How many hours are you guys realistically billing per week on average? And how consistent are those hours? Trying to get a feel for whether my experience is the norm for the industry or not

Been silent on this topic for several months. Got screwed over on my MD case by Advisory. Unofficial, off the record sounding by Katie F. So much for PwC process.
Such is TOXIC environment. #Advisorytargeting& bullying at the top of the house.

Hi does anyone here work for BlackRock? I had a quick question about one of the groups over there and was looking for some insight.


TIA

Has anybody done the Uber take home test? What do they define as “support model”?

Career pivot into consulting? I've always been in a non client serving role and I just want that opportunity? Even completed an MBA and no luck. Too much experience in one area that am no longer interested on.

Are there any hackathons for UI UX designers? If yes, where can I get more details ?
Location- Bangalore

Tmrw is my joining date with optum when will I receive joining formalities and onboarding procedure

Partners with kids and a working spouse, how do you manage? Is it realistic for both people in the relationship to work full time long term? How do you keep marriage going and career progressing?

There’s this guy at work I really like. We’re really really good friends but I’ve caught feels since the day I met him and I just want to tell him how I feel but I don’t want to ruin our great friendship. He’s the closest friend I have.

Has anyone tested positive with COVID while pregnant? My spouse just tested positive and I’m staying someplace else to keep safe. But curious how worried I should be if I end up getting the virus?

A guy who is claiming to be in love with me (a black woman and immigrant), is a conservative (pro-trump, anti-gun laws, denies that there is racism etc). Are those red flags to make me cut him off?

Has the overturning of Roe v. Wade significantly impacted anyone's relationships? I lost two friends who were pro-life and on the verge of losing another. Wondering if I'm being too rigid in my perspective or if this is normal in Texas

Hi
Are there any couple pg/studio aprtment in pune wanna shift with my wife for some 3-4months.
Please help me with some suggestions..

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.

what are your average weekly hours?

I’m switching from pwc to Deloitte. Best and worst changes to overall benefits (insurance/coverage wise and just firm environment)?

Team. I have a valid visa stamp till Dec 2019 with EY. However I moved to PwC couple of months back. If I travel to India in December, do I need to go for stamping again or will my I797 suffice at the port of entry ??

Offered summer internships at AmEx and JP Morgan for compliance and I'm wondering if everything else is equal as it relates to the offer, which one is more prestigious?

Please who knows about the advisory practice within the PwC financial crime unit (Canada Acceleration Centre)? I understand it is a client non-facing advisory role. Would it be a good career decision for someone coming from GRC firms like Kroll, Control Risk or Exiger? I am concerned about the negative reviews relating to the PwC acceleration centres in general, and getting stuck in a role which does not provide growth opportunities. Thank you.

What are the cheapest study materials to study for the CFE? I didn’t want to pay out 1k+ for the prep course from ACFE.

I recently applied for an Insurance and Federal Claims Services (IFCS) position in EYs Forensics department. Does anyone know if this position works in other projects such as fraud investigations? Thanks!

Any companies hiring for Forensic Accounting (Investigations, Litigations, AML, etc.) I have both my CPA and CFE.

I am an Audit S1 that wants to work in a B4 Forensics practice. Would it be best for me to accept an offer in Forensics at a much smaller firm (local, 150ish total employees) to gain experience and then try to move to B4 Forensics? Or should I stay in Audit and wait for B4 Forensics positions to open up? Please let me know your thoughts!

Do any firms in the forensics world offer to pay for MBAs?

Does anyone know of any fraud-centric investigations roles that pay decently (140k or more)? I’m in investigations now and am doing alright, but feel like there has to be more out there in Consulting or places I just don’t know about aside from typical bank jobs.

Does anyone know the salary rage in dallas for a staff 1 in forensics? Specifically IFCS or I&C

Decided that I’m leaving audit today. Trying to understand the full range of opportunities in forensics. Will have my CPA and CFE. So far, I understand that there are client-serving firms like FTI and then the B4 will have forensics arms as well. What are some other forensic accounting roles? Pros and cons? Better than audit? Honestly just looking to learn anything.

I'm getting a MAcc to career change to forensic accounting. What opportunities are available to me with a data analytics heavy MAcc? I'm also tacking on 2 graduate certificates in Applied Statistics and International Economic Policy? For those in the field, would that be useful or not useful (i.e. waste of time)? I'm interested in investigations but also analytics, financial modeling, and expert witness services. Throw in salary potential for bonus points. I'll be getting my CPA, CFE, and CAMS.

Hello everyone! Please is there anyone who could kindly give a referral for the associate, compliance, risk and due diligence role (Canada) advertised by Kroll? I have been trying to reach the recruiter for ages! I would be really grateful. Thank you.

Any insight into EY’s IFCS practice? Thinking of applying to their open staff role from another firm, I’d be transferring out of audit.

Anyone have any opinions on EisnerAmper? I don’t currently know anyone that’s worked there in my network and I have an upcoming interview for FVLS… trying to get a feel for it

Anyone at EY in Forensic Data Analytics? If so - do you like the work you’re doing/leadership/etc?

EY forensics folks- if you were placed in I&C do you have chance to work on transaction forensic and claims&disputes?

Anyone taken the CFF? Looking for advice on the first exam

Can the group members please share their experience about the CFE exam? How many days of preparation does it require? What are some of the useful study resources?

Any openings in third party due diligence/ background screening? I am also pursuing CFE. Thanks!!
