Do you typically have to eat time on your jobs?

P&T AMA is mainly people asking softballs and wishing Joe happy birthday. While I do wish Joe a happy birthday as well, I'd love to see a more candid AMA... perhaps on this bowl, where people can ask what's REALLY on their minds without having to put their name to it? Kudos to the one guy boldly pointing out the current comp issues...

I'm trying to figure out how to pivot out of my current job. My department is in utter chaos, which has just become completely unmanageable. I'm looking for front-end web design work, and work from home. I am a strong designer and basically set up landing pages for large companies on a proprietary CMS in our company. If anyone knows of places I could apply? I'm not trying to reinvent myself as I do artwork on the side and would rather grow that business and get out of the chaos of fortune 500.

For exhibits to motions/responses in federal court, do law clerks prefer (1) citations to doc numbers or (2) attach exhibits to motion, even if the docs have already been filed with the court.

I started a few new business ( with debt) this year, and because the way my taxes looked with other losses it looks like I didn't make a ton of money. Now my credit dropped from 800 to 720 and I'm having trouble getting credit. Despite having a perfect payment history and fully able to cover all liabilities. Any way to get the credit up. If I pay off my liabilities then my credit history gets shot with young accounts. What's the best way to handle this?

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview? During the 1st interview, I learned that the compensation for the role is not within the range that I am looking for and requires 400 more billable hours a year than what I bill now. I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!

What can I do if I believe I’m being overcharged for utilities. I was charged prorated around 125 for 11 days for water and electricity (this is my share in a four bedroom apartment). I think this is crazy expensive for utilities for 11 days. I did just move to Austin, is it normal for utilities to be this high ?

Why does the P&T org view Suneet as a Pope-like figure?

Clearly he has ascended and is respected, but it’s comments like this — ‘Wow! You got to meet with Suneet?!?,’ that make me wonder. 🤔

What’s the (back)story? What am I missing?

Also the continual request(s) for self-validation is something I have never seen of someone at his level — and I’ve been around (and coached) a lot of executives.

What is up?

Hello all - I have been offered a role with a big 4 in Canada for the "Manager" level. Since, it is a new market, I am unaware of the salary benchmark and big4 pay range in Canada.

It would be of great help if you could assist with the pay range for a Manager working for a big4 in Canada? I do have a ball park figure in mind, after researching a bit online. But, if anyone actually knows that pay range in Canada, please let me know.

Man PwC PEVC is poaching KPMG Strategy folks like crazy! Recruiters are swarming the DMs out here. Does this mean that the good natured roasting that KPMG Strat gets is just for jokes and in actuality we’re actually well respected professionals? I’m actually very impressed with the practice and everyone I’ve worked with and I feel as though clients really gravitate towards us as well given the positive numbers this year. Jw what our true reputation is out here on the streets is all
