Aside from a strong resume, how important is a referral for KPMG? I’m eyeing a Power BI position within Deal Advisory & Strategy Analytics; however, I’m coming from the retail industry. I was furloughed and laid off this year. =( In the interim, I’ve done some freelance work and want to find a permanent home. Currently, I have the Tableau Certified Assoc. certification and MSCA: BI Reporting. Any tips or advice for applying from outside the consulting industry? Thanks.

How do I strategically discuss or negotiate remote work abroad in an interview or when verbally handed the offer?

I am currently interviewing a few of companies. I want to be able to travel (abroad) and work. Time zone isn't an issue, I can work at the same time zone or ensure significant time overlap.

How would you ask for remote work without setting anyone off?

In one interview today with Kundyl. Their expectation is to be available oncall 24*7... With work from office.

They literally got offended and stared at me for asking about WLB...

Seems companies are not learning, even after the great resignations.. the big names... Like TCS, ibm.. are not doing any changes to their work culture and ethics to improve WLB.

Any openings in Consulting? I'm an Experienced Associate at PwC (US) AC. Fresh hire from IIM. Need to switch since there's a lack of projects here

When do I begin adjusting? It’s been 4 months. I joined as an associate and I feel like sometimes my work is sloppy or I’m overwhelmed. I’ve gotten feedback that I’m making progress but that sounds fake. I’ve also gotten feedback that my work is sometimes sloppy. The last report I helped write had a ton of write ups on it. Feels like I’m about to get fired.

I have to say EY FDD interview process was very scary lol a little nervous on if I will be getting it or not

Shower thought:
Why did Toronto (or Canada?) change the exit signs from the classic red EXIT sign to the green running man? Wouldn’t it confuse more people especially elders in finding the exit?

Also isn’t it a waste of money for businesses to replace perfectly functional exit signs when renovating?

Once you’ve applied via referral link to a position, does it keep you in a referral pool or do you need to constantly get a new referral link if you apply to another role say 4 months later? Curious since they only last 30 days and i feel bad asking for a link a 3rd time now…..

Thanks in advance.
