I’m an S2 at RSM in FDD in a HCOL city and after year-end reviews I got a small salary bump from $85K to $90K. After hearing about the pay for external hires, I interviewed for and just received an offer at PwC as an S2 for $102K plus a $10K sign-on bonus. I asked for a bump to $105K and PwC agreed. Should I give RSM an opportunity to match (I don’t think they will)? And does that PwC comp seem fair?

I'm deciding between two offers: 1. FDD Associate at A&M (90k base + likely 30-40k annual bonus) 2. Analyst at a small boutique IB with decent deal flow (75k base + likely 50-70k annual bonus)

People who left recently (from EY or PWC), or going to leave soon, do you have mixed feelings on the mid-year raises?

Hi everyone, 

I will have my first chat with a Google Cloud recruiter for a TAM role in a couple of days. Any advice/tips you can give me? Also, a referral at this point would help in the process, or is not necessary once I already have this first interview scheduled?

Thanks!!

Is anyone here a client service associate ? I have just been offered a position as one. It didn’t seem like a call center in my interview but now that I’m speaking with people it does seem like one. Can anyone provide any insight? I need my series 7 and 63.

Have some big trips planned for next year so I would like to upgrade my Delta gold AMEX to Platinum (need that MQD waiver 💸). I heard that if I upgrade I won’t get the 50k sign-up bonus miles, so should I just close my gold card (not my oldest card) and open a new Platinum one?

Fishes, would you be willing to move to a new company for $20K increase in your base pay? No sign-on bonus and not a target company.

Hello LTItes, i joined LTI a month back.
I attended a client interview last week and was selected for the same. Now they are asking to join within a day or two. I'm having my mom's surgery this week. How to safely refuse to join this client project for at least 10 days. I can't take leave for 10 days.
Can anyone please help me with this? I'm confused and scared.

Thanks

Hi Fishes,

I got interviewed at infosys two days back.
When can I expect to hear back from them.
Also all the questions that were asked to me were written coding questions(Write block of code) none were verbal.I could write all answers but none was 100% correct.

At last I asked the interviewer about feedback as in where was I wrong. He said at couple of places and he explained me where was I wrong.

Do you all think I will be rejected?

LinkedIn is a biggest professional social network. But everything is not perfect. Curious to understand your pain points on this platform.

Any good recruiters in the Product / Program / Project management space in Dubai? Active on LinkedIn but aware many smaller companies don’t post there due to the costs. Adecco has been recommended and roles look the right fit.

Will Deloitte revoke my I140 if I resign within 6months of I140 approval ? Does anybody know Deloitte policy on this ?

How are you all coping with this? Lately I feel so down 😔 I’m starting a new project on Monday and am stressed, I feel like I can’t focus and won’t do a great job. I’ve tried hikes/walks outside, meditation, talking to friends... nothing seems to help right now.

Opinions on Utilization goals?

I have a theory - Whoever reported the pic thread was just jealous

My friend’s dad was a firefighter during 9/11 who died very young because of lung cancer. He was one of those who were denied coverage. She was just having a really hard time this week. Her boss knows this and told her last Friday with a straight face that she’s sulking. Some of these VC people man.

I’ve been at the same salary for years. Due for a bump. Been told by recruiters lately that “even NY and LA aren’t paying that!” I know we’re all hurtin’ but some places are healthy still right?

Offered a salary of 92K for a Business Analyst position at Facebook NYC in the Marketing Intelligence team. What’s the typical range? I have more than 2 years of work experience

What house plants are NOT toxic to cats? I swear every time I go to buy a new plant and look it up it says “toxic to pets”. I have a dumb cane which I know is toxic but didn’t realize when I bought it so now I just keep it in the laundry room away from my cat when I’m at work but that means no daytime sunlight. Would like suggestions on which plants I can buy that are safe to leave alone with my cat 😸

FDD people who are not interested in pursuing the partner route, what would be the best title to exit? Senior/Manager/Senior Manager?

Does AAS pay the same as FDD?

A few questions for people at BDO fdd - how does bdo get away with paying you guys below market? Is turnover insane there? Whenever I chat with someone from bdo it seems like their comp is always 10k+ below market.

What are possible exit opportunities from FDD if you leave before senior?

What is typically the policy for putting the deals you have worked on in your resume? I have seen conflicting notes on whether you can include or not (only the deals that are closed and public)

I’m in FDD… I know I signed up for this but there’s something about the anxiety that comes on a Friday knowing that we still didn’t get access to VDR .. and how that anxiety grows as you enter the long weekend knowing that access can happen at any minute (or not) and you have to tippy-toe on the idea of potentially cancelling on your memorial weekend plans. I know the unpredictability of our job but phew 😮‍💨

Interviewing soon with EY for a senior role (TD FSO). I originally applied for their core practice but the recruiter convinced me that since I’m coming from a financial services audit background, I’d be better suited for their FSO practice. Assuming I get the job, would exit opportunities be worse if I am in FSO instead of the core group? Thanks!

I'm an M1 in FDD (HCOL). What types of opportunities are there where i can get a better quality of life without taking a pay cut. I want to make $160k-$175k but feel like thats impossible.

I was approached by an external recruiter about Houlihan Lokey TAS at a senior level (SVP / Director). No specific comp ranges discussed yet, but I hear bonuses are massive. Not sure if anyone has insights at that level as most posts are for analyst / associates - thoughts?

Also hearing about a lot of turnover at senior levels - for people who work there, what's the story? Is it a leadership problem or just limited to offices?

I know this is a google search away and have done so but curious as to what a typical day is as an A1 and SA1 from an employee’s perspective? How tasking, hours, skill set, and general expectation

Any talks yet on the A&M bonuses?

Any managers in modeling / valuation ever directly switch into BB IB associate?

What is expected of an associate in FDD? Especially when there is no senior on the team. Would I be acting senior? How can I better help the team with my limited experience? I just transferred from Audit to FDD.

FDD senior currently trying to decide between strategy consulting consultant vs. IBD analyst offers, which would be the main considerations that I should think through?

Does anyone ever just wish you were in IB? I feel like we work just as hard, and I’m not I to accounting as much as I thought. I can put up with the hours and the pay is just ridiculously different.

Any thoughts around how to use M&A tax skills for the better good? I’m a CPA and originally got into this for a stable / interesting job, but in the long-term I’d like to do something that either influences drafting of tax legislation or helps the public (however naive that may sound). Perhaps I’ve gotten too introspective during the pandemic. Don’t really want to go back for a JD and aside from keeping a roof over my head I’m not very motivated by money. Anyone else have similar ideas?

How long were you a senior in FDD before things started to click? Really enjoying everything so far but feel like I am behind my peers. Been about 7 months now.
