Guys, need a suggestion. I have an infant and toddler at home with both of us working and no external help. Overall we are trying to get by one day at a time and struggle with that at times. We are at a goal setting time in KPMG and I am confused whether I should put some stretch goals. I am good at client work and covered for the next year but haven’t participated in org development or business development since covid hit. What would you all suggest? Should I focus on my strengths for now?

Focus on keeping your head above water, yourself employed, and your family taken care of. There is no shame this year in not pushing the extremes of your career with such important competing priorities. You will not look back and be glad you focused on the career and not the family.

Hello people. Need a suggestion and please provide your honest inputs. I'm with EY GDS (India) currently (3 YOE) with a package of 10LPA. Role is of Tax senior which is equivalent to team lead in general. I'm exploring roles in WELLS FARGO as I am looking into profiles in investment banking. Have done masters in banking and finance, also have retail banking experience of 4.5 years.
Just want to understand the salary structure and role in wells. What can I expect with the jump at most? Plz help.

I have two offers, one from Am Law 100 firm and one from Am Law 200 firm. Am Law 200 firm is offering 40K more (otherwise the firms have same hours target and, based on discussions, similar culture). I’m trying to decide between the two based on long term career prospects, both offer opportunity for NEP (not sure how realistic it is at either). Also not sure of overall earning potential down the road. Is the 40K now worth it or am I likely to make that up at the Am Law 100 firm in the future?
