Any production companies or ad agencies based in The Fields Studios on W Diversey?

Hi Fishes, Great to connect here. I cleared my R1 for PepsiCo for L4 level. The HR told me I would have to attend 2 more rounds and they would get scheduled based on the panel's availability. Can anyone please help me with what kind of rounds they are going to be? Any insights would really help me in my preparation.

Thank you all for existing on Fishbowl and for being such a supportive community. It’s been a difficult year, but at the end of the day, I’m glad to have people to commiserate/celebrate with ❤️🙂❤️

My joining in EY GDS is Feb 21st, anyone else joining on the same day?

I have been interviewed on 23rd April and was asked to upload documents on the same day. From that day my application status is Review in Progress. Does anyone have any idea till when I can expect call from HR.

90% utilization, great snapshots BUT no relationships with the partners in my practice + currently on beach. Everyone I've worked with is shocked. Was told there were HC quotas. Not meritocratic.

I've been approached to advise a SAAS startup, series B roundwise, with a 4-5 hours per week expectation max. How would you figure out how much equity ask for (company is valued at 54m USD)?

Are all big 4s in India the same? Moved from US to India and the work in one of the Big4s for consulting is so bad!!

Anyone tried biossance skin care line? I’m Pregnant and wanted something safe and clean during my pregnancy.

🎉 Congrats to all who were promoted!

I'm updating my resume for the first time in 3 years and I'm struggling with how long it should be. I can get everything on to one page, but if I want to elaborate about my experience, it's going to be 1.5-2 pages.

Evening! Dog owners who live in condo rentals downtown.. did you tell your landlord you had a dog? I’m in a rental with a lease that says no pets (i’m sure a common clause?) and i didn’t have any pets moving in. 6 months in, i got a puppy lol. I don’t want to invite potential conflict by updating my landlord, my lawyer partner says the no pets clause is void in toronto anyway - but I worry about a bad landlord reference if they find out i.e come for repairs.

When did FedEx, UPS, and the likes stoping ringing your doorbell when they’ve delivered a package? I’m mean we’re all home. (Note: I’ve noticed this before COVID).
