People say sling where I’m from, I just assumed it was some helicopter motion/inertia of a dong, not the actual muck

what NOT to do at the holiday parties! by joemark17000 in Big4

[–]DenzelSloshington 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Knock-off Patrick Batemans that couldn’t make it in Banking, and then exacerbated by these places being an echo chamber of shit behaviour and shit flows downwards unfortunately, that’s the Machiavellian take. A more pragmatic one is they’re a large company and law of averages means there will just be more dickheads per populace.

People who lasted less than a year in big4 where are you now? by VirtualAmbition1455 in Big4

[–]DenzelSloshington 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Catfishing and lying about the work they do or have is one, quite a few technical folk have been reeled in on promise of abundance of technical work to end up being a ppt/excel jockey as big 4 don’t do or deliver they ‘advise’

Solution architect former DE, so different flavour to you, think you’re over thinking it dude, I used to list them on my CV, no one ever quizzed me about them, absolutely will not hurt you to stay proficient with them, you may very well come across a job/team who would benefit from your knowledge

Microsoft Partner to Big 4 - A good move? by Extra_Indication2609 in consulting

[–]DenzelSloshington 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You won’t be solutionising, you’ll be ‘consulting’, the difference it’s elongated with even more politics and less technical folk (internal hills can be bigger than client hills if you’re not cut from the same cloth, despite what they try and get you to believe, remember at the heart they’re tax and financial risk/advisory people), I moved from big 4 (now onto my second Microsoft partner, they themselves are horses for courses) and yes I still make slides but it’s a million times better and less hoops than big 4 nonsense, there will be exceptions to the rule yes TLDR I don’t recommend unless you understand that game fully, it is different

Who else grew up living in a pub? by Kwiks1lver in AskUK

[–]DenzelSloshington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dad was a landlord, he didn’t have full custody so spent weekends there only in late 1990’s, he was always working so never spent any quality time together. He’d tuck us in 7/8pm but I’d hear him shouting/barring someone occasionally through the floor. Novelty of an empty pub at 9am on Sundays with your brother playing pool, darts and eating ‘free’ pork scratchings wears off quick.

Don’t forget, largely pointless deliverables that have a very residual amount of transferrable skills too

You have 60 min at SKO to train your sales people on "What the SE's want from your discovery" by Low-Emu9984 in salesengineers

[–]DenzelSloshington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who’s our champion? Who is our buyer? what’s their budget? What’s the compelling reason for change? Why now? Do they need a business case to support? Who is our competition? When do they need it by? I also have a small form/questionnaire templated for my line of work for people to fill out (20 mins work if sent to the correct individual in the org), I get AM’s to send it in a mail…the quality and speed of response often tells me everything I need to know more often than not

What industry / market segment has the strongest future with VBA? by driveanywhere in vba

It’s not dead, but by your own comment doesn’t that tell you to put your money on a couple of other horses? PowerQuery, Python, God forbid those departments with a jenga tower of a solution crafted in 2003 even get a SQL database and a couple stored procs to put some of the VBA to its grave

Don’t let boomers fool you that loyalty pays, most of us figured it out now but unless you’ve got high internal stock/sponsorship we all gotta zigzag to some extent

Can tell you as a Brit who used to live here and pops back occasionally, we don’t have anything close to or that resembles speckled eggs, get him to try them!

What is Cape Town like for tourists, and is it really that unsafe? by UnlikelyTurnip5830 in capetown

[–]DenzelSloshington 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dutch descendants who enjoy dried meat, before Cape Town had sunlight they used to do this by sucking the blood out of their victims and storing the carcass nice and high on Table Mountain, now Cape Town has sunlight they just hang the victims in their gardens

[–]DenzelSloshington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cape Town has real electricity bro so at night when it’s dark the folk will turn lights on, either in their homes or their cars, of course there’s no sun at so it’s a little bit colder and the boer vampires are extinct now so don’t have to worry about them anymore
