Never unless I have a meeting there. I'm in EY Atlanta office of the future - you can never get a damn office as a senior manager, what's the point of going...

Interesting model slalom. No travel AND never in the home office.

Almost every Friday (my Partner is old school)

That's absurd EY1. That sucks so much. I've been in once in the past year.

I live 7 minutes walk from the office, so no biggie... He's gotten more flexible over the years

Once every three months.

Never unless there is a mandatory meeting

For local office events!

@bcg1 I'm either at the client or I'm wfh. Going into the office is pointless, we have our socials at nearby establishments

Never ever ever

Hello RSM coworkers! I am thrilled to be moving to RSM into a Scheduler roll. I just found out yesterday and want to be as prepared as possible in the next steps.

So here are my questions.

How long does the background study take? I'm guessing admin staff have a study that is faster and less complicated than someone in Tax ect.

When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Fishes, Just wanted to know what is the salary band of associate 2 in Tax profile? Location is either Kolkata or Bangalore or Hyderabad.

I don’t think people understand what the difference between conservative and liberal judicial philosophies are. Liberal judges see the Constitution as guidelines for the court to interpret and then cement things into law that they deem reflect the current mood of the day, essentially serving as a tool for policymaking outside of the legislative branch. Conservative judges see their role as interpreting what is explicitly in the Constitution and that there are explicit constraints in it (cont’d)
