KPMG 🐠 how many vacation days/holidays do you get??

Trying to be really understanding about coworkers with no children feeling stressed during the holiday season, but it's hard not to ask if they'd prefer to go home to my sick kid, frustrated spouse and dirty house instead of their empty apartment where they have a flat screen TV and a beer waiting. How do you keep sane?

Starting a new job next month, and considering taking two days off for kids’ spring break next month. Not sure whether it’s appropriate to request time off for a new job (I would’ve preferred not to take any time off for first three months). I may just be able to just ask for a single Friday off (so 1 day rather than 2 days).

Any thoughts on whether I should proceed with the request? I just came from big law and want to make sure I’m not making a bad impression on my colleagues.

Any next week joiners?

If yes, please comment your DOJ as Monday(OCT 24th) is a public holiday.

Does anyone know what McKinsey offers in terms of tuition reimbursement to non consulting staff?

Does EY GDS gives year end break? Means Christmas holidays for a week?

Had an offer for 30% more , a promotion to manager, extra week of vacation to switch firms. I love where I am at with my clients and there is a lot of potential there. Should I stay the course?

In the last week of december, do we have something like a global shutdown like deloitte usi? or do we have to exhaust our leaves during that time?

Hey small agency friends with kids! Quick question. Our agency’s family health care is expensive (ranges from $1700/mon with normal deductible to $1100/mon with super high deductible). If anyone out there (at a small NYC agency) has a better plan and is comfortable sharing, would you mind telling me who your company uses? My kids’ college funds thank you!

Hello everyone! How do you manage holiday pay when the holiday is on a Saturday/ Sunday. For example, if I have someone working on Christmas (Sunday), they should be paid 1.5 but what if they work on Monday as well?I know this might sound silly to some people but I’m covering for payroll for the holidays and I don’t want to mess up!

Hi All,

Whether EY GDS has any corporate benefits. If yes, where can I access corporate benefits.

Has anyone successfully used an education benefit? What's the process?

Im interested buta little nervous about my firm because you have to pay up front and then get reimbursed.

So I had 3 deals scheduled to either close end of May or mid June which were all pushed to end of June/beginning of July. Which is when I have my first vacation planned for over a year (I take 0 time off). My whole family is flying up and we’re renting a cabin near me. What do I do? I’m running one of the deals, semi running the other one and not doing much leading on the other one. Note: I was supposed to not be running any of these. Do I find a back up first or tell the partners first?

Hi all,Getting somewhat bored at Google. Would love to move to a company where my work is making a positive impact to the world vs making Google more revenue.Any non FAANG companies who have interesting work and pay 150k+ total comp?

Someone on LinkedIn expressed disappointment about the lack of diversity from the big law firms in TX that were posting pics of their summer associates. A managing partner commented that he thought the post might be about a pic he posted (12/14 SAs were white). He tried to defend this by saying that they had LGBT and socioeconomic diversity. The fact that he recognized that his pic might be part of the problem says it all. Law firms need to do better. Sorry, I just wanted to rant.

Hi all! My brother has 8 YOE post his Masters with a US bank in their rates trading division as a software developer- managing, supporting and developing software for pricing trade executions, risk management and reporting requirements for the trading desk. He wants to pivot out of banking and maybe look for an opportunity with FAANG or with MBB/Tier2 consulting. Any inputs on how to go about this transition, what hiring managers look for and if consulting is an option? TIA

Can you share your experience working with a mentor? How did it help in your career? Just trying to understand and level set expectations. Askimg this as a mentee.

To those in non-MBB: Would you rather have an offer in hand right now for MBB or FAANG pm? Assume it’s a lateral transition.

What’s the best question you’ve asked or thing you have said in an interview?

Best consulting companies in the social sector?

Those who want to join FAANG: don’t you think that the upward mobility is limited? Thousands of super ambitious MBB background people with top credentials joined these firms over the last decade.

This is what I SHOULD have asked... Okay so I currently work for KPMG and the contract with PwC talent exchange is international. Is it a conflict of interest if I’m not doing the same type of work?

I got promoted and to the best promotion tier you can get. Instead of feeling excited and celebratory, I feel exhausted and dread of even more demands and stress that come with the paycheck and title.
