I'm considering applying for an EL position with Charles Schwab while finishing degree and curious if someone can provide information regarding position specifics for Financial Services Rep and Retirement Serv Spec. While there are some similarities, one appears to be more call center oriented than the other, Also intersted in growing beyond the EL position and hoping someone can offer claification on roles as well as advice on which one might be more goal/growth oriented. Thanks in advance!

While I haven't been at schwab in more than half a decade, at the time retirement services was where careers went while people searched for outside work. The other was the ultra versatile role. Both very very very call center based.

I appreciate your insight, thank you!

You should have tagged Charles Schwab (using @) in your post so that people who work there would have better visibility of this. You’d get more relevant responses.

Suggestions needed. Got offer from other Big4s with same money offer. Got to talk to very great partners, and practices/work-life balance are very similar across all 3 firms. Currently more toward DT but only cuz I know more people there so I feel less nervous going there. When it comes to turning down offers, what other professional reasons can I provide?

Hi Guys,
I have been assigned to a Unbillable Project, they are building one app and have recruited people from the talent pool. The project is not registered in GLOW. And they are calling it as Voluntary Contribution type project for studio. Is this what they call Internal Project in

Will there be any impact if I don't perform as per their expectations?
Will it be of any benefit to me if work in voluntary project? Will HR recognize this project contribution as valid work?
