Is anyone else starting to get nervous about the supposed return to normal pay at Deloitte? I can't see it happening. I think there will be more excuses and more cuts.

I'll have to leave. I can't afford or justify trying to raise a family on an APS4 wage with over 10 years in the professional workforce working 55 hour weeks.

Undergoing career pivot discussions, including whether it makes sense to go up for a promotion from SC to M this year as planned or stay at SC for another year to continue getting exposure in the space I intend to officially move towards. Complicating factor is that I am rolling off of my current project in the next month or so, and I'm 13 weeks pregnant. Any advice for me on how to navigate (i.e., when to tell people I'm expecting, what you would push for in terms of career progression, etc.?)

Is there any internal exam that I need to give in Accenture for promotion/hike?

Level 8 speaking

Seeking some guidance about salaries/titles. I was hired as an Associate Art Director last year at 95k but it was more of a senior GD role. In January I was given two direct reports and all the responsibilities that come with people & project management. I asked for a new title & raise. Was given title of ACD and a raise to 99,500. I don’t really feel this new title reflects what I do, but can I ask for a bigger raise? I’m remote and in a VHCOL city and think I’m underpaid for either role.

Has any companies given their employees good raises to help with the rising costs of everything? I was a top performer and only got around 3% this last year.

Hi All,
Promotion letters are out for C2 and C3A

Hi all. Any insight into salary range for EY FSO Tech Consulting Manager in HCOL city? Debating taking another offer or waiting until promotion.

Women in this field: have you ever asked for a raise and if so, please offer tips and advice. I started my position with my firm 2 1/2 years ago with zero experience and so I was started with an entry level salary. I have received two 2% raises, one annually per year that I’ve been here. I feel I have earned a salary raise being that I’m no longer entry level and am more of a paralegal than a legal assistant as opposed to when I first started.

Since it's looking like there may be no female partners here to answer the question above, can some of the other partners weigh in? So you have kids and if so, how did you managing getting to partner and without missing out on your kids / handing them off to someone else to raise? Do you have a stay-at-home spouse?

Does CTS matches or raise the offer made by other organizations 2 days before joining date, I have got an offer over x+5 from another organization, but still interested in cts.
How do I proceed from here?

A new person just joined my team and is 2 titles above me in seniority. My manager wants me to be one to train and onboard this person. I was just denied a promotion even though I’ve been doing 2 jobs for almost 6 months while we backfilled someone who quit (my job + senior title job). Is it fair for me to say someone else needs to take on this burden because obvs I don’t know how to to operate at new person’s grade level because if I did, I would have been promoted to at least one level down.

How do I ask for a raise in a confident way? I hate asking about money, but I feel I’ve been going well above and beyond my duties for a long time now, and I’d like to get compensated for it. I have never been good at these types of conversations. Any tips?

Did Gajen say at the Town Hall that half of the employees received a raise? I’m part of the half that didn’t. Anybody else?

Is San Antonio a good place to raise a family? Why or why not? We're thinking of making the move to be near family and have heard mixed reviews although generally positive.

I have 1.5 years working for small company and I’m looking to gain experience elsewhere. I am on my third round for interviewing for a position in another state and getting cold feet. I would be making 50k in the new position with a raise after 4 months.

With my lack of experience time wise, I don’t feel I can ask for a higher salary.

Should I wait it out for a position in my area or would it be smart to make the move?

Hey Fishes ,

Anybody here in Tech consulting and have internal news as in what % of hike is being expected. I am SC having 11 YoE and at 21 LPA . How much raise should I expect in mid year hike ? I know it's not even 60% of what people are getting while switching.

My current job where I'm a Business int. Analyst at a startup, my total salary is $62k (started at 57k & got a 5k bonus after 1st year). In 4-5 months I'm going to get a promotion once I complete 2 yrs, assuming it'll bring the total salary to be around $70-75K
Recently got an offer from a FANG comp. The offer is $66K base, 17K sign-on bonus in 1st year & 12k in 2nd year & RSUs valued at $40k vesting: 4 years
I think the new offer is quite low, expecting base to be at-least $80k.

Whats the market raise looking like this year? I work at a financial firm in a medium city and inflation is kicking my ass. I’m wondering if I should wait for a raise or start searching for a new role with higher pay. I love my job but the bills are so high rn.

Hi guys,

What's the differences between working at ServiceNow Global Elite partners like Deloitte, DXC, IBM, KPMG versus Elite partners like GlideFast, Infosys, Cognizant, Thirdera, Crossfuze, Highmetric, etc.? Do you feel being treated like a person at smaller companies (Elite partners) rather than just a number at bigger companies (Global Elite)? Do smaller fishes (Elite) lose more big contracts to big fishes (Global Elite)? I'm considering a change and don't know which companies to choose.

Any moms here go part time for a few years when you had babies/toddlers at home? If so, better to go hourly? Also did it affect your career in the long run?

I’m currently interviewing with a company that has very mixed reviews on Glassdoor. Lots of people complain about the workload and low salaries. However, I’ve been through 3 rounds of interviews (Recruiter, Marketing Director & Senior BM) and they all seemed great! When I asked about the WLB they all said they personally have great WLB. I’m having a hard time deciding which one I should trust. Glassdoor or personal interactions? Do you have similar experience?
