I’m interviewing for an accounting role, and they’ve asked for a writing sample… As an auditor, any accounting memos I have written will have confidential client information, and these memos have gone through levels of review/edits, so aren’t necessarily my own work anyways. What do you suggest i provide?

I’ve submitted a memo from work that underwent reviews. As long as your the primary author, I don’t think it’s unethical to submit a work product that was reviewed by others. It’s akin to submitting a paper from college as a written sample that was reviewed by a professor. I just redacted the clients name throughout before submitting it.

ask if you can take out client info and provide it

Hello Fishes,
I am much stressed.. it’s only been 5 months to join Capgemini. I joined in as cyber security consultant with good package.
However, the work I do the tricks, logics and solutions I share with team to apply in the project… all are of no use when discussed with the architect guy. The whole team rely upon the wordings/solutions suggested by him only. It feels like my skill/knowledge and experience is of no use.
I feel like what am I doing here….? Any suggestions please.

A recruiter at another B4 gave me a number much lower than what I’m currently making. Should I tell them how much im making now, which is admittantly at the very top of the SC band, or counter with a range that’s more than I’m making? I hesitate to just throw out current salary + 20% bc I’d be asking for almost $190k for a SC role and I know that would be quite a huge ask for a SC @ B4, even for tech
