Willing to answer any questions. I’m usually on the road Monday to Thursday. Definitely National Staffing. Can’t speak to paternity leave but I hear it’s pretty good (I’m ultra single lol). Business class on international travel but I know people who have been on coast to coast projects and the partner allowed him/her to do business class. My furthest project in the past four years was about 3.5 hours away. They try to keep you close to home base.

Any other questions let me know!

I’m in strategy but barely travel as I choose to focus on M&A diligences. Lifestyle isn’t too bad for deal work although corporate strategy projects are even more chill. Overall I enjoy the work and the people. Have seen some very decent exits lately (FAANG/PE) so I’m hopeful my experience continues to be valued.

Also note that even if you stick to diligence you may be traveling to another KPMG office. I spend 4 months going to Chicago on multiple ODD/IVD projects and the lifestyle was brutal for me with routine 2am nights and weekend work in addition to the travel. I’ve since been on a few corporate projects which have been much better in terms of WLB.

Hi Fishes,

Can anyone please suggest which company is better. Although I have joined Incedo a week back and getting a package of 18.5 LPA, plus I am holding an offer from HCL Technologies holding a package of 15 LPA.

Has anyone left healthcare and is now really happy? I’m an MSN, RN with 12 years hospital experience. I’m burned out and tired of making crap pay.

It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!
