On job hunt - how long should I wait before I follow up on my interview process? Seeking opinions as I'm super anxious (have been laid off by ACN) it's my second last round and it's been almost a week. Thanks all!

In your life, how times have you been let go or fired from your position. I’ll go - once, was let go for an elimination in position.

I was a SA in Accenture before being laid off. My potential employer (Consulting) is asking for my non-compete. After I sent it they said that they need to know the clients I’ve worked on. Can I just give them client names? I am so confused.

Hot take: its pointless to care about PTO payout.

This is money you get when leaving, so either you should be going to a new job that’s paying a lot more or retiring and already having a large retirement fund.

I’ll grant 2 things: 1) it does suck for people getting laid off 2) if it comes with a strict approval system then PTO is ruined, but because of the approvals, not inherently because it’s unlimited.

But overall I think this won’t change your life as much as you think

like

So apparently EY believes that moving to unlimited PTO will provide a first mover/differentiator advantage amongst the big 4.. I’d advise Deloitte, PWC, and KPMG folks to let EY stand alone on this one! None of us asked for this and they are doing it primarily to reduce PTO accrual liability for layoffs/in states where employers are limited in taking away earned PTO

On every objective measure, I know I’m doing really well. Yet somehow, this job makes me feel like I’m never doing enough, never good enough, never will get promoted, and will inevitably get fired. Anyone else feel this way? It sure didn’t feel this way when I made 30% less money and worked 30% less hours in industry before becoming a consultant.

Contacted by a recruiter from Alvarez & Marsal for their Compensation Consulting group in Dallas specializing in M&A and bankruptcy compensation, restructuring activities, retention and severance packages, and related tax implications. Any thoughts on A&M generally for WBL, culture, exit ops, etc, and salary, bonuses, hours for that group? Good opportunity?
