I’m moving to Southern California to be closer to family and thinking of also transitioning from full time to freelance.

I prefer remote, but do you think Orange County is close enough to the LA agency hubs that the occasional commutes for in office gigs would be ok?

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.

Currently a senior in BTS/private wealth. EY and KPMG reached out to me. Out of Deloitte, EY, and KPMG, which is best in salary, WLB, remote positions, overall?

Hi Fishes,

I am currently undergoing a recruitment exercise for the role of Senior Principal, Research with the Peers & Practitioners team at Gartner India Research & Advisory Services. My current work exp is 5 years across 2 big 4s and a KPO in India. How much hike should I quote if I clear the interviews here? Presently my CTC is around early INR1000Kp.a. Also are they giving options of a permanent WFH post covid? If not can I work from some other office such as HYD, BLR instead of NCR?
