There’s some good people in that practice, but I can definitely name a handful of toxic individuals and Partners who make it the worst. FWIW, I never worked in this practice nor at PwC, but my competing firm worked very closely with them on a multi-year project with same client. I saw and heard everything on that side. It’s the reason why I’ll never want to work at PwC bc Of my experience and bc I’ll likely get aligned to this part of the business.

Toxic in what way

Former coworker who went there and exited fairly quickly, told me it was completely toxic.

I tend to believe them but I have no firsthand experience.

I like the people in that practice

It’s considered very solid in the PLS Ops arena

Hi all, was hoping for clarity on offers from FANG/Tier 2 tech I received recently. Base pay is still within range of 130-150K, but equity components have dropped dramatically. For reference, for similar positions, I was receiving grants of 150K - 200K over 4 years for data analyst positions (4-5 YOE) in Aug’21-Feb’22. For personal reasons, I did not accept these offers. Now the equity grants are coming in like 50-70K over 4 years. Is this market wide for non SWE/PM roles due to stock market?

Hi everyone! Idk if I need advice or I’m venting but I’ve been looking for jobs actively right now and want to make a switch soon. There’s a gap in terms or compensation for the jobs I’m being approached for. These jobs offer the same compensation I’m at or slightly higher (5-7%). This is demotivating and I honestly don’t know what to do. I don’t make an awful lot (105K in NYC) and I’m looking for a 20-30% bump in terms of compensation. Am I crazy here?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
