Hi all, I am considering the following three roles and wanted to get your inputs:
1. Sr. Manager at Deloitte
2. Associate Director at Accenture
3. Associate Partner at Infosys

Do you see these roles as roughly equivalent from a seniority standpoint? Assume that industry focus and pay is comparable in all three. Where would you go and why?

Partners, what are signs/examples that a project’s leadership is prioritizing the clients needs over the team beyond the normal ‘nature of client service’? Is a convo is worth it?

(1/2) For those w/ technical backgrounds: how did you develop executive communication skills? I’m a year into MBB (post MBA) and have had really great reviews on client, problem, and team

Hey fish

I have separate NPS account in which i was contributing for more than an year and now i see an option in my payroll portal like i can link my NPS PRAN to current org and employer will also contribute equally

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

I’m envious of the big status and points you international travelers get. I’ve always wondered how you get to travel internationally - just luck of the draw w projects? Or are you more senior?

If anyone needs a cfa tutor Dm me I tutor all levels.

Im not sure whats going wrong. I got a call from Microsoft recruiter , she told me budget is for 14lakhs , im shocked after hearing this as i already have 8.2 YOE into data analytics. I thought big branded companies offer huge hikes

Anyone from BCN here?
How is the overall flexibility in the firm? Do they allow wfh etc.

#1.1 How is return to site plan for NielsenIQ ? #1.2 Future plan on hybrid model - How many days in WFO & WFH per week/month/quarter/6m/year ?

I want to apply at Big 4 as an Senior Accountant, is it really very secure position? or is it a bad time to start a new job?

Any T&E associates in here who I could talk to? I’m a transactional tax associate at a v5 firm doing M&A and capital markets work and hating it. I’m a 4th year with an LLM and a clerkship and I think I regret not pursuing T&E or private wealth.

Has anyone dealt with stuffing allocation in a non-hedge fund context? It seems even in the HF world the law is fuzzy in using aggregate reverse 704c principles in stuffing allocations. Like, sure, the market is there but no authority really blessed it (other than some Cravath partner’s article in Tax Notes in 2013). If we are talking asset class that isn’t really like marketable securities but might be able to treat it similarly solely by virtue of, say, valuation on a quarterly basis (contd)

I am looking for Data Analyst roles at a good company. I’ve been applying non stop and it hasn’t been working any tips on how I can be successful in the job search process?

Looking for advice in context of being a EY SM that will be part of NewCo if it goes through. Would I be better off shooting for MD this year vs waiting 2-3 years for Partner?

Big 4 Partners, what is your take on mental health breaks? If an employee in your team takes a mental health leave would they be looked at unfavourably/ would someone’s candidature be shelved if they say they’re returning from a mental health break and looking for a job at your firm?

How do you identify potentials in people?

Anyone got the skinny on Alix consulting?

Got pinged by a recruiter for an MD role in digital transformation

He claims they compete with MBB and Alvarez.

Thoughts?

If an employee files a complaint about workplace behavior, do you treat them differently? I'm faced with reporting an SM for bullying and finding it near imposible to believe that it won't (cont'd)

Partners, what are signs/examples that a project’s leadership is prioritizing the clients needs over the team beyond the normal ‘nature of client service’? Is a convo is worth it?

PwC partners have any comments on the cohort model? A lot of complaints in PwC bowl arising from the disappointing adjustment and the constraints the model has imposed on career growth

I've heard a couple of things about how the partner pension amount @ PwC is determined, both similar in approach.

Both calculations I have heard of result in an annuity paid until death, at which point a surviving spouse (if any) receives the annuity.

The first calculation I have heard is that you get 80% of your highest earning year as a partner (e.g. If your best year was $1M, you'd get $800k as an annuity).

The second calculation I have heard is that they look at your three highest earning years as a partner, and take the second highest and you get 100% of that. (e.g if your three highest earning years were $1M, $800k, and $1.2M, you'd receive $1M as an annuity).

Is ANY of this true, or just all rumor? Any PwC partners that can chime in and explain the pension plan fact for fact? Perhaps with sample numbers?

How is a Partner’s sales bonus at your firm calculated? Also, what if multiple Partners have connections at the same client when a sale is made? How is the bonus fairly distributed?

Partners, what's been the impact to ongoing sales conversations? Do you think we're all screwed for the year?

How did you find out what you want in life? Feeling lost mid-career..

I thought this question would be best for partners who’ve been in the industry for awhile...

Big4 Advisory Partners/Principals - how much do you make in your 1st - 4th year as a partner/principal?
Trying to make a decision whether its worth continuing.

What’s the hardest things you find about being a partner?

What has been more beneficial to your career and why: specializing in a service offering or an industry?

With the CDC releasing new mandates, What are partners seeing from clients? Are they asking for full return to the office? I definitely want to keep staying wfh and not commuting :/

PwC is getting a lot of hate out there :(

At some Big 4 companies there is a Partner / Principal group that has equity and are part owners of the business and an equivalent Managing Director group that does not have equity and are essentially employees.

How does it work at McKinsey / Bain ? Do those same distinctions exist across partner types, owner vs non owner?

All else equal, is it easier to become direct admit PP rather than promoted to that role from SM or MD? Seems less obstacles. Thoughts?
