How much Js7 maximum budget should be??
I have some doubt regarding pf contribution... Say for example.. 12% of my base salary is 600 which gets deducted from my salary.. on the flip side.. the company has to contribute 600 to my pf (which is actually deducted from my salary only like already part of CTC)?. So my question again is that.. the company contributes 600 as well? PwC

McKinsey & Company How likely is McKinsey to rescind an offer if there's a recession/downturn before my start date? Received an Associate offer with a start date early in the Fall. But I'm worried about the offer being rescinded due to the ongoing McK scandals/issues and a potential recession in the making (which may prompt them to freeze hiring and/or renege offers).
Has this happened to anyone before at McKinsey, offer getting rescinded due to economic/company downturn? A bit worried

I like this. It shows you care and don’t at the same time!
lol I personally dislike getting a "how are you?" everytime a USI colleague pings me for something
Thanks for the insight!
If it’s someone I’m not friends with I always just say “hope you had a good weekend” and then immediately say whatever it is I need to say in the same message. Always appreciate when people take the same approach with me. We don’t need to waste time pinging “hi”, “doing well”, “it was good thanks” back and forth to each other
Yup me too. If I just ask how are you and stop there it feels a little bit fake
Some of us are just social and want to know!
You can't even tolerate that? Geez...
One of my partners always says "Hi Sam" then won't type their question until I respond. That to me is far more annoying than a little small talk as it ensures I'll be staring at the chat window anxiously while they slowly type out their question. I get it for potentially sensitive messages when we are in the office but they never are and no one is looking over my shoulder.
I’ve noticed this with my international colleagues. I think that’s what they’re taught.
But it’s nbd, my friend. Nothing to get worked up about
I hate this. I have no problem when people are genuinely asking about me weekend and want to know, but I can always tell when it’s just a lead off to something else. Especially when I’m busy, get to the point
It amazes me that people still ask about the weather
I agree. Of course I try to understand that everyone comes from different cultures and backgrounds etc but it can get irritating when someone will put "Hi" or "Hi, how are you" and just waits until I reply to ask the question or raise the matter. Especially when busy or in back to back meetings, just say what needs to be said
I’m a seasoned EA. My recommendation is to cut out the small talk in your emails. Keep it simple and get to the point. Your recipient will be grateful that the message wasn’t full of fluff.
Depends on the situation. If I don’t really know them, I’ll add something to the front of my ask for it to be more personal and less demanding.
It’s annoying when you have multiple calls on Monday and every one starts out with a round robin of people’s weekends. And it’s just annoying because it’s so fake. If it was a real connection I would likely enjoy it. But it’s usually just the Partners and they never extend it down to the lowest ranks which sucks.
Or every single morning 30 of them on Teams start sending good morning messages. What a forensic people, and I know very well they don't mean good morning to anyone. I completely understand your pain.
I feel like that too, OP. It also makes me feel I might be burnt out & need a vacation.
