Accenture has a huge state and local practice in Austin, also a deliver center(maybe related?). Kpmg has some stuff in town but it’s mostly audit related. I know EY has an office here but not what they have. Booz and Deloitte both have stuff locally.

If you’re not interested in a travel role finding something in the state game is a great move.

All honesty a referral is almost always better, and I’m not sure how things are going in the current climate, but I got a job at ACN by just applying(a while back). A lot of places are having hiring freezes or layoffs so that may not be the best approach.

If I was to make a suggestion I’d start making targeted requests for referrals in here or some of the other highly populated bowls, once you found a role you were interested in.

Hi friends,

I'm a new joinee in MSFT.

People in my team they don't come with me for breaks. (They blame the timings are different since they sit in crits but i don't think so because they have their own group of friends to go with)

Secondly, when my team members see me in cafeteria we expect they'll sit with us but people here are being rude they directly go and sit with their friends they don't call you to join. ( atleast they could have said they are accompanied)

People behave unpleasant
