How is it in the Federal Advisory practice at KPMG? Specifically in Federal Financial Management? I am referring to work culture, pay and clients, any experience would be helpful.

I’ll give you the same(ish) response from the other day:

People are great, most people are smart, capable, and friendly. People act like they are doing 90 hour weeks, but I can’t even imagine how that’s possible outside of some crazy proposal work. You’ll be much closer to 40-60 on an average basis. I’ve hit 60 once in a couple of years. Pay is dependent on role SA is something like 70k-120/30k. Clients are fed so some are super conservative jerks and some are more chill - typical Fed breakdown. Ffm had people that enjoyed it and people that hated it - most that didn’t like it got CPAs and realized they hate accounting, lol

Would add that KPMG has/is moving away from being account driven to service focused. Their Fed group is growing pretty fast.

So I've been at my job for 5+ years as a data analyst/back office support team. I made my way up into making a little over $40k. I've been WFH the past 2 yrs and overtime more than half my team has now been pulled out to work for a diff department which resulted in me taking 90% of our daily tasks to handle. I'm at a point where the salary I'm getting is disrespectfully low for all the work I do. Should I ask for a raise? And if so, how do I go about asking without sounding greedy.

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.
