First year associate here—I got all “developing” on my engagement review from my manager. Is this good? Bad? The options are “needs improvement,” “developing,” and “proficient."

Talk to the manager about it. Developing ratings just mean you are WIP. Proficient indicates promotion readiness

For a first year? Neither good or bad really. What was in the commentary?

If nothing then they just phoned it in or are one of those people that thinks no first year is good at anything and shouldn't have their efforts recognized, unless you were really bad then you need to be PIPd and fired.

KPMG 4 you have to initiate the review in Performance connection. OP, as a first year staff it is common to get that rating when your right on target (middle of the pack). It's also very difficult in my opinion to get higher ratings as a 1st year unless you are drastically exceeding expectations.

Perfectly fine.

Wait. We get engagement reviews? ...My PML sucks

KPMG 4 your reviews should be written by the engagement teams not your pml

Thanks! You guys really helped; I wasn’t sure what to make of the review when I got it, and I felt weird asking my other first-year coworkers what kind of reviews they got. I got pretty good feedback from my manager in the write-in portions, a lot of positive stuff and some good constructive criticism on what I can work on. This gives me a lot of perspective!

Need advice. Very Shy guy and girl, met a while back for a side hustle both like each other a LOT, relationship has progressed in other areas but not in the physical realm, primarily because neither officially asked the other out. Guy is a very rough around edges, asked for a date by saying ‘anytime you need breakfast or lunch, let me know’. I am an independent gal and didn’t like the way it came across. I really want to take this forward but am out of ideas on how to make a date happen.

For staff/seniors in public accounting. Would you rather be paid 1 1/2 for your tax season overtime hours or would you prefer to wait for a big fat bonus check at the end of the company year? I heard KMPG paid overtime at 1.5 back in the day when the others didn't. I am sure they have now cut that out though.
