Bowl Leader
Hello RSM coworkers! I am thrilled to be moving to RSM into a Scheduler roll. I just found out yesterday and want to be as prepared as possible in the next steps.
So here are my questions.
How long does the background study take? I'm guessing admin staff have a study that is faster and less complicated than someone in Tax ect.
When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.
Thanks in advance!

General policy at the MBB firms and other top firms like OW and Kearney is to live near your office. There are good reasons for this, one of the most important being in office networking and mentorship for new joiners. This is a relationship driven business.
There are case by case exceptions but get the offer first and then worry about that. Otherwise you risk coming across as difficult or not understanding what you’re getting into which could jeopardize getting an offer. It’s incredibly difficult to get an offer at an MBB firm, especially if you’re not coming through the traditional on campus hiring process, so why do something that hurts your chances. You could probably negotiate staying in Hampton Roads until the end of your kids school year or something with a specific end date if that’s the concern.
Outside of COVID times, the only people I know of who’ve lived a few hours away from the office 1) had been at the firm at least a couple years, 2) had a family or other reason that basically meant they’d quit if not allowed to live further away, 3) had leadership that supported the move and would continue to staff them on projects, and 4) traveled to the office on their own time and often own $ to stay connected. So yes it happens but only in certain circumstances and almost never for new hires.
If you are granted permission to live away from the office you’ll still be expected to be there at least a few times per month, plus as needed for case work and short term staffing assignments. Travel will be (mostly) on your own dime which will get expensive quickly. It also means more time away from home, on top of client related travel.
In addition, for travel to client site, living in Hampton Roads will be a logical challenge due to limited direct flights. This likely means often leaving Sunday night instead of Monday morning and getting back home late Thursday. And a lot more delays due to cancelled flights and missed connections. Again more time away from home.
Not sure what your Navy background is but if you’re looking at MBB firms make sure you understand the travel expectations (expect 4 d/w although many cases do less right now), work hours (expect 60+), high performance expectations, intensity and pace of work, nit picky feedback, and highly competitive and passive aggressive culture with a veneer of collegiality and collaboration.
V/r Navy vet
Well said, especially the last paragraph. I spent a few years at BCG… expectation then was that new members spend most Fridays in the office with their respective team / mentors / advisors... Fridays in office might be the harder aspect of travel vs the M,T,W,R at a much more remote client site.
I’m at Deloitte and we are still VERY remote. I run a team of 12 on a project based out of the pentagon, but the team is out of 6 different states with only 2 in DC, and there has been no requirement over the last 3 years to bring anyone in. I know a lot of federal contracts with similar stories, and being a vet getting in on some of that work would likely happen very naturally
That said, I joined after 7 years active Army and happy to talk further with you about things or provide a referral or anything
Location will matter less as your ability to constantly be in DC will (plus travel elsewhere if you work commercial), and If you are based out of that office, the main problem might be out of pocket travel expenses if you are considered local office wise.
This is not to say that is definitely the case for you, as I’ve seen exceptions made due to COVID, spouses jobs requiring them to stay elsewhere, etc., but i would be prepared for this not to be the case as a worst case scenario.
Thanks for the reply. And that’s great, a few people have told me it’s possible to be based a few hours away, but I’ve also heard it poses challenges in the hiring process for new people.
There is work/offices in the Hampton Roads area
We work fully remote and we are looking for Cyber Security Analysts, Engineers, Tech Editors and PAs. 25% travel. We have operations in that area.
Looking for people familiar with Navy and USMC. Also never hurts if someone has a background as a Mission Analyst
I work at KPMG in the Hamptons Roads and most of us work remote. If you need referrals or have questions about our firm love to help.
Grant Thornton is a big supporter of military hiring. I live in Norfolk with a home office in DC and rarely ever go there.
So is LMI. https://www.lmi.org
We have several projects for Navy ERP if interested
OP, if you are in Technology please feel free to DM me
Thanks for the offer. While I am somewhat of an expert at 1960s nuclear submarine technology, I don’t think that’s what you meant. I’m looking for more of a generalist role.
