Working across from FF finance a lot - worst people I’ve ever worked with. Toxic. Know for a fact they are telling juniors to *not* be nice to the other side.

like

“We just don’t tolerate poor work product from other firms” is laughable given the product I’ve gotten from FF

Do not go to FF over Willkie under any circumstances

Would avoid both if you can

URGENT HELP NEEDED FISHES🙏🏾

I had recently accepted an offer from PwC India.
Now one of my friend has referred me for a related position at PwC AC.
I am required to apply on the Workday portal for that. But when I login , I see "Offer Accepted" in my profile.

Though I am able to fill for the PwC AC job...
My question is if I apply for it, will they get to know about my PwC india offer and they will rescind my PwC India offer as well as not proceed with the PwC AC Interview?

Pls help🙏🏾🙏🏾

Annual review advice?
I feel very secure in my long-term employment and am doing very well. I work at a midsized boutique with a generally solid culture. I’ve been described as “rising star/golden child” etc., glowing reviews. The thing is that I’ve had a tough year with absent mentors, low interaction/training (there are extenuating circumstances with my SA.) Do I mention what changes I need to see to stay here? Or just go along, accept my good reviews and bonus, and keep my head down?
