Can anyone speak to culture of the EC/VC and M&A groups at WSGR? Looking at remote positions. Thanks!

Does anyone know of any website that lets you filter in-house positions by those who allow remote work? I’m assuming this does not exist but wanted to see if any of y’all have any thoughts.

I need recommendations for nice maternity work pants. My office is WFH but I occasionally need to go in. I’m 16 weeks (first pregnancy) and today realized in a panic when I attempted to get dressed that my work pants are either too tight in the waist to wear or getting there. I’m tall (5’10”) and usually wear Theory, Rag and Bone or J. Crew work pants. Any suggestions for nice black maternity pants that I could pair with a blouse or blazer? Thx!!

KPMG folks - thinking about joining your ITS practice in NYC or NJ office. No JD, but have a masters in tax and a CPA license. How’s the culture like in those offices? Thanks.

I live in and absolutely love California. No other state compares in my mind (industry, career opportunities, salary, culture, diversity, food, weather, landscape, political inclination, etc). If I were to consider temporarily (2-3 years) moving to another state to accumulate more wealth on the way to FI, what states (specifically cities) would make me least miserable?

Need reviews for Hitachi vantara..how is the wlb there and the work culture..

shifted my schedule to where I crank things out during 4pm-4am. Am I the only one? During the day I’m in meetings back to back, pings almost every 20 minutes. I really love WFH, I’m never going to be able to do this 🤧😭😢

(1/2) I started a new job less than a month ago at a large firm with a significant pay increase. I work remotely- which is a special arrangement. They paid for my travel to their headquarters for in-person training. After interacting with my manager and some of the attorneys, I feel like I made a mistake. Manager is demeaning and rude. A bunch of the attorneys dropped not so subtle hints that people who work from home are causing all kinds of problems. I don’t know what to do.

What do you think your firm will do to create work community locally if client travel doesn’t resume as expected for several years? At the moment, covid is still a factor preventing gatherings, but what about when we reach agreeable vaccination/immunity levels and there’s still no demand from the client to pay for consultants on site? Just thinking wfh is fine while in continual pause of normal but what’s next?

Just realized consulting culture is like Hunger Games.

Curious how much i can ask for when starting 100%WFH. I used to hybrid 3times a week and recently accepted new offer for 100%remote. What would be things I should ask for?? I switched to ux from consulting and unsure till what point is appropriate to ask for..

Hi everyone! I am new to Fishbowl - didn't even know this is a thing! I am looking for a Recruiter - fast paced, energetic, personable, strategic, forward thinking, thorough and good at building relationships. Can be remote some of the time, but really needs to be local - Knox (outside of), TN. I would really like to have someone who has some accounting recruiting experience.

As a new joiner.. is micromanaging the culture at all Big four firms ? Or does it depend on what service line your in?

I make over a quarter of a million dollars a year working in finance and since wfh over half my "work hours" time I'm just playing video games or reading a book.

Hey pharma fishes - I head up a boutique agency focused primarily on healthtech, including several companies who are service/solution providers for life sciences orgs. We’re looking for FL writers who know the business of the industry, and can tackle B2B content for product developers. Interesting brands and an opportunity to hop on the various ways they’re digitizing fast. DM me if you’re interested. Remote is totally cool.

For those of you who spent a long time in big law (at least 10 years but more along the lines of 15+), when did you know it was time to do something else (maybe in the law, maybe not)? I don’t know if it’s wfh or just the work now, but I’m finding myself getting amazingly frustrated at things that barely bothered me before. I had an argument with opposing counsel last week and was seeing red for hours after that, and little things seem to bother me much much more than they would have before

EY Performance Improvement 🐠 - I would like to learn more about your work and culture before I apply

So teachers have to go back to the classroom even though we are still remote. The justification is to "prepare for going f2f" but there's no date for that yet. Is the real reason because they don't trust us to do our jobs?

I’ve been having a hard time during the pandemic WFH. I’ve been diagnosed with major depression & anxiety. I don’t interact much with others for work and have been able to keep this to myself. We have yr end reviews coming up. I know it will be a bad one for me. I’ve invested in 2x/week therapy (at a financial loss) to improve my health. I’m feeling better. Is there anything that a staff could do/say at reviews that would cause you to give them a 2nd chance? I love it here and want to improve.

Recommendations for a wfh office chair? Preferably on the lower end of the range with good height.

Office is closed but raise your hand if you’re working from home! 🤙

Saw a post recently about wlb being worse at a startup than consulting. Interviewing with an unicorn which is expected to ipo in may be 5 years. So trying to get an idea of what the consensus is based on folks who have already left. Role is semi-technical- solution architect.

Our holiday party was officially canceled due to COVID. Welcome back WFH.

Can anyone provide some guidance to taking the CFE? As in which membership option to choose from followed by when exactly can we take the exam, if the entire amount is reimbursed or not?

What factors do you all think determines who you are attracted to (with respect to how attractive they are)? Do you think your own attractiveness level plays a role in how you see someone else?

On the bench this week, have PTO Friday, but have already mentally checked out and it’s not even noon on Monday. I feel guilty about not feeling guilty. I just had to say it to all the randoms on FB.

Am I the only one who would raise their eyebrows when people reaching out with “Hey - blahblahblah”? Is that difficult to spell out people’s first name? Do you also reach out to higher ranks with a “Hey”?

KPMG 🐠: Had 3rd phone interview (MD lvl) 1.5weeks ago but have not heard back, advice on next steps? (I reached on Mon for update, no resp)

The subway ride to JFK was a straight horror show mid-day today. I use to take the same ride at 3am and it was fine. NYC has really changed since the pandemic ☹

Any tips for staying fit on vacation? Have an international trip where I want to eat and drink, but don’t want to totally ruin all of the progress I’ve made over the past 6 months...

How many PTO s get carried over to the next year in Deloitte USI?

Reached out to the head of Firm A (who I had a last-round interview with a few weeks ago) to say that I received an offer from Firm B but still want to work for them. The head said that I'm one of the top candidates and that they want to schedule more time to talk in detail tomorrow. What could this mean?

Is an MBA to a lower tiered school or specialized marketing graduate certificate more valuable to a hiring manager these days? My goal is to transition into marketing & become a lifecycle marketing manager. Thank you for your feedback!

Hi there! I need some guidance. HR and global leadership rolled out some amazing new initiatives like not starting until 10 am on Mondays, no meeting Fridays and required 2 additional summer days a month. The problem is, my boss refuses to comply with the initiatives. He constantly scheduled meetings before 8 am on Mondays and after 7 pm on Fridays. He also doesn’t let me take time off. Should I go to HR? I’m really not one to complain but I’m tired and extremely burnt out. Thanks for your help!

Desi fish did anyone had to send Proof or purchase when you bought tickets for parents on Etihad? I have to send passport , CC and CC statement copies signed since the name on the CC is not the same

Hyatt messed up and as a result offered me points for the inconvenience; that was two weeks ago, and I haven't seen the points being added to my account yet. How long should I wait before I follow up?
