I've recently been contacted by QuantumBlack Switzerland for a Data Engineer role. Does anybody have any feedback about the culture of the company?
From the outside it seems pretty cool, but I would like to read some thoughts.
Also, any suggestion on how to prepare for the interview?
Thanks in advance
Hello there I’m looking for feedback, I’m going to be graduating with a Cyber Security Degree this May, and I’m currently working as a desktop support Tech and would like to know what are my odds on getting an cyber security job/interview now with a big tech company without a having the actual degree. I could send my resume or linked in if needed for review. I have professional experience but just recently made the jump to IT but have 5+years of management experience and 7+ sales Google" class="linkified" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >experience.Google Amazon Microsoft Salesforce

Hi Fishes, I have offers from PwC(risk advisory) and IBM(app development). Thing is that the PwC joining is at Kolkata location but I don't want to go there and stay. There is not much difference between the offers in terms of package(10 & 10.4). Can I ask PwC to provide WFH or change my office location for this? Deloitte EY PwC KPMG

What do they specialize in? It’s hard to imagine a local 15 person firm specializing in anything unless they are a highly experienced boutique
Pros:
1. You get to know everyone pretty well, so IF you like the team, the work environment could be more fun, and there’s potential for building stronger, more meaningful relationships.
2. More opportunities to see the big picture & potentially learn more than you would at a bigger firm. It’s more hands on.
3. Easier to stand out. At a bigger firm, you could get lost in the crowd if you aren’t proactive.
Cons:
1. If you don’t like the team/certain people, you kind of can’t avoid working with them.
2. Hours could be worse. If someone drops the ball, it might fall on you because there aren’t that many people to help out. At a bigger firm, it’s easier to just do your work and get by without putting in crazy hours since everyone does their own thing. This of course doesn’t mean bigger firm=less hours.
3. Everyone knows everyone else’s business and there could be more gossip. If you make a mistake, the word could get around quickly.
4. Less opportunities in terms of training and less networking opportunities
5. Smaller clients & fewer types of clients.
Depends. I work at the small firm (7 ppl). The pay could be much better, but as a trade off I only work 35 hrs during non busy season and 48 hrs during the busy season. We have 12 holidays, 7 sick days and 7 vacation days. There are no time sheets and you get to know clients pretty well. I also feel like I contribute to the growth of small business and there is a lot of value in what I do.

I don’t work at EY anymore but I’d rather have unlimited than only 7 days tbh. Not like you can accrue any if you only have 7 lol
Just be sure that they either have large clients or really know the specialty.
