I went to school in DC and work in NY now. Personally I prefer NY more because there’s a lot more happening in terms of eating/drinking and activities. Places close earlier in DC and it is less bustling. However it is somewhat cheaper than NY, cleaner, and slowly becoming an up and coming spot for a lot of yuppies. Best of luck in your decision!

Hi All,

I have joined KPMG in June 2021 & it's been more than a year. The performance cycle here is Oct-Sept. I haven't spoken to my manager regarding hike during performance review assuming it will be given automatically post one year completion. Now I feel I should've discussed this before. Is there a possibility I can speak to my manager & get the deserved hike? Or will I have to wait till next performance cycle?(if it's not given in nov salary)

Hadn’t heard from him in a couple weeks then connected him to my friend who works for a company he’s trying to sell to. Then he asked if I’d set him up with my friend :( think I have any chance?
