1 month in PwC advisory (SAP) and I’m already considering quitting. In addition to not finding the practice (SAP) very engaging, im still shocked at the fact that PwC uses Gmail, google sheets/slides over Microsoft products.. Am I crazy ?

We switched to Outlook in November, if your group hasn’t switched yet it will by January.

Also Google was a million times better

You want to leave a company because you don’t like the technology they use? If it was that critical of an issue for you, wouldn’t you have asked that during your interview?

I feel sorry for you and any confusion during your hiring process. Did you setup your expectations about role/responsibilities and your career trajectory besides google suite concerns? Talk to someone who’s willing to jumpstart you or feel free to DM for any specifics.Good Luck

Most have already switched or are migrating to Outlook

Yeah, I come from public accounting and excel and macros was basically my only skill. Now I switched to PwC advisory where they ask me to use google sheet to « collaborate » on projects but we could do that with a sharepoint…

If I was to quit for a technology reason, I will due to switch to Microsoft, that’s a pain in the B. But Google or Microsoft is not something that reflects a company’s culture and can’t be the reason to quit.

Nope, I quit in week 3 when I was there but thats largely bc they lied to me about my role and expectations. Just dont quit without another offer or opportunity elsewhere

I’m in the same boat. They lied to me that I can be virtual and our making me travel Sunday-Friday EVERY week! Want to quit but I’m on a visa and it’s not easy

Making team members travel regularly on Sundays is immoral.

It's always tough, but this year it has felt impossible to stay on top of grading. Sure, there are online quizzes the computer can grade for you, but that data is so limited.

Between submission of blurry photos and going through the process of uploading, downloading, and squinting to see their work, it takes me 20x longer to grade work for my digital kids. #thestruggle
