Looking at a Manager role with KPMG in nyc within a growing team/practice. Anyone have thoughts on:

Unlimited PTO: how much can you actually use?
In-Office mandate: how much are they tracking?
Growth: how quickly can you actually grow?
Hours: is everyone working 60+?
Layoffs: have these affected certain roles/levels?
Offer: are sign-ons negotiable? Anything else?

What else should I know?

For advisory, it is an informal metric right now but we must be in office or at client site at 40% starting next year, so I will be leaving as I’ve been remote for over 10 years . I’d assume it will be tracked by badge wipes or the honor code. We do not have accurate reporting as of now, so who knows.

Hi all, I just got a job offer at PwC for a senior consultant position. The salary is 30% above my total comp right now, but I’m just worried about the amount of work I will have to put in compared to my amazing work life balance now. Does anyone have any experience moving from industry to consulting? I need some advice on what to do. I’m still early in my career (1.4yoe) so I feel like I shouldn’t care too much about wlb, but at the same time, I don’t want my mental health to suffer either.
