How is everyone staying sane as it gets closer to decisions? Already starting to lose my shit...

What does the Tax Reporting & Strategy Deals team at PwC do? Do they have busy seasons or all year round busy? What’s the pay like compared to other tax specialties such as general compliance or M&A? Thanks in advance.

Resigned from my job for blatant racism last week. Been a contingent worker for 6 months. The manager that recruited me unfortunately left after a couple weeks and went to another company. She however recommended me for the permanent opportunity to higher management. The acting manager came in, permanent role was posted, I applied, interviewed……manager told me they chose someone else external for the role. I could sense the manager had no intentions to hire me permanently

Definitely not a fan of Westin's "Eat Well" proposition. I'm working in the room at 2:00 AM and the most appetizing menu item is a cold turkey avocado and arugula wrap. I just want a burger and fries!

Does anyone here work for the custom or express underwriting department at Liberty Mutual? Wondering how you like it and the differences between the two as far as work life balance goes. Appreciate any insight.

I am a Chartered accountant and truth be told given the current times CA is a really low incentive education any potent person can get. Today I see engineers barely with a few years of experience earning lakhs per month. Whereas me despite being in the right place at the right time is working hard 10-11 hours each day even today. We as a forebearers of this profession must really rise together

What happened to Alteryx...

For those who have been driving the daily thread posts (senior tax accountant / KPMG / etc) please DM me if interested in becoming a community leader for this bowl. I’ll put you in touch with Sam from Fishbowl. Thanks!

I'm thinking about getting out of advertising/marketing. I'm betting there are professions out there that my skillset applies to that I just haven't thought of (i.e. event planning). Any suggestions?

What’s your game plan post-MBA?

Is there a non awkward way to ask to look at letters of recommendation after the fact? (I.e. after the recommendations have been submitted)

Thoughts on writing about trauma in a personal essay?

On January 5th, I submitted a Consortium application to Berkeley, Tuck, Darden, Ross, Mccombs, and Anderson.

Today I received my promotion from C to SC. I made SC at 3.5 years out of college at a boutique (Pariveda, Slalom, West Monroe)

I made C 1 year out of college, but not sure if Adcoms will "notice" that, or just see me as a 3 YOE C. I feel a 3.5 YOE SC is a meaningful difference, but Stacy Blackman (robo email) says to not update adcoms. Thoughts?

Consortium applicants: Can you apply to different schools in different rounds? Eg. Three schools in Round 1 Two schools in Round 2

Why do H/S dual admits tend to choose S??

Is round 4 application suicide? Planning to apply to LBS and Said.

I think it's common to choose Stanford over Wharton. However, Wharton has one of the largest alumni bases (99,000+ throughout the US) while Stanford is smaller (20,000, concentrated on the West Coast)

Anyone applying/applied with a lower GPA? Seems like everyone had above a 3.5 would love to hear the success of others
