If buy the partners you work with regularly a holiday gift, how much do you spend? Usually I get baked goods or food items which you can’t tell the actual amount spent on. This year, though, I’d like to support local restaurants by encouraging people to order takeout—hence, giving gift cards.

For those that work at big4, does maternity leave benefit only kick in if you’ve worked for the firm for at least a year? Or does it apply immediately?

Will be leaving for a competitor (different consulting firm) soon and trying to figure out how to approach 2 weeks notice. I have several weeks of unused vacation still - will / can my firm force me to use my vacation time during my two week notice period? Will they give me any work, especially since I'm going to a competitor?

Hi everyone! I am working with my HR to improve our maternity/paternity leave policy. Currently I only get 2 weeks fully paid and then an additional 8-12 weeks at 60% pay (short term disability). I need some examples of companies with less than 100 employees and what your maternity/paternity policy is. Please include company name! Thanks!!!

I’m cracking under pressure. My whole team is overworked and understaffed with no relief coming. People are working while sick cuz we can’t afford to take time off. It’s always like this and I can’t take it anymore. Advice on how to survive until I can find something new?

Q1. How long does the VP round feedback take normally?
Q2. What are the next rounds/discussion to expect if I clear this round?
Q3. What is the level and salary that I should expect for a BI developer role at 6 years experience?

Anything else that I should keep in mind during the interview process that helps me land better role/salary? TIA.

I have a question, I got a contract role through a recruiter. Initially the recruiter offered the hourly pay rate which was the minimum in my range. Now I got an offer from the company. Now without me asking her she increased the hourly wage to the maximum range I asked. Which makes me doubt if the company increased it or she knew the rate all along but gave me the lower rate ?

Flight attendant woke me up while I was sleeping to give me ice cream, then I couldn’t go back to sleep.

Why this group is public? Shouldn't this be only for Accenture Canada folks?

It’s my birthday today and it makes me sad when this day comes around every year for some reason - maybe the realities of becoming an adult, it just feels like any other day.

Anyone make the switch out to IT type work? Just not enjoying the BS in accounting and want something more chill.

Seems like geothermal energy is quite literally an untapped resource and I wonder why we haven't invested more in researching its potential

How much was your bonus this year?

Today no one came into our restaurant and my boss started crying. Do I... comfort them? Leave them be?

Dear Nappily Ever After,
No one has an office, much less an assistant. Creative and account are different jobs with their own dress codes. But dumb, off brief ideas by white creatives do win.

Anyone gain weight from Paxil?

Hey Guys, Slightly an off topic question. I along with my wife and kid are planning to move to Bangalore and looking for rentals in Hebbal Kempapura. Would be great if anyone staying in this area could suggest some good apartments complexes.

What’s the overall feeling about presentation attire? Suit and tie?

When are we supposed to receive the official GSAP acceptance email?

Feel like there is always some debate and discrepancy about this. Can any gsaper returning to the firm this year or returned last year share a breakdown of their total comp offer (base + signing bonus + early signing). Interested in seeing both commercial and gps offers. Thank you!

think they’ll tell us today? double whammy with comp statements

Is anyone applying for gsap and wanting to talk to someone else about application? I feel like nobodys talking about it

For those not on the Symposium call: decisions late next week or early week of 7/11

How hard is it to get accepted now? I've heard the acceptance rate has gone down in the last years

Can anyone provide more detail into the GSAP retroactive app process?

Assuming your business case is solid enough, is it true that once you get to the presentation point, you’re basically good for GSAP? I’ve been hearing that GSAP is more competitive now

Does the current GSAP agreement say that if you intern at another consulting company it 100% certain that sponsorship is lost? Or does it say “may” impact sponsorship?

I’m reading a GSAP letter from 2018 and in this version it says “may impact”

When is intent to apply? Ready / anxious to start the process! 😬😃

Anyway to get GSAP approved before your eligibility? They changed the eligibility to 2 years of working prior GSAP to 3...

Just got a calendar invite. Looks like I’m getting a no...

If you’re a GSAPper who has left already for an externship, how do you get notified about your comp? An email?

Hi all! Has anyone done a pre-MBA externship after getting GSAP and was up for promo at the same time? Curious if I would need to wait until my promotion is effective before leaving early. I reached out internally as well to check but figured I would ask this group as well

If you only stay a year after returning what happens to the 10K relocation and 20K early signing? Are you required to pay back half or is it all yours?

What are the main factors folks are considering as they make a decision? Solely ranking, money, just curious! Got into two T20 that are very different but see myself at both.

According to the GSAP acceptance rates graph, Fuqua sits at 55%. Is it due to yield protection?

If I interned at a smaller consulting company over the summer and then still got a return offer should I check with anyone before signing? Or should I assume I’m good to go? I filled out everything truthfully on my internship survey and on my employment application

Did anyone here ever take one of the Deloitte Manhattan prep courses? Contemplating signing up for one. I’ve studied for two months now on and off but I think a course could help push me pass the 700+
