One EY Recruiter told me that the bonuses for senior are between 10 to 20 percent and last years avg was 17%. Can someone confirm? These numbers seems very high for PA.

Is it possible to have a personal computer made to be EY-Compliant?

My personal computer is much faster than the one issued by the firm. I’d be fine with resetting or formatting the device.

Any creative technologists in here? How’d you end up doing what you’re doing now?

For some context: I’m always fussing around with tech, learning coding, and picking things as I go. I’m just trying to plan for a potential pivot and would love any tips or guidance.

Let's compete! What's the craziest fake news you've heard so far and how many relatives of yours believed it?

I duno about you guys, but one benefit of remote work is not having to listen to fellow consultants complain because they didn't get upgraded or they had some silly travel issue. 👍

How long after making an offer to a candidate would you wait before pulling the offer?

So I have been made an offer by a company I like but it’s pretty similar to my current package (I also like where I am). The recruiter is pretty intense and is pitting me against another candidate but says I’m the number one choice and is asking me for a number to say yes “but not too high or the team will look at the other candidate”
I’m close to send them to get stuffed. I’m also awaiting a promo and interview feedback from Google. Any advice?

For those who moved from a client serving role to an internal role in public accounting while at a fairly high level (experienced manager or senior manager), did you take a pay cut or does your pay stay flat when you transition with minimal increases in subsequent years? Also what role are you in now? I really like EY and the company. I’d like to look at moving to an internal role but I’m worried I’ve priced myself out (currently at around 140k comp in LCOL).

Remember The Woo? Yeah, me neither. Well, they cut everyone’s pay (except mgmt of course) by 1/4 to get the small biz gov loan, and used it to hire a $500k/yr mgmt head. Agency still working barebones

I'm currently an Account Executive on the agency side but looking to move back to the carrier/broker side. Does anyone know of any remote positions for an Account Executive or Underwriter?

My basic is 24 lakhs. So it will be 2.88 lakhs per year contribution just from my end.
Now some of the contribution will be taxed. Has someone done proper calculation related to this.

I have interview for Accenture company . profile is regarding aws and I have 8 years old f exp.Can you help me how to prepare ? Anything to refer ? Time is less

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.

Okay so, its been a while since I've been seeing this in Linkedin:
The Job requirement says its Entry Level, but the experience it requires is always 6 year+... like how would a fresher match that.. should I've started coding at 6th grade or what?

I understand that it's a way of "SEO" in LinkedIn but it just discourages us freshies.

Actually not sure if this post belongs in this bowl but.. it is what it is?
P.s. I still apply to these because what's the worst that could happen... right?
