Hi fishes, I just joined PWC SDC kolkata, so how is the work culture and the work life balance here...any insights!!!

Bain is hosting holiday party at Joy District Club in Chicago… KPMG needs to step it up…

I woke up today tired.

My work cell was buzzing and then I remembered something.

I forgot to thank the bus driver that dropped me off a few days ago.

I got up and rushed downstairs to find the bus driver.

It was raining outside but I was already running barefoot to the bus stop.

I stood there soaked in my pajamas as the bus approached.

Then, the door opened. The driver got up and shook my hand.

I sat down and started my shift.

I’m the bus driver. Reminder to love and thank yourself.

Moving in the NYC area. My internet options are Fios, RCN and Spectrum. Which one should I go with? I currently have RCN, but don’t really have a preference. Appreciate the help.

IBM started to drop the mail for join Slack etc. and the mail for laptop request for new hire .

What if I don't join on the last day or deny to join on last day ? Because still need to decide between two offers .

What's Deloitte's paternity leave policy? And how long do you have to work there before becoming eligible?

When do you officially put in your two weeks? I have a written offer I intend to sign, but should I wait until they clear all the background checks and such (I have no more than a speeding ticket so I’ll pass). This is the first real job I’ve quit

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit. Leadership seem to not want to hear the truth so people tell them what they want to hear and if you don’t middle management gets pissed at you. I am seriously thinking about looking somewhere else. My question is how do you answer the “why are you looking to leave” question without bad mouthing your current company?

I am new to the team and i am facing lots of issues while doing my workspace setup.I have 3 yrs of experience and all of the guys in my team are atleast 7+ yrs. My team ( 6 onshore+2offshore including me) = 8
If I keep on asking for help again and in the team meetings what my lead will think about me as a developer and everyone will be fed up from me seeing me asking for help repeatedly.
Have you guys faced such situations with your juniors what should I do or what I can do differently.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

Anyone have pay/salaries for Instrumentation work? Not industrial but physical applications of strain gages, temperature, pressure, voltages, displacements, accelerations…

Why have cryptos crashed so much since yesterday eve?

What do you wear when your firm sends you to do law school recruitment? (I’m a woman fwiw)

At some points, I feel I am becoming a problem magnet 🧲. Anything I touch or get involved in, tun into a nightmare despite doing my best not to screw up. I was a top performer a few months ago, and now I am a team blocker. I feel it so hard to disappoint people around me whom I respect a lot. Helpless 😞😞😞

Anyone know how to be selected for Prestige 40 under 40? Don’t think can apply

Do you think women in the industry are paid lesser as compared to men.
Out of personal experience ,I can see that during compensation discussion HR person tries to convince a women candidate for a lesser package . Now this could also be the case where it is much easier to convince women to take up the job for lesser salary.
Whereas the male team member gets paid high (same YOE , same number of switch , similar prev CTC) though women are equally or more talented sometimes.

Hey i had my HR discussion with Infosys HR, they are not even ready to match my counter offer, they will release the offer tomorrow, how to renegotiate now, any tips, they are saying they can't go beyond that for the role. Tried to convince him, but no luck, thinking to have a discussion at the last moment now. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Hi Guys , we husband wife makes 50 LPA . Now, my company is giving me onsite to Europe , do you think it is worth taking it ?

Is it really that hard for managers to book their own conference rooms and send out invites? The time it takes to ask one to do it could it not have just been done by themselves?

Has anyone been able to negotiate anything extra or terms when being laid off?

How did your agency handle layoffs? All-agency meeting before they started? After they ended? Both?

Kinda sorta trying to predict if I’m losing my job tomorrow.

Looking for cost-friendly computer speaker recommendations, preferably not bulky. My laptop and monitor audio is absolutely terrible!

Went from an agency that does daily morning statuses to a place that does one a week, if that 🙌🏼🙌🏼 🙌🏼 it’s the little things y’all

My new agency’s healthcare plan only has ONE physician in NYC listed as in-network... is a plan this limited the norm?!

Is it that bad to leave an agency after a few months as a junior? Been at my agency for 6 months and seeing no possibilities to grow and have my ideas heard. Wanna start job hunting. Is this ok?

I've seen quite a few people make jokes about being "aged out" of advertising. Could someone please explain what that looks like and when that typically happens? Forgive the dumb question, I'm a newbie to the industry so I'm a bit confused. Wouldn't agencies want people with more experience?

Without asking or confirming, account lead booked an in-person client meeting that requires travel. Who books ~any~ major client meeting without first checking with the team ?

Any other integrated agencies working in Agile across the full agency? Trying to understand how this plays out as we roll it out.

Marcel here. So instead of talking behind my back, how about saying it to my face? Here I am, ready to answer questions, concerns, or just talk sports. So what would you like to know? 🤖

How do you politely tell a recruiter that you do not offer “holds”

Other good markets that pay well enough to match the income taxes? BF and I just finished our state taxes and that IL tax hike was not cool to our current salaries..

Traits of your favorite account people?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Are there any agencies where creatives actually have good work-life balance in LA, SF or anywhere else for that matter? Like no weekends or no working more than a 40-50hr week? Or do I have to go in house for this? Or do I have to leave advertising altogether?

I feel like I’m either getting burnt out by work or trying to heal myself from it. There’s never much time for real life and I don’t want to be on my death bed reminiscing like, “Wow, I made some cool ads.” Nothing scares me more.

A little humor sprinkled in a resume. Yay? Nay?

Is it normal for every single call (client or internal) everyone dials in from their desks at an open format office? Everyone avoids takings calls together/conference rooms like the plague.
