There are several groups within the DA. Based on what i was heard FDD projects may be 2-6 months with just bit of traveling in the beginning of the project then working at the home office. For AAS, projects may vary from 6 months to 2 yrs with potential huge travel % since you will be working at a client site.

Work in FDD deals are typically three weeks. First year seniors are typically around 80k with 7-15% cash bonus at year end in my office. 3-5 days of travel a month on average. ^is accurate as it relates to AAS. Hours are sporadic, can be 90 can be 25 a week, just depends. It's all fine and dandy but the stress and an anxiety that come with it are pretty overwhelming. If you're coming from audit or tax and think things are stressful where you are, stay away, it's far worse.

I have a weird experience with KPMG India . Two weeks ago I had salary negotiation with the HR manager.

Shall I take it as no?

I recently applied for a position in one of McKinsey’s recently acquired firm for Senior Software Engineer (Team Lead).

I am applying to more positions through staffing agencies as one way to get a writing job. When they tell me the hourly rate and I suggest a few dollars higher per hour, they'll say, "Just so you know, the competition is priced lower than you."

Is this to scare me into submission to charge less so that they can profit more? Or is an employer really not going to pick me because I am priced 1-$2 more per hour than someone else? Wdyt?

I’m interviewing with the company although I have offer signed with another (going though background checks, so didn’t wanna stop before knowing 100%). Really love the process and the team, but unless something goes sideways with signed offer won’t be joining them. I have a colleague who is probably even better fit for the position, I know that she will enjoy the team too and would be happy for a chance to interview with them. How do I approach this?

6/2/22 check in. I’m done with my PM ride. what are your plans today?🙌
