Hi fishes, I joined early of June in NTT DATA as a senior software developer. After few internal project interviews I been selected very soon into one project. Laptop was delivered to my home address but no work assigned. I asked multiple times my manager to raise a ticket to install required software like visual studio. Manager said I'll raise ticket but I think she didn't raised. It's been 1 Month no one is assigning work. How should I do. Should I enjoy my free time or should I ask my mana ½

I have pals who previously worked at other tech firms (not at one of the Big 4) and are now employed at Apple. (I won't compare; I'll just say this.) Your remarks carry less weight if you are a relative newcomer, which frequently results in your inability to refuse unrealistic tasks.
I think you can adjust well if your workload at a big4 is pretty heavy. Once you're at Apple, expect that you'll be doing a lot of things. They'll give you several tasks to do even if you are new.
Thanks! Do you know if they offer flexible work arrangements for HR professionals such as standing weekly day off with of course a reduced pay?
Different benefits from EY. Similar, but definitely not identical. My ex worked at EY and I can say personally I prefer their benefits package but my ex is a senior manager and I am just starting out in my career so that could be why.
I have not looked into the benefits specifically for women or parents trying to concieve/adopt and I don’t know how Big Tech vs Big 4 differ there. My coworker supposedly used his benefits to do IVF for conception with his wife; I do not know if she works. I am almost certain he had paternity leave but I arrived after baby was born. But seems generous in that department.
Also most Big 4s seem to have a similar career ladder no matter the position or department, whereas different departments or sectors of work have different ways of advancing in Big Tech. And even within one department, sometimes, you can move up in two or more different ways.
M-FAANGs usually are about services and product innovation, customer service and B2B-including small businesses, nonprofits, etc.
Big 4s are about services and B2B for only high grossing clientele or gov contracts, so Big Tech is broader AND services/B2B are often very different than what Big 4 work entails.
I think you have an easier time financially investing in whatever/wherever you like while at Apple and probably other Big Tech companies, than I have seen in any Big 4 due to the restrictions they have as tax/auditing companies.
I appreciate your insight! Big4 vibe is generally pretty formal and conservative with some nuance in different departments. How are Apple employees/vibe? Also, do you know if vacation allowance is negotiable at time of offer?
