Experienced. Impressed with my college-hired colleagues. Also usually impressed with my experienced colleagues. I'm just usually surprised by, and grateful for, the sheer volume of really smart people I get to work with

Out of college

Yes, I'd say so Prud1

I was hired straight out of graduate school as an intern at Smith Barney in 2007. Hired on as an advisor in 2008. Never would have hired me straight out of college unless I had done the internship first.

Experienced

Hey all,

What's with the probation period with Deloitte India? What's the rate of termination, if there are any, unlike the other firms (who have a probation but 99.99% of the employees are confirmed at the end of probation).

Appreciate your inputs.

Thank you.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
