a Shakespearean vocabulary. Clear and concise is the name of the game. 3. 🤝 No idea is too small. As a consultant, diverse perspectives are our superpower. 4. 🚀 The seasoned leaders at PwC turn our ideas into gold with their wisdom. 5. 🏆 PwC's culture values every employee, creating an environment where I thrive. So here I am, more confident, more engaged, and contributing my utmost. It's remarkable how growth sneaks in when you least expect it. 🌱 If you're on a similar journey, take heart. Every challenge is a chance to learn and evolve. Feel free to share your thoughts or experiences in the comments. Let's inspire each other! 🙌 #GrowthMindset #PwCProud #ConsultingJourney #AdaptingToChange

🎉 Celebrating One Year as a Management Consultant! 🎉 Reflecting on my journey, 3️⃣ key lessons have emerged: 1️⃣ I’ve learnt how to answer the toughest question facing Management Consultants…"What do you actually do?" My evolving response: “We help our clients introduce the correct processes, people and technology so they can solve complex problems and maximize innovation, sales and customer satisfaction.” Still a bit elusive, but it's a solid starting point! 2️⃣ I've learnt the importance of growing my own skill set. Embracing the wisdom of Cal Newport's book "So Good They Can't Ignore You," I've reshaped my view on what makes work enjoyable. Instead of the conventional advice "Follow your passion," Newport advocates for passion as a byproduct of mastery. PwC has been a fantastic enabler, emphasizing the continual expansion of my skill set. 3️⃣ I've learnt that business is rapidly adopting tech but at the end of the day it's still done by people. 🖥️🧑🤝🧑 Our clients are keen to adopt new technology, especially AI. Yet business is and will always be done by people for people. And it's the great people at PwC who have made my experience here an enjoyable one. I'm thankful for my time at PwC thus far and I'm looking forward to the learning and experience to come in the year ahead. #OneYearAnniversary #ManagementConsultingJourney #ProfessionalGrowth #TeamPwC 📚💼

🎉 Celebrating 200 Days at EY 🎉 🚀 From a Close-Knit Team to a Global Family 🌐 As we mark our first 200 days at EY, it's incredible to reflect on the journey from a 15-person boutique firm to integrating within a vibrant community of 400,000 professionals. The transition has been monumental in some ways and probably "it feels the same" in many other ways. Certainly did our core values and innovative spirit remain at the heart of the conversations. Here are some reflections on the good, the tricky, the bad: 🔗 Keeping Our Essence Alive Despite the "scale-up", we've held on to our tension meetings, preserving the intimacy of our team's communication. Our role-based working map, visualized in Holaspirit (👇 see picture below), continues to guide us, ensuring that our unique culture thrives within EY's diverse ecosystem. 🔄 Updating Our LIVEline Aligning with EY's humans@center strategy, we're in the process of refreshing our LIVEline—our ways of working and guiding principles. It's a testament to our commitment to evolve while staying true to what makes us, us. 🪟 A Window into Our World We've opened the curtaing, offering a peek into our distinctive approach, for example on tension meetings, stress pendulum and the like, to work. The openness and curiosity we've encountered have been heartwarming, leading to collaborative partnerships and a shared pursuit of triple wins. 🧩 Embracing the Bigger Picture Adapting to larger structures and systems has been a learning curve. We're examining how these frameworks influence our behavior, even when they challenge our teaming ideals, such as individual KPIs and incentive schemes. 🔍 Looking Ahead As we gear up for the next 200 days, our focus sharpens on maximizing our impact—both internally and with clients. We're driving the humans@center agenda forward, bridging the gap between strategic intentions and tangible outcomes. Here's to the next chapter of innovation, collaboration, and growth at EY. Together, we're not just dreaming of a better working world—we're making it a reality. #EYJourney #TeamGrowth #HumansAtCenter #Innovation #Collaboration #ReflectingForward
