How much information about the kinds of work you’re doing do you include on your LinkedIn?

Hey everyone!
I’ve recently accepted a new position recruiting Pharmacists from all over the globe to come to Canada and work for our business units.
I’m looking to speak to literally anyone and everyone who is willing to chat and share information.
Your pain points, complaints, day to day life, experience with exams, certification etc.
Especially anyone who has immigrated to Canada to become a Pharmacy Tech, Pharmacy Assistant, Pharmacist etc.

Any idea how many people have come across the border into the US since Biden was elected? It's hard to find actual statistics, everything I find is just political rhetoric 😕

Moving to London in September - looking for a place to live! Any recommendations on neighborhoods?

Who's Gina? everyone seems to people talking about in the confession bowl.

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.

Looking for suggestions on stocks to invest for beginners? Any suggestions on YouTube channels or articles/people to follow to read and stay updated on these things?

Any directors jump to make P? How did it go? Tips to share?

Hi Team,
I am joining Deloitte soon, before putting down my notice with my current employer the background investigation team informed me that except the current employer all elements are completed and finalized. Is it ok to put down the notice now or will there be any additional investigation that needs to be completed.

Any roles within Big 4 that would hire with no degree? Could be anything - doesn’t have to be consulting. Asking for a friend! TIA!

My SO just started with PWC Australia. I might have to relocate to the states in one year. Will it be possible for my SO to relocate to states as well through PWC at around 1 year mark? Does PWC allows that just after/within one year of joining? Assume she'll get L2 through me, if that matters.

It’s now been about a month since I cold applied to all big 4 firms for upcoming winter internships. I’ve tried reaching out to some of the recruiters in the area I applied for but no response. Is this white flag territory or is there still hope? And if it’s the ladder is there anything I can do to speed up the process or is it just a waiting game.

Anyone here in SG who could tell me what the salary brackets are for SA at PwC Deals? My partner has been telling me they can't give me an annual salary increment because it was already at the upper end of the salary bracket when I was hired (for visa purposes) and honestly with the current inflation I need that raise

I’m honestly dreading going in today to hear *nothing* about the Buffalo shooting, the terrorism and white supremacy that keeps getting people murdered. We’re just supposed to keep responding to emails and join calls.

I joined KPMG a while ago from federal consulting. Federal consulting had super good work life balance but I’ve been working at KPMG strategy for a while now. The hours are wild, my managers expect perfection, and I feel like it’s all meaningless. Does anyone else feel like this, how have you dealt with it, and is it like this once you go into industry?

I have some experience in cost mgmt/optimization field and want to join big 4 for better exposure. Are these teams currently actively hiring?

I was promoted to manager in July 2020 (3,5 yr of experience). Currently preparing for YE but honestly, I couldn’t care less - what motivates one to push for SM promotion? Not my case atm, but wanted to hear what motivates ppl to keep going as I don’t feel like it’s worth it.

Thoughts on exiting to a second tier accounting firm to advance level (D—>MD) and more pay? P’s get paid less but also sounds like less pressure/stress and more opps to be a leader sooner
