I applied to various jobs. Two jobs in particular interested me. One job (ID) gave me an offer and I accepted. A second job (in house) contacted me a week after I accepted and wants a second interview. Pay is $17k more at the in house position and less billable hours (~175 less) Should I go on the second interview? I would start the new position I accepted (ID) before the second interview. Any advice would help, thanks.

Hi Fishes,
Can you please give referral to me.YOE-3 Year,
TechStack: Java, Spring Boot , Struts, Sql.
Location Pune

Would anyone from ZS have some time for a chat? Saw a job posting that is perfectly aligned with my experience and would love to learn more about the firm, and perhaps get a referral. Thank you in advance!

Does anyone have a tool/ site that calculates what the offer would need to be to leave a current role, all things considered? Of course, it’s anything more than you’re making now, but I’m looking for something that accounts for LTE, the hassle, risk, etc.

Do you think anyone will be hiring at this time?

I am interviewing for an AVP business data analyst in London, 2 YOE.

What benefits does citi offer and what salary can I expect / negotiate?

Last round for a VP level front office transformation role @Citi . TC is looking like 160k base + 20% bonus (5 YOE ). Will be making this in a couple months when promoted to NYC strategy and consulting M1 @ Accenture. Is it worth the move ? Are there other perks I am not considering ?

Does anyone here work at Globaldata? What’s your role? How much do you make? And how was the interview process?

Can any one tell me how to prepare perfectly for ZS job ? BTA, DAA position.

Trying to transition from my full time job now to freelance. Anyone hiring? Good recruiters you know? 8yrs exp, background in tech/strategy/creative, worked in both small and large agencies.

What's the average salary I can ask for for the role of BA4 Risk Regulatory?
YOE: 3

Hi Fishes
I have an interview this week for Investment Strategy and Research - Senior Specialist.

Need suggestions for interview preparations.

What should I do to prepare for m first meeting with a legal recruiter?

Intl Tax folks, how long did it take before you were confident in your role? I've worked for the past 3 years in a practice that is heavily consulting based (inbound and outbound structuring) and I feel like I'm only just starting to understand the foundational concepts (where I can explain them clearly to clients) and offering a shred of value. Then I'll have calls where partners discuss complex tax, legal, treasury and other related concepts that all go over my head.. it becomes overwhelming

Hello Fishes, I have a Job offer from Cisco and Verizon(VDSI).

Cisco CTC - 16.2LPA , Fixed - 15.1LPA - Cisco TAC role.

Verizon data services llc - CTC 18LPA , Fixed - 16.1LPA

YOE - 6.5 Years
CCTC - 7.2 LPA
Tech - Networking and Security

Conflicted between both as I believe Cisco has a better brand value and great company to work for. But the offer from Verizon is competitive.

Is it a good idea to renegotiate with Cisco based on current offer from Verizon. Please share your thoughts.

Have you ever seen one of your highschool classmates featured in the WSJ? I've seen two in the last two months :/ - I'm 30

What should I put in e signature tab in Barclays onboarding portal for accepting the offer? I'm getting validation error - personal data e-signature has failed.

PARTNERS: two questions —1. If you see an associate has really low hours for the month, do you imagine them chillen on a beach somewhere or do you consider they probably spent most of their days sitting in front of the computer being “available”? 2. If you send an associate a random e-mail on a weekend like “Can you pull X and send to Y”, would you get annoyed if they responded saying they weren’t by a comp or would you consider it reasonable that they wouldn’t be by a comp on a weekend?

Preparing to give notice to my current firm. Accepted an amazing opportunity to lateral at a more prestigious firm (better compensation, lower billables, and shorter commute).
I’m excited to make this jump, but it’s still bittersweet for me because the partners at my current firm are truly amazing and I have learned a lot from them over the past few years and will miss them a lot. Any insight on the best way to have this convo without burning bridges? Thanks!

Need help: my dad did an interview for US citizenship in May and he passed but they said they will do some ‘investigation’ and will hear back within 120 days. Its been more than that and we haven’t heard back. We have an international travel coming soon and we are a bit worried about this situation whether the immigration will cause any issue regarding this while returning. Please suggest any advice

What are the most likely or common ways people are "coached out"? Is it generally a vague process or do they straight up tell you?

How much time will it take for background verification in PWC?

Why do unethical businesses often succeed? How can “ethical” leadership stand on a moral high ground while not being able to reward their employees to the degree that “unethical” businesses can?

