Jummah Mubarak Fam ☪️💚

I applied to a job at KPMG and did the first two rounds of interviews, general interview, then case study and competency. Never before have I had such a positive feedback at the end of an interview of the 2nd, both said really like me, I did well etc.
It's now been 3 weeks since the interview and I still haven't heard back from the team other than the odd HR email saying they are following up with them. Is there something going on internally, I.e hiring freeze in the London office atm?

Does ZS London office has Data Science work, roles like DSA, DSAC etc. ?

I have noticed most DS work/vacancy are in USA or İndia.

I’m brand manager and strategist with 5 years of agency experience working on a broad range of clients (no single vertical of specialization). What type of brand side role makes sense for someone like me? Where do you think my skills translate best? (brand development and campaign strategy, account management, relationship management). Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Is it common expectation now that everyone barebacks and is on prep? 30M who is now single and everyone I talk to disappears once I tell them that I don't bottom raw in hookups. Not trying to end up single forever but wondering if I'm being unrealistic with standards. Generally prefer to keep things safe until we have some consistency / exclusivity but i guess I'm off?

Looking to get sober again and only attended aa via zoom meetings.

Anyone want to share their personal experiences when comparing in-person vs virtual?

I’ve been considering to stop pursuing the CPA certification and instead wanted to focus around more IT driven certifications like CISSP. I already have my CISA. I’m just not as committed to the accounting world as I used to be making it hard to study and put my full effort into the CPA. Has anyone ever felt the same that it was best to change paths if your not truly committed to the long road of the CPA?

Is it a red flag for a dr to ask for a specific medication? I’m seeing a new psychiatrist tomorrow and have a diagnosis already but want to try a different medication. I’ve done extensive online research and there’s one that I know is a bit pricey but I’d like to try. I obviously need her input to ensure it would be safe for me to take.

Does anyone have recommendations on an approach to get frequent feedback on employee sentiment across your teams?

I lead a global team of ~70 and growing. Most of the team is deployed to major company initiatives and pressure is high. We do big annual employee surveys, but I'm looking for good ways to get more regular feedback at scale.

For sterling background check, did you list high school jobs? It says to include all employment over past 7 years, including part time but seems like that would be excessive

Any recommendations on good digital shops in New York?

EY and PWC under scanner in UK yet again for auditing issues. Pressure on them to break up. Audit cannot go hand in hand with consulting. Tough times ahead for Big 4. They had too much rope which is now getting cut

How do you stay grounded in Islamic values when you have to work 12 hours a day 5 days a week? For context, resisting the drinking is not the challenge I'm talking about. It's just that joining straight out of uni, the endless deliverables don't seem to leave any peace of mind for reflection or mindful prayer. Do people respect you more if they see you are sticking to your values?

Salam everyone, I’m looking to move to NYC. Let me know if anyone is looking for a roommate

Salam --- does anyone work at Novartis who can answer my question?

I’m a hijabi and I’m so tired of Molvis pretending that women’s clothing is the biggest plague faced by Muslim community, it’s made out to be this source of all evils. Not that corruption, poverty..

Salam everyone, wanted to ask if anyone here is in a relationship with someone close to their age and how they’re navigating it for ex a guy being 22 and the girl being 24. I’ve been advised to find someone 3-4 yrs younger than me because that would make things smoother and there would be less fighting. What are your thoughts? Also I’m Arab and will most likely be marrying an Arab girl if that changes anything.

Any Financial Services consultants here? Interested in connecting and expanding your network?

The higher i move up the career ladder the more I see "muslims" in leadership position openly drinking alcohol. I don't judge but I'm just curious do they feel the need that to climb the leadership ladder in these big corp roles?

Today I learnt abt Quranism. And I'm genuinely frightened by it. May God guide us all and forgive our shortcomings.

AOA everyone! I am a Pakistani currently living in Germany. I am in the final stages of getting a transfer to Canada but can’t decide between Toronto or Vancouver.
