Hi PwC IFS peeps! I have a friend who is applying to an IFS role. What are chances on successfully negotiating a sign on bonus?

Not trying to be a dick, but I wouldn't be advising my friends to look for work in IFS at the moment. PwC's current push to make everyone billable reminds me of that scene in 300 when they are pushing those enemy soldiers off the cliffs...

Depends on the role. If it is a higher level revenue generating BD type role maybe. If they are working IT help desk then no

It's not revenue generating but it's for a senior manager level role.

Probably not.

0%

😂 thanks for the honesty y'all. I did discourage my friend but he's very unhappy and bored at his current job and the salary is 20% higher. Are there a lot of layoffs in IFS?

I know that my practice has picked up several IFS people recently because they were told to become billable or else....

I guess it depends on the function, but Pwc is "slimming down" pretty heavily.

Part of our new model is slimming down all of IFS--Fit for Growth campaign is how they spun it

Fellow Fishbowlers,
Need to discuss an offer I got from MasterCard for Director of Product, based in Pune, India. Below are my details:
I am a multiple time founder, ran my company for 4 years, a self funded startup, so no concept of salary. My last CTC with a US based firm as a consultant was USD 96000 until Jan 2021 (I was residing in India).
I have an offer in hand from a startup for 90 LPA + 1Cr worth of ESOPs.
What number should I start with and what should I really expect? Thanks much.

Hi everyone, I am getting ready for a job interview, and need to create a media plan. I was hoping someone can help me with the next task: basically, I need to create inventory recommendation based on past performance. What I am very confused about is that they gave me Booked Impressions (=4M), but in the task it says I should assume there is unlimited inventory. Am I supposed to use this 4M only to calculate spend, ROAS, etc., but can actually have unlimited allocated impressions? Thank you!

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
