What’s the required PwC car insurance coverage? Do we really need it if we are not driving for work purposes? and only for commuting?

Hi Fishes,

Does anyone have worked at Vivid Economics or know about the company? There's very limited information/reviews about it. I was wondering if anyone could give me some insights, eg. the culture, people, the benefits, etc. Much appreciated!

What questions would you ask a recruiter when discussing benefits? What’s important?

EY folks - how do I increase my firm group life insurance coverage (not the group universal / variable policy)? My wife’s coverage is at like 3x my salary but mine is only at 1x my starting salary from 5 years ago…

Has anyone just taken a break from work without anything lined up? Every offer I’ve gotten wants me to start in a month and with 2 weeks notice that leaves me only 2 weeks to recharge. For my mental health I really think I need an extended break (like 3 months). I have about 60k liquid to sustain myself and pay about $1500 a month in rent.

If you take vacation, is the onus on you to make up that billable time? If so, how do you enjoy long vacations?

What is a good conversation value for IHG / holiday inn points ? Is “13k points for $100 room rate “ a good deal ?

What is your title and how much vacation do you get?

Does anyone know the exact holiday dates that we will have in the last week of December? Has anyone received any email communication regarding this?

Anyone here going to the EY holiday party this Thursday alone? I am 😅 and i think i’d be fun to meet other gals and keep each other company!

Serious question on what vacation means in the BigLaw world

Hi Fishes, howz the leave policy at mphasis?? Thanks

EY, what is the current maternity leave policy? Does the firm allow leave starting at 38 weeks? Is disability (6-8 weeks) separate from parental leave (16 weeks)? When is full eligibility - after 12 months of employment?

In the last week of december, do we have something like a global shutdown like deloitte usi? or do we have to exhaust our leaves during that time?

What is leave policy for TIAA GBS India?

Hi Folks, I have submitted the documents in last week 8 days ago for Test automation position. But still I didn't hear for further steps of HR round. I called HR, she said my docs are under review, they will get back to me. My question is what time it takes to release the offer for Persistent. Also anyone knows how is Accleriote BU at persistent, would be helpful for me. Thanks

How is the Jboss Fuse ESB project in Persistent? Any feedback will be helpful.

Hello, I am a junior business administrator working in advisory operations. I have been with the company for 6 months, and was employed along with 2 other colleagues. I have picked the job up really fast and am even doing some “extra curricula’s” I really love my job. However I have recently found out I am being paid the same as an apprentice on my team, I usually do at 3 x the work he does whilst also doing my Cert CII. It has really disheartened me and I feel I should be earning more money

I work at Deloitte. Am I allowed to buy Accenture stock?

Hi all,
I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly. However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?

Overheard & awkward conversations
