Hello,

I am moving fr PwC to Deloitte. Deloitte are using Microsoft Outlook, Skype etc. In PwC we use Google-suite - and I am a huge fan! How bad is transition to Microsoft? Any experience?

I haven't used Google, but I feel like the Microsoft applications are still pretty straightforward to use. You shouldn't have any problems adjusting

I love the Tasks app. So simple but so useful. I don't know why it's so much better than sticky notes or anything else but it just is.

My first two jobs used the Microsoft suite and I vastly preferred it over the Google products. Outlook is far better than gmail imo.

In my experience, PwC still relies heavily on the Microsoft products (at least in my group). I think your adjustment is going to be minimal

For those of you in healthcare related account management, what is your healthcare background? I am clinical and getting ready to hire a higher level account manager. I am really biased toward people with clinical/in hospital experience because, quite frankly, healthcare is a different beast - lots of hand holding and change management. I don’t want to miss the right person because of my bias, so im wondering how many healthcare related AMs have healthcare/clinical experience… thanks in advance!

Anyone go from SaaS / licensing sales to services (strategy & implementation) sales?

I work heavily in AWS and am looking to learn another cloud platform. I have zero knowledge of azure and gcp and would like input on which to learn. Azure would make sense since its the second largest in terms of market share, but GCP seems far more interesting and technically challenging with things like Kubernetes and BigQuery.

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
