Is Booz having a Holiday party this year?

How much PTO does everyone get? Please include yoe for context

When is it either allowed or seen as OK to start using FTO? I recently started here and while I’m not looking to slack off and take time off, I just want to know how it works. (Plus, I don’t want to not use something that I can or should use.) Elementary stuff, I know. But I’ve freelanced my whole career until now. Thanks

Is this a good deal or not. $93,600/year” “BENEFITS “ medical, dental, vision(30%60%90% after CYD) 80hrs vacation time after 1year of employment, it cannot be carried over year to year, nor will it be paid for it upon termination same for sick time which will be granted after 90 days of employment. Max 240 hours. Paid for the 6 holidays but if happen to work holidays will get paid 8 hrs for another day off during the same pay period. No 401k

Now that the holiday season has arrived, what's on the secret wish list for Black professionals in the accounting world?

Any recommendations on places to stay, visit in Dubai? Holiday family of 4 if that helps. Thank you!

📣📣📣 New event: picnic in the park over the Bank Holiday weekend — 5pm Saturday, June 4 @ Primrose Hill (Camden)! BYO suggestions: food, drinks, picnic blanket, and a friend (if you’d like). This will be super chill. Feel free to drop by whenever. We should be there for a few hours. I’ll post a location pic in this bowl day-of so people know where we’re at. You can also DM me for a link to join the group WhatsApp chat. — R

Morning! Being laid off sux, I been down this road 5x in my career it never bets easier.

Dust off contacts and make your rounds
* if you’re in a good position to take time off do some, seems we all need a mental break anyway

Question about PTO - my contract says 25 days but is this inclusive of any office shutdown over Christmas/New years (if there is one?). In Sydney office if that provides some context. Thanks!

Since I can’t really post anywhere else rn lol, I’d love some feed back on this offer I received. It my first one for a pr account coordinator in nyc: 45k, pto 17 days (but doesn’t start until next year) and thats pretty much it. I have 1 yoe + master’s and I plan to negotiate but working out how much

Fishbowl gentlemen, what are you wearing to your holiday party? 👔👗👙👘🎩

What length of vacation do you usually take? I’m a big fan of taking many 4 day weekends (instead of 1 or 2 longer vacays) but apparently those aren’t encouraged in the Big Law world?

Anyone familiar with Covid Supplemental Paid Sick Leave in CA? Does having planned time off nullify a full time employee’s ability to use the C19 sick leave if they become sick just prior to the planned time off? (I’ve only been able to find references to eligibility being based off of hours work preceding C19 sick leave - nothing about planned time off)

Hey Boschlers,
Is tomorrow holiday??

I have a question for established FAs with staff. How much vacation time do you give your longest tenured employee and how many years has the person worked with you?

Any of your agencies closed this week? We're "open" and were encouraged to use PTO if we we planned on being out. Now all the PMs are working because there's work to do and several of our clients are open, but there are no resources to do the work.

PwC people, does vacation negatively impact utilization the same way hitting G&A does?

Will base jump from 120 - 145 make a significant difference in my saving? Offer has significantly less PTO and a lower 401k match. 32F with 400k saved, interested in buying a home soon in HCOL.

If you were in a private company assistant controller position being offered $10k more to switch over to public and much better PTO days and fully remote as opposed to an in office position that I’m currently at in a Real estate growing company. Would u do the switch back to public (left public just recently)?

I wonder, why everyone is not applying for FAANG and they’re happy with startups or other companies? (Not talking about who are not able to clear the interviews )

Not law quite law related but I could use some input: anyone have any luck negotiating lease pricing with a corporate landlord? I originally signed and got covid pricing and now they want to hit me with a 17% increase bc of inflation 🙃

Female 🐠ers! What type of tights to y'all wear that are indestructible. Bought new ones and it already has a hole!

BCG🐠 how long is the cool off period for a fresh application if I didn't get to the interview stage?

