Accepted my KPMG offer today! Now..if my senior manager is on PTO this week...do I have to wait until he’s back to give notice? Trying to give myself 1-2 weeks off between gigs.

What is so great about KPMG that I’m missing? Do they pay better, have more interesting clients, less travel, or better hours?

like

Lower utilization %, easier to give recognition (no need to be manager to give applause awards), yearly training (not sure if this is a perk but going to AU provides more opportunity to network across the firm), better accessibility to PPD, bonus based on adjusted utilization, multiple mentors, less competitive, 8k retention bonus if u stick around 3 years

Travel, client, work hours, all of those depends on the engagement.

Congratulations and welcome aboard! I left D for a position with KPMG. Greener pastures, my friend.

Email to SM and copy HR and partner etc. let the process begin. Also send separate email on top of your first email stating that you are anxious since SM is around and you do really hope that the first email date should be counted towards tour 2 week notice.

D2 - Considerably better pay (north of 30%). Better clients with respect to my industry focus. Same travel, but less hours. Also, corporate culture is more collegial.

OP here - I wouldn’t burn any bridges telling the engagement manager vs my senior manager? Trying to figure out the best way to go about this!

OP again - the SM is the one I report to and meet with once a week just to give more context

OP, the bridge burning is really only going to happen if you don't give a full 2 weeks to transition your work, which presumably is mostly something you need time to work with the EM on. If you have extra time and can give 2 weeks after the SM is back, that's fine to wait, but I wouldn't worry about it if you need to start the process now. The SM will understand.

Did you tell D where you were going? Curious how that went, or how others approach the conversation.
