Account Director

Best Big4 for Life Sciences/Healthcare consulting globally?

Can you tell me how much salary you earn (ANNUAL) and what’s your 401k contribution (per PAYCHECK) !? Just want to get an idea if my contribution is very less or okay. Mine: 137K, $368.

The question is healthcare a right or a privilege? What do agency folk think?

Tips for going back to school after maternity leave? Fun get to know you games or ideas for activities to make the transition easier for the kids? I teach 5th grade ELA.

PwC plz help. I can't load benefits express to figure this out myself. What's our 401k match?

Thoughts on Media Storm? Clients? Management style? Benefits?

Just curious - what’s your effective tax rate (fed+state+SS+med)/(total comp). I’m in NYC - all those taxes add up to 38% of my total comp - not including 401k contribution and insurances.

I'm sure this has been asked but couldn't find it. What's accenture per diem like. Daily allowance or is it use it or lose it.

When should I start maxing out my 401k as it will decrease my take home pay by so much

pre-tax, roth or after-tax 401K? I'm 22 with no student loans. Any input is appreciated

How is KPMG's expense policy and phone benefits? Pwc is EP is super chill and phone perks are amazing and Deloitte EP are the best but shitty phone perks from what I hear and EY blows period

Accenture people: new hire here and don't understand how per diem works. Is it not just added to my paycheck for every day I am on the road?

Wth did I just buy a $24 cocktail when you know damn well you don't get per diem on Fridays 🤦‍♀️💁

Big 4 Health Benefits - who has the best? Please give details

Got an industry offer from ex-client for ~40% more pay. Good company, benefits, coworkers, work. Only downside is that the Manager is workaholic with insane expectations. What would you do?

Why does the Big 4 pay their consultants so much less? Is it because our margins are lower or because of the partner pension plan?

Should I choose to go into an industry that is “perfect for my background” or into an industry that I am interested in? My background is healthcare/life science but interested in commercial banking. Compensation and job security are my top priorities.

People who do compensation/employee benefits consulting, what’s something you were surprised to learn through your job?

Deciding between Deloitte and EY. Both M1 positions with the same base compensation and signing bonus. MCOL city. Deloitte would be in the Ops Transformation practice and EY would be in Tech Consulting (both focused in the industry I specialize in). I know the bonus target at Deloitte is significantly higher, but other than that what would the major differences be? WLB, culture, exit ops, benefits, etc.? Thanks y’all.

Can anyone comment on Houlihan AFR (Accounting and Financial Reporting) vs the Big 4 practices? Have an upcoming phone interview but not sure if it’s an opportunity I would really take.

Anybody made the move from biglaw in LA to biglaw in Austin? What are the notable differences in terms of work culture and lifestyle?

Anyone in Toronto and thinking about moving out of the city too? Food scene is still great but with so many places closed or restricted and growing popularity of remote work as a more long term thing... The benefits that used to be there, simply aren't.

For those of you that got coached-out/fired from PA, what was the conversation like leading up to it?

Looking to lateral to MBB and got MBB case interview soon, what type of cases/case frameworks should I be practicing, how do they compare to Big 4 case interviews?

My practice in Advisory has lost half of our Directors/Partners (4/8) in the last 4 months. People are on the bench. Is being laid off a possibility?

It's 2017. How/why are we still getting sick from common cold and flu?! 🤧🤒💊

Becoming a first time dad next week. Had 3-week pat leave planned but Partner has indicated I reconsider and let him know. Got a project role, was on bench all 2020, and confused how to plan ahead.

Has anyone ever had a project go completely wrong? Wondering if anyone has consulting horror stories to share.

For my mortgage application, there was a question about my legal status here. I provided my I797 approval since my Visa had expired. The lender returned with the following comment. How should I respond to this? Any inputs please? "This is acceptable but you sent the renewal. We would also need the following: Copy of current valid visa"

Here's a question I wish I never had to ask. Is it better to use the code for bereavement leave or just burn pto I'm going to lose anyway? Does it make a difference from a utilization standpoint?

Is it too entitled to complain to a hotel about a dirty so dirty it's nearly opaque? I quite like the view and the hotel is full. It's a Westin property if that matters.

I feel so irritated. I don't care if I work late or weekends because I know what I signed up for, but when I say that I need to work, my friend replies with "🤡" or "🥴" It's my life so I don't know why these reactions are necessary. Our jobs aren't apples to apples, I have a quicker TC trajectory, even if I don't make more yet (he's older), AND most importantly I enjoy my job. But I feel so crappy when he says this & pretty much says I'm stupid for working this much and bugs me about my bonus

After being unemployed for the past few months, proud to say I have 4 interviews coming up with different firms. Hope to find a job soon.

Suggestions on managing the 401k funds (previous employer funds in vanguard) when one changes employer.

Need some advise! It’s been 8 years since I attended an interview, the interviews I attended didn’t result in an offer. Any direction on how and where I should start? I have been leetcoding for a while now. Skill set: SQL, python, tableau and other environments within data. Does it help hiring career or interview coaches? Thanks in advance!

How easy or difficult it is to switch jobs on H1B Visa? Also, it is recommended to change job after 1.5 years in a company? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

How long does Alvarez & Marsal take after final interviews to extend or decline an offer?

Anyone know what’s going at Capital One right? They seems to be making a concerted effort to recruit MBB talent (allegedly) without specific positions they’re looking to fill

Capital one product manager power day interview coming up. I was told it will be 3 case studies ( analyst, product design, product skills). Anyone have experience with the power day and can provide any pointers on what to expect and what resources I can study in advance? Not sure what type of questions they will pose. Any info is great. Thanks!!