Any experience with Frederique Constant? Seems like a good starter brand

Just having a second thoughts so writing it down

Persistent systems or KPMG?

Most woman with excellent WOE don’t negotiate their pay.. I’m a woman working in Tech and this is so sad to know..

What is the salary range for a Product Manager in the Atlanta area? I have 3 years of experience as a Product Specialist and have been offered a Product Manager role but don’t know how much to ask for. It’s in fintech. Any insight is appreciated!

I am sure it’s been asked 100 times but humor me please. Best office chair to add to the good I’m doing with a stand up desk? Lol.

Would love to stay in a reasonable range if possible (800 max)

I have more than 12 years of tax attorney experience at biglaw and big4. Are there any big4 positions that pay more than 200k? National Tax? Anything else?

I’m quitting my job tomorrow morning. I don’t have a new job lined up. I’m scared, but also excited? I’ve felt under utilized for months, and haven’t had a promotion after two years. I never take risks like this, but life is too short. Is this a bad choice?

How hard is it to get distinctive achievement for a second year analyst looking to move to consultant?

I feel like I’m overlooked a lot because I like to think that my work stands for itself — so I tend not to network as much. Does anyone have any tips on getting better about putting yourself out there? Any tips greatly appreciated (just a bit tired of losing to the extroverts in 2021 still)

How common are career changes / pivots? Can’t help but feel behind now that I’m considering a change and makes me feel alone. Not sure how to go about making the change (finance to marketing)

I'm a recent grad who accepted an entry-level full-time job offer with Capital One. I knew that MBB and other consulting firms rarely ever negotiate salary with new grads, so I didn't with Capital One as well. Was that a mistake? What were the likelihoods that they would have raised my salary? I had no other competing offers at the time

Is python something I can pick up and learn in a few days? Never programmed in my life

Best consulting firms to work for that will allow 100% remote work indefinitely regardless of what clients do?

Are alcoholic beverages free for those in delta comfort? Newbie to the status game. Help!

Rooney... can't believe I woke up at 7 am, hungover as hell, to watch that crap.

I've been on iPhone since the 4S; came from a Droid Incredible (garbage). Had every iPhone since (currently on 7 Plus); just got a separate Android phone for work (Note 8). Color me impressed. 👍👍👍

For all you major savers + investors, how would you suggest to get started investing in assets other than a 401K and ROTH IRA?

Anyone ever get an out of cycle raise without having to get an offer from another firm?

New project has many SSIS files that I will have to get my hands dirty with. I have always manually written ETL procedures. Any tips working with SSIS first time? Looks powerful but chunky to get into

I feel like I’m killing it - working long hours, producing good analysis and deliverables - but my review was “average.” This review is my second, and my first was fat better. I’m feeling demotivated-

Have a BCG interview coming up, but also current project is at an all time work high...any suggestions on how to juggle the two? obvs don’t want to just piss off my current responsibilities

Slalom folks - have a few questions. Any 🐠 open to a quick Q&A?

About rolling off my project with no new project opportunity yet. I’m already getting anxious and can’t have a full night rest with the worry of not finding a project soon and eventually getting laid off. Although I tend to stress-out easily but this type of anxiety is different. Are others feeling the same way? Also over 90% chargeability and great reviews, but seems like that may not matter with the recent layoff stories I’ve read....

Deloitte folks - trying to make senior manager this year at DD, got more than $5+ for the last couple of years and have excellent relationship with my client for the last 2 years. Contributed enough

Best way to learn user experience without joining a UX project? Any boot camps in the DC area?

@slalom
Whats the health insurance like? How much does Slalom pay towards the premium for individual/ do they pay for family?

Overheard: “We’re paid a ton to crush it at work, get wasted, wake up, work out, and crush work again, but while hungover. We’re basically like pro athletes”
#whichfirmsaidit? #harderthanharvard 🙄🙄

All this talk about quitting your day job, gaining freedom, start ups, etc. Does anyone actually know someone who quit consulting and was able to make it on their own?
