Hi fishies. I have a ton of interviews coming up soon including a case interview at EY within their Innovation and Experience Design practice for Digital Strategy Manager. I am super comfortable with CX, design thinking, etc which are the types of projects I would be working on BUT I am absolutely terrible in case interviews. I was hoping it would be based on CX or design but my understanding is there is some revenue component idk. Anyone have any insight? I would greatly greatly appreciate it!

Deloitte India vs Deloitte USI.
Please answer if you have worked for both and have significant first hand experience about the difference in WLB, annual hikes, work culture, any other observations.
I see a lot in of this same discussion but very confusing and repetitive answers.
So would like people with personal experience to answer.
Thanks in advance 😃

Hi,

I have been reading mixed reviews about CBA. I have an offer and considering joining. I am a little scared. Can some one on the inside tell me how it is?

Kindly let me know it is.

Moving to another country soon, any tips on how to prioritize stuff when packing? Gonna take 2 check -in and 1 hand luggage

Wife got a positive pregnancy test today. 2nd baby on the way. I’m excited but also feeling pretty numb. Recent job changes, about to move house. Any advice?

I have the opportunity to buy a new build in ATX for 310k at 5.625% 30 year. Should I buy it? I can either:
1) rent it out
2) sell it

It's not my primary and I don't need it to live in. The news about a housing market crash is worrying me. Any advice?

Hi Fishes

What are the chances that PWC agrees to extend my joining date by a month because of my personal reason PwC PwC India. Risk and advisory consulting

Is putting your rainy day fund in something like VGLT a terrible idea? Trying to consider options outside of HYSA, with a bit more juice.

Is an IPO in anyone’s FIRE strategy? Maybe this is specific to the Bay Area, but it doesn’t seem that unrealistic to negotiate enough equity to make $1.5 mill off an IPO. Or maybe I’m dreaming 😂

It always seemed like real estate was one of the safest things to invest in. Then the crash of ‘09 happened, and the market bounced back for a while. And now we’re in… whatever this is. It just seems surreal.

I am looking for referral in Deloitte.

Anyone can refer me to senior international tax position at Deloitte? (Dallas, TX)

I have my exit interview tomorrow. Any tips? Have any of you written down what you wanted to say? I’m leaving advertising and moving so I’ll probably never see these people again.

Do you feel it’s appropriate for a non-Latinx/Hispanic Producer to ideate or create a Spanish US/Domestic ad for the Latinx audience?
(ie Spanish spot running on Univison for Walmart) **Not referring to LATAM ads**

Hey, how often do we get hikes in EXL? And average hike?

What insights can you give me about working at Grey Lion Capital? Good/bad?

Currently in ibanking as an associate and want to see if I can make the move to PE. Is the CAIA viewed favorably at all?

For ex consultants without finance backgrounds who transitions to PE or Growth do you have any recs on podcast books to read that helped you build your PE/Investing knowledge?

I’m on the consulting side (FDD) and I’m curious if there are PE firms with good WLB. I’m happy with my pay, growth, and hours. PE interests me but I don’t understand why anyone would want to consistently work 65+ hours a week every week. What’s the appeal? Making double the pay? What’s the exit plan?

Anyone heard of Ten Oaks Group?

Do referrals help much at places like Ares, Bain Cap, KKR, Apollo, etc?

King & Spalding Singapore - thoughts?

Does any one know what is the salary offered for AVP Middle Office role in Citi Belfast Northern Ireland?

No matter how sour or great your work tenure was, when you are close to your end date and handing over your badge etc on your last working day you feel extremely sad. EY is a great company (contd)

KPMG to acquire LEK? Thats so cool!

About to jump on night calls. Life of an analyst. 🙃

Wonder how many people have worked for all the Big 4 firms. Considering their size there has to be someone

Best consulting firms to work for that will allow 100% remote work indefinitely regardless of what clients do?

Uber driver is driving like "nah, you can miss your flight it's okay"

Uber driver at 5am - "Airport? Ugh I hate driving there." Uhh, it's Monday at 5am, no one except consultants are requesting rides...

Heard BCG laid off quite a few people this summer. Is this true?

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.

Advice or Book recommendations on how not to get bothered by others/ friends/ peers? What they think or what they do!
Been struggling lately

Discussion post: I feel almost all consulting firms are the same. Mbb, big 4 etc. if you are paid enough there is probably less wlb. If there is good wlb there is not much money. Can you single out a company that you can confidently say pays very well and also has good wlb and also has good opportunities etc.?

D experienced hires - how easy was it to get your first project and build your network? I'm an experienced hire here and it's been difficult as hell. I have an opportunity to lateral into D more $$

Just accepted a job at big 4, I have 1 YOE experience as a data scientist, plan is to stay for 2 years then go to MBB or masters…thoughts?

Can Bama just not win for once? Already annoyed that they’re in the CFP without a conference win.

Book recommendations on leadership, career development, etc?

About to fly out of MCO. Please keep me in your thoughts that I won't punch a tourist.

Waking up for a 6 am flight and realizing you managed to lose your earbuds between now and when you left the office 6 hours ago. Smh
