Hi Fishes,

How is KPMG digital lighthouse in terms of WLB and career growth? What are the perks of joining KPMG India?

Please give some advice as I have an offer from PWC India as well.

I’m in-house at a small company (60 people), started right out of law school about 5 years ago. We had a legal team of 5 then. Everyone has left and we just hired a new GC. I went from $70k to $100k a little over a year ago. I am expecting an offer from a firm doing business law work but think this might be an opportunity to go to my current employer and ask for a significant raise, with new offer in hand. Any thoughts or advice going into this?

Thoughts on Wealth Management as an industry? Offered a role to work under a senior FA and eventually take over the book (~$800M AUM and growing).

I’d want to make sure the clients stay through the transition, and I don’t want to join a dying industry. Thoughts and advice?
