My guess would be Deloitte?

@A4, my transition was very recent so I can't compare much so far. As for why I left, I was working on a project outside Interactive, for about a year, and the tech I specialize in we hadn't been selling well so there wasn't any likely hook of realigning with my goals in the near future. Just wasn't in a role that was a fit and didn't have any internal alternatives.

Not at all. I would tell them you're leaving (obv) but leave on good terms. You could end up wanting your old job back

No but they might ask and it gets pretty sketch if you don't tell them.

Hope* not hook

Meh, if someone asks I plan on keeping it at, "it's a better fit for what I'm looking to do." Maybe even just "a better fit". I don't plan on updating my LinkedIn for some months and honestly don't care if they find out by then. The consulting space is small enough that I really don't want to work against more than I have to by broadcasting my moves. Thanks for the feedback please keep it coming lol.

I need some insight. Just had a phone interview for a management job in healthcare. I felt comfortable and felt like the interview went well. I ask questions and the ACNO said that I asked great questions. They said that they had other interviews to do as well but said the next step is to bring me in for an on-site interview (I live 1,000 miles away) and that the recruiter would be reaching out. Thoughts? I’m going to drive myself crazy analyzing everything.

Hi all, was hoping for clarity on offers from FANG/Tier 2 tech I received recently. Base pay is still within range of 130-150K, but equity components have dropped dramatically. For reference, for similar positions, I was receiving grants of 150K - 200K over 4 years for data analyst positions (4-5 YOE) in Aug’21-Feb’22. For personal reasons, I did not accept these offers. Now the equity grants are coming in like 50-70K over 4 years. Is this market wide for non SWE/PM roles due to stock market?

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
