Any other firms doing their “holiday” party on a Saturday? KPMG always crushes with the party but over the weekend is a weak ass move IMO.

All the PwC ones I’ve been to have been on Saturday evenings and are well attended. Maybe some other offices do them on other nights but they’d be exceptions.

KPMG NYC was a Thursday
