Staff

Anyone here who works at Venable? In IP Department ideally. Looking for your thoughts about firm culture generally, work life-balance, how the atmosphere is for women, how the working relationships between staff and attorneys seems, how turnover is these days, etc. Am considering applying for a position there that would remote working and I think would be a job that does work for all of the offices that have IP groups (which may be all of them?)

Any paralegals, legal assistants, or other staff here work at Venable, specifically the IP Department? Would love your take on firm culture, how paralegals/staff fit in there (a team atmosphere vs the more typical big law attorney/staff stratification, for example), does work/life balance exist (hey, it’s good to have dreams!), are they actually supportive of remote working? Looking at a remote staff position, based in San Fransisco office.

Hi Fishes, I got a job offer from Nagarro at 24LPA, designation is staff engineer. I feel I should get atleast 28LPA and senior staff engineer role. What do you guus think? How should I negotiate more? I have 24LPA offer from EPAM anywhere and Nagarro matched that offer I think. YOE: 9+ years, Skill: Java Fullstack developer

What does someone in a “Chief of Staff” role do in industry vs consulting? Genuinely curious, it seems like an above and beyond role, but I’m not sure I fully understand what those extra responsibilities entail!

Is Chief of Staff a good exit in terms of salary and upward mobility? Where do people usually go after working a few years as a Chief of Staff? TIA

How does this offer sound ? Technology Manager at Cognizant, would be in a staff aug role at Apple. Base : 160k COL adjustment : 14.5k / annum Joining bonus : 10k Currently a freelance contractor.

I wanted to know if I made a right choice or not. I had 2 offers. 1. Nagarro - 27.5 LPA + 1L Joining Bonus Role: Staff Engineer (Lead) 2. Eli Lilly - 30.2 LPA + 1.5L Joining Bonus Role: Manager I chose Nagarro as it is in my home city and there is not much difference in inhand salary as Nagarro salary components is pretty good in saving taxes. But in terms of work culture and service vs product based companies, did I made a right decision?

Staff and seniors without your CPA, what's the number one reason why you don't have your license and what's the number one thing your firm could offer you to get it? Especially interested in those at big four where the incentive already includes the cost of study materials, four exam fees, application fee, and a $5000/$3000 bonus if passed in 1 or 2 years from joining. Bigger bonus (name your price)? Greater position on the team? More PTO? Exam fee forgiveness if you fail an exam? Etc?

I'm about to have an interview for a technical accounting & external reporting role (staff/associate level). Can anyone having experience in this role please advise what I should prepare for the interview? Thank you.

Any fish out here that have transitioned from a staff attorney to an associate role? If you have, what was your path and what all did you do?

I’m 4 rounds into the interview process for an Assistant Controller position in SoCal. For the next round, I’ll be meeting with the Controller, Accounting Manager, and 5 other junior accounting staff. I’ll have 30 minutes to explain a month-end close task (of my choice) to the accounting team. Also, I’ll have to analyze a random reconciliation and explain improvements that can be made. I’m just a 2nd year manager, so I’m getting so nervous, and any insight or tips would be appreciated!

Any insight into EY’s IFCS practice? Thinking of applying to their open staff role from another firm, I’d be transferring out of audit.

Hello all! I am an MBA in Accounting graduate who has had a few AR jobs in my past professional career and in my current role, I do GL postings and reconciliations and ensure everything for my assigned account is entered and posted to the GL. I really want to transition fully into the Accounting world but when I apply for Staff Accountant jobs (in my mind a step above entry-level), I don't get many calls. What am I doing wrong? What should I be applying for with my education and experience?

i think staff aug projects are a good thing if you want to exit to that company. do you agree?

I know I want to be at McKinsey & Company or Bain & Company , and I have done all of the prep work to be successful in the interviews, but I am struggling to actually get an interview. Does anyone have any tips on how to get an interview? Do you need a referral from someone senior? Networking with junior staff and recruiters has yet to be successful.

checking the DTT referral bonus: $500 for refer a senior??? $0 for experienced staff?? What’s the referral bonus looks like in other big 4?

PwC is looking to hire people across all staff levels, from director to associates in the advisory practice. Please DM me if you’d like to be referred! I’ve got 10 years worth of connections at the firm, happy to help people out and collect my referral bonus 😊

I’m currently on a freelance assignment through the fall with a possibility to extend/convert however I am being actively recruited for full time roles at other agencies. I love the company and team I work with. I have one verbal offer pending right now. Once I get written offer, I plan on giving my current agency a chance to match it but if not then I have to take full-time role. I haven’t had a vacation and need a break. Is one weeks notice fair since I’m not staff?

I’ve been stuck in staff aug roles and really want to get into an actual role that does meaningful work. I have 4 years of experience in basic admin stuff what firm can I apply to that hires experienced hires with no real hard skills? I really want to find my way in consulting field.

Anyone from EY willing to offer a referral for a staff role? I’d be happy to talk about fit as well.

what is staff augmentation and is it a good role to be in?

Debate: If you’re interviewing for a new position outside the firm and the interviewer is unavailable after your billable hours (staff augmentation project). Typically for appointments (dentist, doctor), we make up the time outside of working hours. Would you A) block off the time on your calendar as an appointment and make up the 30 min outside of normal working hours OR B) take 30 minutes of PTO for interview

Thoughts on the gaming industry? I’ve been approached by a fairly big developer for a Chief of Staff role. The industry is an exciting space, but I know little to nothing on pay, benefits, trajectory, etc. Any insight?

I started as OM for this amazing non-profit in April 2021 and I'm starting to regret it. The ED is toxic AF and staff is afraid to speak up which puts me in the middle of some very uncomfortable situations. I do enjoy the work when there is no drama, however it is starting to weigh on me. I've also spoken to the ED about what needs to change and negative feedback, however it keeps happening. Do I start looking for another role ASAP? or ride it out until I decide in my own time what is next?

What are your thoughts on the chief of staff role at a startup? I want to get into tech startups but don’t have an “idea” yet and am not a “builder/engineer”. I read the JDs for this type of role and it sounds like a great role for a former management consultant/strategic advisor and a good way to get into startups and set yourself up to run your own startup some day…is my understanding correct or should I approach getting into startups a different way?

Is chief of staff role for a mid size PE firm an attractive role?

Finally I have 2 offers to get out of this place. Both new roles are a step up and pay the same in federal space. One is a very small company doing a traditional SM of PMs role, non sdlc pmo work. Other is a large company as a Program Manager, overseeing a staff of ~25 doing sdlc- some agile. I eventually want to go big tech for an IC role. I feel like the smaller company position is more aligned with IC role. My only scare is I will be out of touch on emerging tech and practices.

Hey guys I have 2+ yrs of experience in EY as a none technical staff (Tax support) Can you please let me know if there are any position for me to apply 🥰😍

I've been out of public accounting and tax accounting for 2 years. I'm getting back in but concerned I lost all my tax knowledge. I applied for a staff role but they gave me a senior role because of my experience. How can I get back to where I was? I was thinking of finding a recent tax textbook and reading it. Is there a better way I could go about this? The book likely won't cover PPP loans and all that stuff.
