Yes, expected to cut people each year (except recently for Covid reasons). if you’re at A3 or similar cohorts at other levels you get promoted or let go in theory (although there are exceptions) but most people can tell in advance and start looking

Literally all of big4 and MBB has this culture. It’s not a secret. I think in this labor market it’s a little relaxed, but it remains.

Idk eyp seems to just let you go up at least to the consultant level (unless you can’t tie your shoes or spell correctly in your meeting minutes)

Yes. It was berry stressful so I left.

A3? Isn’t it A2 -> SA?

No, recent announcements is that it is easier to get promoted faster if you’re ready (removing tenure requirement), but that doesn’t mean they’re doing away with A3

It’s called up or on. It’s in your new joiner handbook.

Hi - yes we do. The amount of “out” that happens in a given year is dependent on a lot of factors (strength of pipeline, natural attrition) but it does exist every cycle. The firm does make exceptions and slides people horizontally (e.g., senior associate III-B if an SA3 is not ready for mgr) in some circumstances.

Yes. Tier 5 is a real thing

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
