I wear a Fishbowl Trollex

I hear WPP is switching to Rilex.

I think of Rolexes as weird, gauche old people things. I’m 28 and don’t at all get the appeal. It seems like the Hummer or suburban McMansion of fashion.

TBH, the Rolex is a relic that got a lot of attention in the 80s. Kind of like our president.

I have an old Rolodex. It really sends a message.

The submariner? Yeah

So this is anonymous, be honest- do any of you actually buy a rolex because it looks better than other cheaper watches, or do you just wear it so people know you're rich? Not judging, just curious.

At least get something other than the Submariner is all I’m saying. I thought we were creatives.

GMT Master. No regrets

Which one?

Yacht master or bust

It’s definitely to let others know they have “made it"

I think people buy it for the same reason others buy nice shoes, bags or cars.

If you think it’s solely a status symbol, you’re missing the point

Imo, I’d rather have the cost of a Rolex added to my salary or retirement so it has compound interest. I’m playing the long game.

I took an offer for campus hire at KPMG in Tech Strategy(Canada) this summer however I haven't been able to get my salary before signing due to complications. My estimate is 62k salary.

Now applied to Deloitte Digital and got an offer for 65k CAD + 2k signing bonus doing Salesforce.

Would I be stupid not to take the Deloitte offer on the table despite already signing with KPMG?

How badly would this look on my professional career?

How do PPMDs make sure when you are replacing an incumbent, you don't get handed down a broken system ? What sort of knowledge transfer and contractual framework do you get the client to agree to and how do you negotiate on that? I feel clients are not always honest and hide a lot of landmines which a consulting company can walk into and blamed for it.

2nd stage of our interview process is a technical challenge and a conceptual discussion (system design)

Do any of you have experience with structuring a technical challenge to where it's the same for each candidate? I've had it happen where our devs asked questions to each candidate based on their lived experience vs. a standard set of questions that revolve around what needs to be performed in a dev role.
