Hi Fishes,
I Will be Joining PWC AC B as SA2 on Sept 2,2022. Just want to know about Appraisal cycle. Is it Mid Year or Annual appraisal process. Also, will I be eligible for next appraisal cycle ? Tried asking the same Question to HR, but didn't get a proper response. She just mentioned as per company policy.

Hi #Urgent
Got the Offer Letter from Citi upon accepting I also received the Background Verification (BGV) mail.
which says I need to provide the relieving letter/experience letter. But the thing is I have not received it (it will take some time). I only have resignation acceptance letter.
Can we still proceed for bgv process and tell Citi that I will provide the relieving letter later on when i get it.
(already passed my LWD: 2nd nov)
Happy St Patties!

Different between firms
At EY, at least on audit and tax, Sr manager is before MD and Partner. Directors are primarily non client serving people, equivalent to MD.
At KPMG they are mostly equivalent but certain groups mostly use one and certain groups the other. Technically, I think the director title (in tax at least) has slightly more authority but payscale is the same.
At EY, directors are non client serving (so ppl in HR, for example). We also have managing directors - which is a non-partner path - many of the same responsibilities of a partner (depending on service line) but not all the same, so less risk and less comp (and non equity). Senior manager is the rank before PPMD.
It’s also important to distinguish that we have a very long Sr Manager runway compared to other B4. A Sr Manager 4+ at EY is equivalent to a Director at the other B4.
KPMG (tax) - senior managers are given a director job title if they are not on the MD/partner track.
Rising Star
At my firm, directors are those that will not be promoted to partner for whatever reason.
