Hello Sharks, Need a suggestion. Had a verbal communication on profile and salary post selection (12th August) still havenât received the offer letter. Getting updates that they are waiting for global team approval which is stuck due market conditions i believe. My LwD is arriving should I take Whatever offer i have which is comparatively less or ask company to retain as MS are not certain with when they can roll the offer out. Microsoft
McKinsey & Company Has Mckinsey met BA headcount quota for the year/did they freeze hiring? I interviewed and got to last round last year, and applied again with a referral two months ago but havenât heard anything from recruiting. Last year I heard back within 1 month of referral drop. I wouldâve thought with my 1 more year of experience I should be able to get an interview easily.đ„Č McKinsey & Company

Hi need referral for few job postings at MS.
I have a field in excel that represents the GSID, that I want to concatenate to create a link. Example field GSID is 123-west and the link needs to be www.website/123_west.html for some reason using concatenate with left & right formulas to switch - to _ results in the field throwing an error. Anyone knows of a way to make this work?

Started at IBM right out of undergrad. Within a month I knew I needed to leave, but stuck it out because I had a signing bonus clawback clause if left before a year.
They canât compete with AWS or Microsoft on product quality, and canât compete with TCS or Cognizant on Price when it comes to any kind of technology work.
Any other kind of consulting work will be lost to Accenture or any of the Big 4 firms.
Youâll sit on the bench for 6+ months because there will literally be no project work in your entire practice, and then youâll be asked to leave for under performing.
Comp is terrible. You wonât get any annual raises, and your bonus might be like $200. So, basically nothing.
The culture is a bunch of comfortable middle management types who donât want to rock the boat and donât want to work very hard, so any and every initiative will be slow and inefficient. (One pursuit I was part of needed something insane like 50+ signatures to get approved).
EY 1000 times out of 10, without any doubt. Your 5 year potential is exponentially higher (IBM is in the midst of another round of consecutive revenue and profit declines, when I left they had gone like 23 straight quarters of declining growth). The culture will be much more agile and ambitious, the comp will be better, and the project work will be more challenging and interesting (and it will exist! Imagine that!). No comparison in my book. EY wins any metric against IBM.
Go jackets! đ
I graduated from Tech too! Go jackets! Recruited at both IBM and EY. I just wanted to say - the role at IBM I was looking at was marketed as âconsultingâ but was really more about sales. If you are interested in technology agnostic consulting, I think EY would be a better fit. If you are interested in becoming really well versed in one or many specific technologies, IBM would likely be better.
Recent tech grad who just started at EY. Staffs at EY do not get a performance bonus (youâll get a decent signing bonus) but from what Iâve gathered annual raise is at least 10% from Staff 1 to Staff 2 and probably around a similar amount once promoted to sr
Go jackets! I worked at ibm first job out of college and hated it. Donât do it
This is really surprising considering the work IBM is doing in Watson area, cloud transformation etc
I donât think youâll find many exit opportunities with being a Watson expert.
Stay away from IBM. Bonus and raises are non-existent these days, not to mention IBM has major layoffs (in the thousands) at least twice a year. Layoffs also include young people and people who have been with the company fir a few years or less.
i love ey
This is super late but my first raise was 12.5% and my second raise was 25%. I am two years out of undergrad
