Has anyone tried to work in a non US PwC office while traveling (on vacay)? Are we allowed to? I need to extend my vacation due to personal issues but I have a deadline coming up and need to work (con

Thoughts on Overstock OSTK since the holiday is around the corner at the current share price ~67?

Recent lateral junior associate in brand new practice where I'm the only associate. I'm probably going to bill 1,500 hours max this year due to being very slow and taking time off for a delayed honeymoon which I disclosed during my interview process. I have been told my work product is good, I don't turn anything down, I participate in non-billable work, I'm responsive and I always let people know I'm available to help. Do I need to be worried about getting fired for low hours?

How do I divide the chores in this case? I’m the breadwinner - husband has been taking time off from work. No kids. Two dogs.

I feel like I do more chores because there are some things that I just can’t stand. Like dishes left in the sink, dirty floor, dirty dogs, laundry…etc. When I ask him to do those chores, he says he will do them later but he takes forever. So I do them instead. He does grocery shopping, yard work, some cooking. Is it unfair if I repeatedly ask him to do more? 😡😡

What's happening in Raleigh? Use this thread to share events, concerts, holiday markets, or anything else that's going on in the area this weekend!

I have a hand full of k-5 students who have gone the first half of the school year without music because of remote learning. Our district is moving to 100% traditional teaching after the MLK holiday. Any suggestions for reintroducing concepts to the group of students that’ll be joining us f2f for music the first time this school year?

Anybody ever regret moving from B4 to a start up? Just because there’s so many less perks (lots of PTO, fun events, etc)?

Just had a look at some start-ups that are hiring and a lot of them offer unlimited vacation days... think this is a good practice?

Does everyone use up all of their vacation days or some of you have days that are never used and eventually wasted at EOY?

Partners - Do you ever take vacations?

I have been at my current firm for about 1.5 years, and in that entire time the partner in my group hasn't been out of the office a single time. Is that normal? I can't tell if it's standard for big law partners to not take time off, if the dynamics for my group may be different (only 1 partner in the entire group), or it the partner I work with is just a masochist.

How does a person change their mindset to be more positive? I feel like I’m meant for my job, but blame all my life problems on it….having no energy, being single at the age of 30, etc. and it seems like a never ending loop. I look for new jobs, realize I have a good job then am ok for a bit then start it all over again. When I’m off of work I’m fine and realize I have it pretty good. Only real negative is I can’t vacation with my family in March due to my busy time.

Have been sober for many years but currently relapsed and am in a downward spiral. I’m close to losing my family but I can’t seem to get my head together. Feel like I need a few months out, maybe take some time off work… has anyone done similar and did it help?

What length of vacation do you usually take? I’m a big fan of taking many 4 day weekends (instead of 1 or 2 longer vacays) but apparently those aren’t encouraged in the Big Law world?

I received a verbal offer for a VP position at CCB line of business at JPMC in NYC two weeks ago. The recruiter asked for salary expectations but there was no number set. It’s been two weeks since and complete radio silence. I sent an email to a hiring manager a week ago but received no reply. It’s August so people could be on vacation but this is really strange. Has anyone had similar experience?

Hey CGI folks, from where can I see current year holiday list for 2021 in India?

If you were in a private company assistant controller position being offered $10k more to switch over to public and much better PTO days and fully remote as opposed to an in office position that I’m currently at in a Real estate growing company. Would u do the switch back to public (left public just recently)?

What is a good conversation value for IHG / holiday inn points ? Is “13k points for $100 room rate “ a good deal ?

I’ve been a family caregiver for four years, and now look to return to the workforce. I realize that this will be a bit difficult, especially during these economic conditions, plus other factors, such as being an older employee, etc. I updated my account with a few job sites, adding on the fact that I took time off to care for a family member. I would appreciate some advice, anything that would be helpful.

What’s everyone doing right now? 🧐

Deloitte fish: I’m an alum trying to do some retirement planning. I was an SM2 vested in the pension plan (I worked in DTTL for 7 years ending 2013) and want to find out what my actual benefits will be and at what age. I have no paperwork and 800-Deloitte does not seem to have a way to route me to the right people. Does anyone have a human contact or procedure that can help me get this info?

Anybody who recently joined Capgemini? Please DM me i want to ask some questions. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Are virtual doc visits the way to go now instead of urgent care? Recently tested neg for COVID but experiencing some cough/cold going on a week now. Need stronger meds.

Started hormones yesterday. I did not realize how restrictive this was going to be with random bloodwork / ultrasounds. Thought I could halt travel for 2 wks and do 7am appts. So hard with our job!

Anyone with stage IV endo and recurring Endometriomas gone on Lupron after egg retrieval? I’m still on birth control but my doc said after egg retrieval (assuming we get a strong embryo), I’d get off of birth control and on lupron for two months before transfer. The reason I’m not getting off of birth control now is because it manages my pain.

I just cleared my AWS Cloud Practitioner exam and am curious whether I should pursue Solutions Architect Associate and/or Developer Associate certificate next. My plan is to get about 7 certificates in the areas that interest me, even though they are not needed for my role. Have you gotten both? Any recommendation to which to pursue first?

So is being an in-charge sitting around doing stuff all day but still feeling like you got nothing done?

Hi 🐠- I’m in the process of applying for my California CPA license now, but my goal is to have my license transferred to Texas since I just relocated to Texas. In this case, should I apply for general CPA license, or attestation CPA license? Does Texas accept both kinds?
Background: I have 2.5 years audit experience and now in advisory. Thank you 🙏

Should I wait to negotiate with collections for rent break fee or go with 6 month payment plan with the apartment complex?

Is residency / working in a state required to obtain a CPA license there? If I live and work in state A, is it possible to obtain a CPA license in state B?

I started interviewing elsewhere and it’s moving much faster than i expected. I could have an offer next week, my busy season officially ends until 12/15. How bad am i burning brides leaving on 11/4?

I know this is a lot for fishbowl but I recently experienced a very traumatic sexual assault. It is almost impossible to keep it together &I’m having a very hard time getting work done. Any advice?

Are yearly bonuses worth meeting your goals for?

Being a senior feels so weird. I miss being an experienced associate and just crushing work for hours. I have ADHD and it’s super hard to manage the constant interruptions. I feel like the only time I get to myself is like 8-midnight

Has anyone successfully leveraged a competing big4 offer to get a raise at your current position? Same service line.

How would you suggest an interest in an internal transfer? I’ve seen job postings on LinkedIn, but don’t have a direct contact.

I’m interviewing for a position with EY FAAS in NYC. Can anyone speak to what the environment and people are like?

Been here several years. Only just clicked to me how predatory Big 4 are.

Business model is to use cheap, underpaid labor from college grads who can't go elsewhere or pay debts. Churn em and burn em.

Has anyone ever actually seen/had to cover up something sketchy on an audit?

I’m in tax and failed REG for the second time... it was by a few points, but still. I’m not really sure what’s going on. Super bummed out but taking it again soon Hopefully third time’s a charm 🙏🏼

Deloitte FL/PR is turning into a joke.. if firm morale wasn't already suffering from layoffs, they increase minimum hours through December while half the offices are unassigned. Abandon ship.

I heard New Senior Program is canceled for this year. 👀
