PwC1: it sure as hell can be strategic if you are remote and not at the client. Just did a growth strategy engagement and they preferred we work from our office for most of it, with the exception of some meetings and a couple workshops.

In no way is this is a resume building move. I get you're trying to talk yourself into the role, but don't fool yourself into thinking this helps to build a better platform should you choose to jump firms in the future.

It can't be strategic if remote brah. Sorry to disappoint.

I wouldn’t take it (and I’m one of the people who usually sings pwc’s praises on this app). Our internal roles are rarely staffed with our best or brightest, and they are they first to get taken to the woodshed when it comes to streamlining.

These internal “strategy” roles are also usually where we put people who we are having a hard time billing but don’t want to let go.

Your deal seems like a lot of bad news.

Okay, to take a loss? Already pushed very hard! Pro: No client stuff, will be “focusing on PwC Firm’s Strategic Stuff”
Con: $11k loss yearly, bonuses will be lower, and raises will be 1-4% max annually

Guess..I should stick with KPMG..but, would be nice to be around, maybe focus on MBA TOO!

It could be a short term strategic initiative to figure out the business changes - are you sure they will keep you long term? A lot of internal people have been let go recently here, I would be very careful - perhaps ask about long term career potential here

I’ve put myself up for L4 promo this cycle. Assuming I get it, what would be the best next steps to optimize for long-term growth/TC?

My understanding is that L5->L6 is extremely painful at
Google. It may be easier to leave for a handful of years and gain managerial experience before returning.

L4->L5 is less challenging; however, I’m under the impression I can do this quicker at another company (if I leave after being freshly promo’d) AND get higher TC.

TC: 270K

Intl Tax folks, how long did it take before you were confident in your role?

I applied to a job at KPMG and did the first two rounds of interviews, general interview, then case study and competency. Never before have I had such a positive feedback at the end of an interview of the 2nd, both said really like me, I did well etc.
It's now been 3 weeks since the interview and I still haven't heard back from the team other than the odd HR email saying they are following up with them. Is there something going on internally, I.e hiring freeze in the London office atm?
