Abuse, Exploitation, Excuse and Denial.. remember these words when you work at KPMG. Even if you are good at what you do, mediocrity will come and override it

What does it mean when someone goes on “extended leave”?

Looking for some encouragement. Has anyone here received an overall negative performance review or has been put on a development/performance plan and was able to turn things around for the better?

RKT, any thoughts?

Anyone concerned about the alleged “stealth” layoffs? Wondering which firms are doing this…

How many hours are you all , on average, working in a day?

Currently pursuing a MBA, and am deciding which focus areas to take.
I am trying to pivot from UX design to product in tech.
Ideal sector: FinTech
Current sector: Mobile Gaming
Related sectors: Entertainment, Edutainment, e-Commerce, Social

Aiming at head of product or head of design as long term goal.

If only 2 focuses, would you pick Business Analytics, Digital Marketing, Entrepreneurship and Strategic Innovation, or Global Challenges in Business?
Advice appreciated!

Is building a personal website using Wordpress a good way to stand out as a PM candidate (junior) or is it better to code it from scratch? - I have some coding knowledge but mostly concerned if hiring managers would care.

Going on 1.5 yoe and still learning how to organize and deliver customer-centric features at a bank. I’m feeling overwhelmed and eternally behind when it comes to scoping intent and managing timelines. In fact, I have not gotten a timeline together yet because I am still determining features required. I am having trouble detecting features required because I do not know customer preferences, and I don’t know customer preferences because I have only industry data. Does PM always few so chaotic?

Looking to understand the salary range for an executive level/managing account director at a large advertising agency.

Supposed to start at D at end of the month. Anyone familiar with HR strategy & services? Any insight is greatly appreciated :)

Hi fishes,
How is the wlb in Amex?

Under contract to buy my first home - house hacking a triplex. Property has been leased by the same three tenants for the last 5+ yrs, rents haven’t been raised since they moved in. Market rents have risen 70-100% in the same timeframe. All seem like ideal tenants (retired and take great care of the units) but I’d like advice on how to approach the rent increase conversation. Rents don’t make/break my mortgage payment but I’m leaving a lot on the table if I don’t increase significantly.

Word on the street about another Big4 Global Mobility practice in contact with another party … a huge deal going to happen … but who, when and how much?

I work at pwc and I am a second year senior. Currently make 90k base in assurance New York metro. Curious what everyone else is making and whether that is up to par

I just stop breathing whenever I get a meeting invite. What is life

Can you renegotiate salary when you do a rotation that requires you to have a license? Ex. Going from a position only needing a bachelors to being a lawyer

I haven’t been at a B4 firm since 2018. Do you still require a professional certification to be promoted to Manager?

Is everyone excessively leaving at the Big 4 across the board or is it just PwC? Seems like everyone is leaving or searching.

Any raise freezes at other B4? Deloitte has remained silent thus far.

How to deal with people flirting with you at work.
I’m married, and one of my coworkers flirts with me. Nothing super overt, but definitely not professional. We’re good friends and work together constantly because we’re on the same client, so I don’t want to make it awkward. Do I just do nothing and let it go? It is mostly just odd I’m not super offended, but I’m also clearly uninterested!

I know EY early promotes had their comp discussions and was curious what other big 4’s are seeing in terms of raises this year due to covid

For those who have gone from one big 4 to another…was it frowned upon by your superiors/looked at as a slap in the face, even if your intentions are to leave on good terms?

I know this is small dollars, but my firm only pays $25 per months for my cell phone. We all work remotely, so using cell a lot. Is it silly for me to push for full reimbursement? Is that pretty standard?

Anyone traveling while working remotely? If so, what are you using for internet on the road? I've tried hotels but their internet isnt compatible.

Experienced hires who have recently joined Big 4, how rough has the transition been?

Is it a normal thing in Big4 to have a really slow and non-responsive onboarding?? I start with KPMG UK next week, and still don’t know how my 1st day will look like and what’s the agenda or my login credentials.

I interviewed for an analyst position with Deloitte about 2 weeks ago and was told that they would get back to me by end of last week. I haven’t heard anything from them and reached out to my recruiter for updates but didn’t hear from her either. Did anyone have a similar experience?
