If there is a sought after Director for a practice being built up at PwC. Has there ever been a time that a director can go straight to partner if they have an external offer that is quite compelling ?

Basically that offer would be 1st year partner salary and build off that ? Or PwC likes to stick to it's process and only other option is down the road consider direct Admit partner?

Can we talk designations a minute? I'm at the agency level now and would like to move to a company underwriter. If I'm going to add some designations to my portfolio, which would be the best? I don't think jumping right into CPCU is the right way to go. I can earn my CIC and then pursue a CRM or CPRM. I don't think I want to do the CISR since that won't do much for me if/when I move to underwriter. Is there something else I should consider? Do designations matter at the company level?

Do you spin up multiple instances of the same databases? Does AWS/Azure/Goog auto-scale, or is this all manual?

I came across multiple posts in which the pay is very much less compared to the industry standard ( on seeing their YOE)

But digging a bit deeper, we could see the lack of skill sets, not up to the market trend with latest technologies. Basically not updating ourselves with new stuffs happening around.

Your YOE nowadays doesn't matter much but skills matters. Keep upgrading your skills if you want to stick to the market trends and enjoy the boom.

Remember the story of NOKIA ?

Hey guys I'm currently working as a healtcare analyst...looking for Healthcare consultant/analyst roles. Please could you'll help me with something suitable?

I’m a nursing home administrator and things have become so challenging in the industry I’m thinking of making a career change but I’m totally lost as to what i should do! Any suggestions about career pivots from healthcare administration? I just don’t see a light at the end of the COVID tunnel and nursing shortage in our country. Nurses have become so difficult to work with, there’s no loyalty, they leave and don’t give proper notice, the minute a better offer comes along they are out.

has anyone taken an Excel functions test as part of a job interview? any tips or functions that I should brush up on?

I recently learned that my colleague makes $10k more than I do for the same role and we have the same experience. Completely understand it’s my fault for not doing a great job with negotiating my salary. I’m afraid I’m doomed in my current company & will always be on the lower end of the pay range. Has anyone ever been in a similar situation? If so, please share any negotiation tips! Thank you.

EY MD 🐠 , I’m a newly promoted MD and have a few questions on comp timelines I’m hoping you can help answer since there have been 0 comms to MDs on this 😔:
1. I’ve heard we don’t find out new salaries until mid-Aug with others below PP. Given others new comp doesn’t start until Oct, do you know if that’s when our new comp starts too even though our new titles are already effective?
2. Does the MD rating/comp timeline continue to follow the timeline for others going forward after the first yr?
