Before: I worked only at nonprofits. I was used to everybody filling all 8 hours of our day with plenty of work, and it was because we had to raise funds to operate, and there was no extra room for roles that didn’t get used fully. Now: I'm in a new role at a federal gov't agency, and I don’t have enough work. It seems some/many others also don’t have enough in their area to fill 40 hours a week. Any insights from others who have worked in both sectors - comparing workloads and staffing levels?

I have worked in both the industries among others. I have the same insight as you. Work picks up during certain quarters and usually q4 and q1 are the slower than usual coz of auditing and other purposes. Hope you’re full-time employee and it doesn’t impact you pay. All the best!

Hey Fishes I have completed close to 4.5 years in EY under the Tax Operation team specialized in resource management. I am getting only 7.5lpa inspite of getting "Strategic Impact" which is the highest reward category. I was supposed to get a skip level promotion which the HR had rejected for some reason. I feel I am really underpaid and EY is not valuing me as an employee. Based on ur experience can you let me know the actual market rate for my profile?

Anyone have access to the CES press list? I'd be very grateful! There's an Amazon gift card in it for you ;)
