How do you guys deal with partners that constantly try to poke holes in your ideas, but jump through the wildest hoops to justify theirs…without constantly asking your CD to be the voice of reason 😂?

Been there a million times. I hate those guys. Best thing to do is say, “Hey remember that idea you had to x, y, and z….” then pitch your idea as if they already presented to you.

An AD once said to me, “sorry but sometimes ideas sound better coming from me.” (he pitched my idea back to me and had forgotten I had initially shared it and he killed it right away.”

Today I got an email from TCS to complete an ibegin registration. Whenever I login, it is asking me to enter PAN details and mail ID.

As if I remember, one of the consultancy, used my PAN to register in ibegin but I’m unable to login since it is registered by their mail ID and my PAN.

So I accepted an offer back in mid March but I didn’t negotiate it up and now I’m regretting it, because apparently you’re supposed to. I got a much higher salary than expected and a sign on bonus, and it’s been a while since I accepted the offer, and the start date is later this year…. Is it too late to ask for a bit more though? If not, how do I go about it?

I applied to a job at KPMG and did the first two rounds of interviews, general interview, then case study and competency. Never before have I had such a positive feedback at the end of an interview of the 2nd, both said really like me, I did well etc.
It's now been 3 weeks since the interview and I still haven't heard back from the team other than the odd HR email saying they are following up with them. Is there something going on internally, I.e hiring freeze in the London office atm?
