A bi-weekly meeting with someone on the leadership team that interviewed you. Personal introductions to X amount of partners so that you can build a network quickly.

People's time is probably the easiest request they can fulfill.

Is PTO negotiable? Thought that was a policy thing

Took the words out of my mouth EY1. If they don’t have a program like that ask for airline club reimbursement and Amex platinum

EY1 can you share anything about internal frequent traveler status at EY? Is it mainly about airline lounge reimbursement?

You can book business over 3 hours on internal flights, get reimbursed for an airline club and book some out of policy hotels.

Hello!
I'm italian, 26 yo and currently working in France as financial analyst.
Work environment is great, friendly and multicultural but I don't like the job at all.
Personal life is not so nice since I manage to see my family and gf every 30/45 days only. Colleagues have their own lives and at the end we don't hang out much.
My dilemma is:
A) going back to Italy at a lower salary with less growth opps but better personal life or
B) Switching my job here and hold on

What would you do?

Thx! :)

Hi guys, I got a feeling that big 4 or T2 companies kinda quiet in jakarta as opposed to MBB where they conduct lots of recruiting events (management consulting). Any reason for that particularly or maybe big 4 prefer internal hiring only?

I have submitted the documents for LTI..before an formal HR call one lady HR called me and ask for expected CTC..i have one offer in hand and i demand 20% of that offer as fixed..she asked me to negotiate and so i went for 20% of offer as total CTC instead of fixed..she simply said OK thats it..and call ended..will I get positive note from them....?

In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?
