Anyone have any worst interview stories? 100% bombed one yesterday, essentially just because I wasn't well prepared enough and I was super nervous. Knew what I wanted to say and said none of it, pretty sure I blacked out for at least some of it. Tell me I'm not the only one, (!!) or tips for self confidence are also welcome.

Had my first round of interview with Google. It’s almost a week but I haven’t gotten any feedback. Is that the normal practice?

Hello,

I have cleared interview with Wipro a month ago and after 15 days I received a simple mail from HR saying you are selected.

Since that day, there is no communication from HR team of Wipro . I tired of sending multiple emails and when I tried to call he always declines my call.

Between director of respected technology is reaching me and he wants me to join ASAP and take over the project work.

What should I do now?

Thanks

Hi fishes,

My interview with Microsoft for SE2 was scheduled and cancelled a day before. Neither I received any email regarding cancellation nor the recruiter informed me. Two days later I got an email saying Microsoft is freezing hiring for certain departments and the recruiter is ghosting me. Will I even get a chance to interview atleast?

H1B visa stamped.

While applying for visa my company quoted 80K as compensation. Now they want to reduce it to 75K.

This feels like unfair practice. Is it common? What should be my approach?

Sign on bonus for EYP post-MBA Consultant role? Strategy group if that matters

Did anyone put a two week notice and was asked to leave immediately because you were on bench? Not leaving for a competitor

Thoughts on product strategy @ FB?

From 180k full time to 200k and 10 percent sweat equity in a boutique consulting firm as their cto, to kickstart their AWS practice .. any thoughts. This new company does not have any product thinking or strategy and full lifecycle cloud delivery pedigree yet ..

I believe in the philosophy of learning from other's experiences, success stories, mistakes and regrets while keeping in mind that similar set of life events may unfold into totally different ways/outcomes for others as there are always too many variables in the equation called LIFE. People may arrive at different destinations at different times while being on the almost similar path.

That being said-

If given a chance to RELIVE your life again, what would you do differently and why?

Fishes, would you be willing to move to a new company for $20K increase in your base pay? No sign-on bonus and not a target company.

Thanks a lot

I am not in law school yet. But I was wondering where I can find out about other opportunities besides the standard tax attorney route. I am almost a CPA and currently in audit.

As a law student interested in going into the field I’ve seen a lot of negative comments saying that only lawyers who couldn’t get into big law go into PA. Although I know most people try to get into big law initially, it is very competitive and many don’t stay past 2-3 years. You certainly don’t make as much going into PA as a lawyer but the pay is certainly not bad and the WLB is generally much better. Can anyone speak to how they got into PA and if you would rather be working in Big Law

Can anyone please share their experience or insight into a controversy & dispute resolution associate role with the big4? What does it involve day to day, WLB, compensation (NY/DC locations), exit opportunities (foreign LLB/GULC tax LLM)? How does the work in WNT differ from other offices? KPMG Deloitte PwC Grant Thornton BDO EY

What are some career prospects as a JD LLM? Interested in big 4 and elsewhere other than your typical ITS and M&A groups.

What are the avenues of going into WNT as a manager? Could someone describe their experience at a WNT team?

Let's discuss, what do you think of the LSAT becoming optional or the ABA abolishing it all together? Looks like it'll be gone by 2025.

Can anyone set light on starting salary of JD/ tax LLM (GULC), for associate in Big4 tax controversy and dispute resolution?

Anyone have a full-time Big 4 offer (JD/LLM) with a signing bonus in Dallas or similar COL? My recruiter says it’s not negotiable but if I know of someone from a competitor with a higher bonus then she can see what she can do.

What is the learning curve/different expectations for an attorney versus a CPA in a first year associate role? I just started, but a bit confused on how I can best contribute my legal skills and anxious about not being an expert on accounting principles.

I’ve heard people say that despite having a legal degree that pay between CPA’s and lawyers evens out at manager level. Is there any truth to this?

Just started b4 m&a — first job out of law school for reference — I don’t know what I’m doing at all and imposter syndrome is kicking in very badly. Any helpful resources ppl recommend for starting out?

Do any attorneys here also have side gigs? Besides clearing conflicts and having professional liability insurance, is there anything else I need to consider?

Anyone leave PA to work at a firm? What’s your experience been like? Any regrets? Tips?

Do you think you'll stay in public accounting for your entire career? What areas or roles do people typically exit to?

Would you consider compliance or due diligence more tedious?
