Hi all. Just wanted some advice. I’m currently two years into my role, and liking it. Pay is great, and I’m fully remote. Only problem is, we are being acquired by a massive PE (Apollo) company. The sale should go through soon. They have a history of layoffs. I wasn’t looking but got recruited for a position that pays more with JPMorgan, BUT it’s hybrid. I really value the flex to work from anywhere. This would be an obvious no if not for pending PE sale. What would you guys do? Thanks to all.

Would your manager have any idea whether your role would be on the chopping block or not? I'd be apt to ask - you never know how much information he/she has about the acquisition. If not, then I'd probably go with JP Morgan. It's more secure and more money. I'd also probably ask if there was any leeway on the hybrid part. Can't hurt to check.

Thanks. I asked. He said yes (secure) but who knows.

Agree with the above - you might be able to negotiate remote work.

Haha. As my post says I’d love to stay.

I would wait it out as long as you can and see how things go. If you're worried enough to leave preemptively, JP Morgan is certainly a good place to go. Negotiating around hybrid work could be hard, but it's not impossible.

Which is a better offer? What would be a good option for growth wrt role, salary etc.
Also, PWC claims to offer variable based on their fixed CTC based on the ratings.. is this true ? How much is the avg percentage given?

Thanks in advance!

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?

Im starting a new job but still employed somewhere else. I was trying to be open about staying at BOTH places. My current job won’t let me be part time because they don’t allow “set schedules”. Yet I am one of the only reliable and loyal employees in the department, and currently working a set schedule. So why will they not let me continue a set schedule but with different hours? This place is more focused on strict policies and not actually trying to work their employees and being flexible.
