Hello Guys,

SAP SD 4 YOE, INFY
CCTC -7.34
EY IN offered - 13.61(2lakh VP)

I have accepted EY IN Offer.
Now I am getting calls from EY GDS for interviews.

I am not sure if u should attend the interview or not at GDS.
When I shared this scenario with my EY IN HR, she said please don't attend it may create conflict and you may also get blacklisted.

EY GDS HR is like, you can attend the interview, there's no problem at all. We don't have such a policy. Please suggest what decision I should make.

I got feedback from my top choice that I need to increase GMAT. I’ve taken it 3 times in 5 years and the GRE once in that time period. Virtually the same score each time. Self study, took a class, took time off work, etc. Anyone have ideas on what I can say to show I’m still trying? I have strong quant grades from UVA ugrad, done HBX core, happy to take a quant class again but don’t know if there is anything else I can do. I thought the test score was only one piece of the app. Gpa/ 3:53

In your practice, do you take deed permitted exceptions from the title commitment or the owner’s proforma? I was taught they should come exclusively from the commitment, but I’ve recently been working with a new team that takes the opposite stance. I’m curious what other teams do.

I was offered $10K lower in my offer letter than the initial range given and when I asked why they said I don’t have as many YOE as the rest of the people at the company at the same level, has anyone experienced this and if so how did you counter? I need a good negotiation strategy because this is putting me back lower than what I thought I would be starting at when I would do the negotiating. Thanks

Getting wills drafted for my wife and me by a hired attorney. On the question for power of attorney for financial decisions, our choices are springing and immediate. My wife wants immediate but perhaps as an attorney, I found that to be an override that I didn’t feel comfortable with, so I want springing. Any reason it should be one over the other? We’re late 30s, 2 kids, married 3 years, and trust and love each other without a doubt.

Annoyed that I missed my group holiday party last night because the counsel i'm working for left an assignment until the last minute before delegating to me and the client was super pissed they hadn't gotten it. I've been practicing for 10 years and I still can't prevent this shit from happening. and I was up until 4 am while he sent me comments. he knows my baby gets up at 6. I like working at a firm but how can I escape working for these people? I was really excited for this party.

Has anyone had experience negotiating an origination fee arrangement from a biglaw firm? I’m a junior associate but have brought in ~$250k in annual revenues thus far and have received $0 in compensation for it. I recognize that amount is relatively low but I’m curious if there is an inflection point where it makes sense to ask or that I should have in mind.
