Finally found THE one, after over a year of searching and trying out at least 5 different ones!
A nice comfortable office chair.
https://ergochair.co/collections/chairs/products/ergonomics-mesh-chair-w-adjustable-headrest-and-armrest?variant=32511617597491
My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest
I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
AMA.
No promotion for me...time to quit!

I would stay for the promo unless you know you’ll be up for one quickly at D.

Up for promo is not the same as getting promoted. Tons of people are up for promo this year because of the last year - keep that in mind.
SC is sort of a demotion from M at KPMG, I’d stay for the title but to each their own
Senior to manager is a big leap in your career, regardless of which big4. I was in similar shoes at Kpmg several years back and got a competing offer from other big 4 that I declined due to pending promotion. I never regretted that decision my whole 15+ career at KPMG thus far..
this is a tough one, how sure of you that you're going to get the promo?
Consulting is not only about titles and compensation but also your network and ability to take a service to market (assuming you would eventually want to go for the coveted Partner role). I'd take long term strategy into consideration instead of just short term gains. Congratulations on the offer always good to have one or more!
I'm pretty confident. Like 70%. I was up last year too but just missed out due to covid limiting the # of promos
I'd stay then, but I'd leave if I didn't get the promo.

Stay. Deloitte’s hiring surge will continue for a long time and who knows you ll get a better opportunity elsewhere

Is the 20% after the bonus kpmg is giving June 1? I think Seniors get 4k.
Also, are you fully vested in 401k and pension? If not how much are you leaving behind?
Have you calculated all that to determine if it really a true 20%?

If you’re going to join D join now — we just started the new performance year so odds of getting promoted next cycle are higher.
Rising Star
It won’t be a full cycle. But 10 months minimum performance at next level (and fairly active networking) increases odds you’ll get it.
It will be hard though.. you’ll need to network and communicate this actively to your project and network.
If you have a good relationship with your PML, it might also be beneficial to talk to him/her about this competing offer and try to get leverage for a fat promotion bonus 😉
Thanks. How do I go about requesting a new PML?
