Hi fishes! Does slalom offer any tuition reimbursement for grad school?

People who left from big 4 to Microsoft, what did you gain and what did you lose? In terms of benefits and etc. Got an offer from Microsoft. Trying to gauge my expectations when I move.

Has anyone taken one of those online executive courses, like the Harvard Extension School offers? Looking to use my $5k of tuition reimbursement and already have an MBA. Worth it? Best programs?

“Per diem” meal expenses are EXPLOITATION. $50 is not enough for a single meal at a hotel restaurant, let alone an entire DAY for food. Shifting travel costs onto your employees = evil. Yes i mad :<

Do you spend your entire per diem? Or do you prefer low-cost food options (chipotle for example) and save the rest of the per diem?

I see that PwC has an annual $5,250 tuition reimbursement benefit. Is it pretty straight forward to get approval for? I’m an experienced hire thinking about joining the company. I am currently doing an MS in analytics and was wondering if I’d be able to apply this benefit towards future semesters of my degree.

PE is notorious for being difficult to get into unless you’re coming from IB. However, there are success stories for consultants breaking into PE even without an MBA. Which got me thinking, how difficult would it be for a healthcare management consultant to land a spot at a healthcare-focused PE firm?

Fishies, I need your help. I received an offer for $160k from guidehouse. I’m currently paid $133k at EY. I don’t particularly love my practice as it is testing and the new practice with guidehouse would be IT strategy. EY has gotten me comfortable with the reimbursement for fitness, phone and internet and the promises from Kelly Grier of “really good bonuses and raises” this year. What would you do?

New to KPMG- out of town at a client, how does claiming a per diem work? I've just been buying my meals with my corporate card

Product Management - I am somewhat interested in trying to move into product management. I have led internal analytics product development at a prior firm, and have led clients through developing/improving “products” for their teams to use however I have not led “consumer facing” products and my experiences have not been as “formal” as many PM roles ask for. I work in healthcare and would want to stay there. I’m wondering if others have any thoughts on these transitions.

Why are you in agencies? What are the benefits of being in an agency over clients/media partners side? Trying to find a new motivation to continue staying in this industry..

Is Deloitte’s healthcare practice currently undergoing a hiring freeze due to rightsizing?

Thoughts on AppleWatch (trying to use the wellness reimbursement). ☺️

Who else drank their per diem dinner today 🙋

Would you rather travel every week or have a 90 minute commute to a local client client without any per diem or travel points???

Pros and cons of working in Dubai - have an opportunity to move there in January. Local package, no expat benefits.

How does the pension plan work at Deloitte? I’ve been working here for 3 years and never knew Deloitte offered a pension. I see a balance on my account but it says my statement is suppressed

What do unemployment benefits look like now? 450/week plus an additional 600/wk if it’s covid related? Is it taxed as income?

Anyone have tips for paying off $136k of student loans (undergrad and mba)? I’m trying to make large payments but now I have no savings or 401k. I’m 25 and just stressed as hell about this :(

Would you move from D to other Big 4 with only 20k raise (115 -> 135k)? Assuming you need to restart GC process from scratch a year after joining

Anyone know of any good tools/resources with job prospects for 65+ trying to find employment after behind laid off during COVID? I imagine many have been forced into early retirement. Unfortunately, it appears the discrimination is very real when it comes to allowing “retirees” to participate in our workforce.

For MBA apps will it hinder or help you if you provide a list of other MBA programs you are looking into besides the one you are currently applying for?

Big4 consulting salaries: have 5 YOE in consulting, 2-3 in industry, and top 25 MBA. If I come through experienced hire route, can I still aim for the MBA salary bands around 140-170k?

Best consulting firms in Houston for Healthcare?

Does anyone else get a serious case of imposter syndrome? I BS 90%+ of my client meetings and projects have never been on fire. Been doing this for 3+ years and feels like someone will catch on...

Thoughts on Veteran status and the ongoing corporate layoffs?

Can anyone shed some light on what a BCG knowledge analyst is? Any idea of salary range and if they do consulting style work?

If they decide to go back to "remote" or "hybrid" model this school year, I am legit gonna loose it!

Anyone go off Mirena and just feel weird? I have been off for a week or so now and just feel off. Wondering if that is normal or if it’s just a side effect from covid exasperated with thinking that it could be a side effect from going off mirena..

Interview help - gotten to the offer stage 2x in the past 3-4 months, but have lost the coin flip vs other candidate. Any guidance? Feeling pretty down in the dumps…

Is it a better exit strategy to get deep technical experience or strategy experience? I was told during recruiting that 1 year here = 2 year in industry, but I’m not seeing how that trickles into tech

Whats the deal on rebounds? Managers who left right before being made senior manager? What do those guys call themselves and more importantly what role should them aim for?

I'm platinum on delta. If I book a flight for my friend who has no status will she get any of the perks? Specifically wondering about the 3 free checked bags. Thanks
