Anyone here at KPMG Lighthouse? I'm a Manager in KPMG's Deal Analytics team and am wanting to move away from the Alteryx/PBI-heavy work we do and start using my SQL/Python skills more. Would love to connect and learn more about what you all do, if my skill-set could be useful on any projects, and which skills I should keep developing to potentially initiate a transfer if the group is a better fit for my interests.

Feel free to DM and I can provide more specifics.

Hello,
I work in SAP Data Migration space.
Can anyone explain the difference between PWC SDC, PWC AC and PWC India?

I’m in my 4th year at a small plaintiffs’ firm. Past two years I’ve received meager raises (5k) and terrible bonuses (3k).
