Yes all firm are on hiring freeze unless roles are absolutely necessary

Yes unless roles are absolutely necessary in some growing places of the practice. Security, cloud...

I’m gonna assume most places even outside big 4 are doing hiring freezes unless it’s a critical need area. People have to rebalance/stabilize their budgets before bringing new people on like they usually do.

You said I could take a look at EY’s income statement and see their net income and cash (on a IS-lol). You are now circling back and providing the revenue amounts, which are not hard to find, because EY readily discloses this every year. Those numbers are from June 30, 2019. Virus will have an impact on all service lines revenue, especially advisory, which then obviously has an impact on hiring decisions which is what this post is all about.

We are still hiring some roles in specialty businesses but that can change soon.

I just started looking for a job and made some profiles on various job boards. I'm getting a lot of emails from recruiters that look like this. Whenever I talk to them on the phone it's very hard to hear them and the whole thing just seems a bit fishy. They ask for my DOB, and one asked if I would sign something so they could market my profile. Is this a scam?
I've censored names, addresses, and phone numbers.

I was hired on with a company at the same time as my male coworker. We work the exact position, different projects.
I asked him flat out what his salary was when he hired on. His salary is at minimum 15% more. He’s never had a raise.
Neither one of us had any experience in this specific position but he didn’t even have experience in the field, which I did.
I requested a performance and salary review because it’s my annual review time anyway. Best way to address this? Also applying elsewhere.

Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?

Used to be EXP on American, haven't flown them in a while and now no status. want to use miles for a flight, but they're charging $75 processing bc it's within 21 days. Any way around this?
