Had a final round interview at PWC with a partner for an SA role; it went well but was told in the interview that I am now interviewing for a manager role which threw me off. What are my chances?

Classic bait and switch. They’ll get you pumped up about the manager title and then downgrade you back to SA on the offer letter.

PWC is hiring? I thought they were laying tons of people off?

We were able to find homes in other lines of service for many of the staff, but not all. Lower performers were less likely to find a place to land. So it is true that the departures were “mostly low performers”. Not all, but most.

I think good, worst that could happen is you get knocked back to SA.

PwC doesn’t have a lot of flexibility with comp so partner may be pushing for Manager to meet your $$ expectations

Go for it!

@OP, didn't PwC have a hiring freeze?

Nope, there’s actually a lot of openings at the moment

Hi Fishes

Joined My new company this Jan. My previous income was not eligible for tax slabs. Now while adding the income from Apr 21-Mar 2022 it's become 5.9 LPA. I don't have any investments and in my new company I declared the same. The only tax exemption I have is PF contribution and professional tax. I have only 25K PF contribution and 2.5K professional tax. So while calculating the tax I am getting 15K as tax payable. How can I avoid this 15k. Kindly pour your suggestions. TIA.

Here is the TLDR LEK doesn’t suck post.

IMHO, our stint in consulting’s purpose is to develop a corporate strategy skillset. Doing CDDs is one of if not the best way to get a ton of reps and variety in our 18 - 24 month tenure.

With options among MBB, T2 incl S&, EYP, and general Big 4 / ACN MC:

- Take MBB (can ask for CDD, overall better comp package)
- Reject B4 MC (won’t get it here)
- T2 (pick other T2s if you want way more strategy projects that aren’t CDD / growth strategy)

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
