I’m finishing up a Tech Assurance internship with KPMG and just got my offer. I also have an audit offer at a different big four firm for just 3k less than this TA offer. How do the growth/exit opportunities compare between TA and audit? Can you still make good money exiting big four TA, and when’s the best time to leave (same as audit, being one year of senior or manager?)? Leaning towards TA due to no busy season compared to audit, but worried about being pigeon-holed.

I have worked for 7 months in Threat Intelligence in a company in Canada, and I got a yearly hike of just 3% in my first appraisal cycle.

Hi fishes,

I think I am slipping into depression. My life seems to have no meaning and all I do is work. I don't get time for myself or my family, friends and loved ones. But I can't leave my job and take a break as I need the financial support.

I also feel I am earning way less than my peers which makes me feel like a loser. 4.5 years of work-ex and 16LPA.

What should I do? I need good wlb but also need money badly.

Hi Fishes,

I was offered RSUs for the first time as part of my compensation. I think I understand the concept as such but there are a few intricacies I was looking to clarify. Could anyone let me know if my grant date is 9th nov, 2022 and vesting period is 1 year, will I get RSUs allotted at the price of stock on grant date or vest date (in this case 9th nov, 2023)? Happy to connect in DMs as well

Thank you for your time!

I got

Is this going to affect my hike, bonus?. This is my first review at the firm. Please help.

CCTC - 17
UKG offer - 22 Fixed + 1.76 Performance bonus

For in-house counsel roles, does firm prestige matter? For example, would the fact that an applicant is from Sullivan & Cromwell vs, say, White & Case matter at all, or is it much more about experience/interview? Does it matter as much as law school credentials? Assuming a mid-level corporate associate seeking to go in-house.