Hi Fishes,
Anyone from Cognizant Pune? Need you help..
TIA

Hi

Has anyone from the cognizant registered BH for a car in Pune or Maharashtra? And are they allowing it? As per rules its allowed but I heard RTO is declining the request

I have a friend at IBM who let me know they will be hybrid, only in office as needed. Not sure when that new policy is starting though

Why does my left arm keep getting numb when I sleep on my back? Anyone experience this?

What’s the general guidance on the order to maximize retirement contributions for tax benefits for an normal individual and for a self employed/small business owner before moving to taxable accounts or alternate vehicles like cash value life policies?
I’ve seen for individual: match trad 401k->match roth 401k->max roth IRA->max trad IRA->max trad 401k->max roth 401k->max HSA
For self employed: max SEP IRA/solo 401k->max roth IRA->max trad IRA->max HSA

Of course situations differ but in general?

Hi all, I am new to cognizant with 3 yoe. Got selected in Verizon account. If anyone knows about this account can u pls comment how the work life balance will be? and the pressure in the project and working Timings

So should I buy Tesla or too late ?

I’m at a mid size transactional firm. I’m a total night owl and my partners have OK’d me starting the workday at around 11am because I regularly work until midnight or later. I get so much more done after dark! I still get some side eye from other associates, but 🤷🏽‍♀️

Does anyone else here have an unusual work schedule? Curious what adjustments you’ve made to make it work.

Wishing you all a happy holiday (if you have one). 1st year litigation associate here. Just wanted some ideas. How would your firm organize a virtual xmas/new year party?

I joined fishbowl a month ago and while I’ve seen a couple contentious debates but I must say I’m pleasantly surprised at how respectfully ppl comment on this app even when disagreeing. Usually anonymity on the internet brings out the absolute worst in ppl; they type things anonymously that they would NEVER say in person smh. But I really haven’t seen horrible comments here. I wonder what makes this app diff frm others?

Opinions on career clerkships? Especially with a two year old and wanting another child eventually.

Has anyone taken  ACAMS Certified Global Sanctions Specialist (CGSS)? Any comments/ reviews? How has it enhanced your employability? Why did you take the CGSS?

How many billable hours per week is considered at capacity? I’m getting pushback on boundaries I’m setting about additional matters and marketing work from my firm when I’ve been billing 60-75 hours per week for the last 6 weeks, and I’m still behind on my work. I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.

I do a mix of corporate governance and securities law. Is it wrong to pass on tax questions? I truly don’t understand tax law and feel incompetent to answer tax questions with any accuracy.

Does anyone have a rough idea of the salary scale at Buchalter for a third year associate?

Oil and gas attorneys what do you do?

Is there an appropriate way to turn down an assignment because it is non-billable? Two of the partners I work for keep asking me to write client bulletins and articles with them, which is great, but now I’m starting to worry about meeting my billable hours requirement.

I have a lot of mindless closing binder assembly today so I’ve been watching Restrepo and Korengal in the background. It.... really puts things in perspective. I feel like such a baby for complaining about long hours or stressing over emails.

I’m a first year. Getting a heavy case load - general liability, med mal, FELA, and products. I don’t really know how to organize my outlook email inbox. Any suggestions on where to start would be great. I’ve struggled with being organized in the past and obviously looking to improve in this respect. Thanks.

Any recommendations for legal recruiters in the New England region, specifically Maine?

How often do you respond to emails from law students who want to learn about your firm/practice area? I get like a dozen requests right around OCI every year. Frankly I’m tired of speaking to them and answering the same boring questions, especially if I know they have a low GPA and no chance of summering at my firm, but I do feel bad saying no/ignoring them

Anyone else having trouble focusing today? Every time I have a long break and come back to the office I’m reminded how much I don’t like my current job. ID Associate and I have such a hard time concentrating even after a week off. I find it mind-numbing and unfulfilling. I’m never excited to come to work anymore for the past few months now. Just found out from a legal recruiter that I’m also way underpaid here. Hopeful I’ll get a job in a diff area of law or find another calling altogether.

Tips on giving notice over the phone? I’m required to be in the office 5 days a week but the two partners I work for never come on Fridays or Monday mornings

What would you wear to an industry networking event on the beach? It advertises “this beach front celebration is shore casual” dress code and says “flip flops and shorts are in, ties and heels are out.” How would you strike a balance between over and under dressed?
