Deloitte question. I have always gotten a raise each year, the only question I ask is how much of a raise do I get. But I’m hearing from former Deloitte folks, it is naive to expect annual raises each year however small/big they are? And how does this play in Deloitte consulting vs advisory? Do one tend to withhold annual raises in base salary over the other, or is this just a deloitte culture thing? Looking at exit opportunities all over. So lmk! I’d Rather get a small raise than none at all.
Does anyone know if the same 401k rules apply at EY as Accenture so they will cap the contributions coming for your check say if you hit the yearly limits in August? So if you hit the 22,500 in 23 there is no way to go over for tax issues. Thinking to frontload next year contributions if market is down. EY
Anyone at Deloitte know how to view utilization?

I do (name,) when I’m annoyed with them 😣
I start with: My Ever Dearest ______,
Pro
Nobody will bat an eye on starting with “Hi OP”, but ive noticed that some people can take “Name,” the wrong way
Chief
I always start with hi or hey. Hey for more informal emails to close colleagues
Boss move…cut out the greeting. It’s so damn stupid. Just shoot. What do you need to tell me or ask me. Get to the point.
The first time i email them for the day I say Hi <name>….if I already emailed them or had a chat with them live/call then i just say <name>
Chief
Name is kinda curt
Just putting the name is curt. Consider: “Hi Robin, could you send me this document?” Vs “Robin, could you send me this document?”
I prefer to start with the name but if they initiate an email exchange using the "hi name" style then I match them. I find it to be informal and often passive aggressive.
Try, Yo!
I *hate* “hi”, I think on account of seeing it hundreds of times a day in 12 point Calibri.
I personally use “Good <day part in recipient’s location> Name,” and then optionally might skip it on subsequent replies if multiple e-mails are traded in a short amount of time (e-mail ping pong basically)
