My life during Corona vs my spouse who left for industry

Advice on changing roles within PwC? Interested in trying something new that I know audit is clearly not for me, but don’t want to damage relationships or my reputation.

Hi Fishes ,

I am an FE with 7.1 yrs of exp looking for a change. So far I've seen the packages are boxed at 30lpa at my exp and Angular framework, I Have some exposure to AWS devOps as well. Can anyone guide if there is something missing in my profile or if I am not getting the right opportunity (excluding MANG from this discussion)

Hi all i have a 3 year experience as Datascientist in industry with masters in ML im completely tiered of my current job due to politics , work env and projects .want to switch to other companies..please help me which one has good work env and proper pay nd projects

I have very little technical skills, just been making PPT and light excel analysis. I want to continue doing this type of work outside of consulting. What roles should I be looking for?

Hello — Looking to crowdsource some pros & cons from this knowledgeable group. I have two opportunities. 1: FAANG in Product and 2: Big Pharma. Compensation is more or less equivalent (~300-350k range with Pharma heavy on cash, FAANG heavy on RSUs). What should I be thinking about (long-term trajectory, WLB, future exit opportunities, other)? Appreciate the input in advance.

Does anyone have experience or thoughts about life after big law (whatever that means)? I'm a third year tax associate and seriously worrying whether I've chosen a practice area that is too "niche" to find something after. Do I even want to practice law? Do I just need a vacation?? Any and all insights are welcome!

Hearing the low raises of senior managers and up as a senior, it makes me worry a little bit about long term trajectory.

I graduated in 2016, did a state court clerkship, and then was hired as a hearing officer. I’m looking to apply for an attorney advisor position but wonder if my lack of ‘traditional’ legal work will harm my chances. Thoughts?

Any PA firms offer part time jobs? I want to go back to grad school next year but I need a part time job. I’m currently at PwC (I’m aware of PwC’s FWA but I’m not interested in that).

Is anyone a data scientist at a FAANG company? Very curious in what you do and would love to speak

How is Prescient Healthcare Group as a firm? What is WLB like? What do senior roles at director level look like? Professionalism? Brand? Compensation?

Almost 2 YOE and up for SC promotion. Is it a downgrade to jump to an associate product manager position?

Any tips for moving up in a medium/large-sized legal department, aside from switching companies? I work in a collegial environment with plenty of opportunities to create more value, but the management level is fairly crowded and it seems the clearest path to get one of those roles is to be hired into it. What has been your experience? Thanks!

Discuss the pros and cons of a partner who boomeranged out to industry and came back vs. a partner who’s a consulting lifer. Who does better in the long run?

Do you have to have an MBA to get a job at Big4? I'm trying to get into Deloitte.

Once you get into a FAANG company, is it better to stay where you are or move around? I’m a dissatisfied with my current job but I have vesting stocks, work 9-5, and people to know and respect me. I am the sole provider for my family and value quality of life and stability. I have some interview requests from other FAANG companies that I know pay more but I worry about starting over. Anyone switch companies and either regret it or are glad they did?

What book has inspired you the most in life principles, or your career in finance?

Just began studying for the CFE exam. I have access to past editions of the ACFE Fraud Examiners Manual. Does anyone have recommendations on where to get good practice questions? I’d like to avoid spending a fortune on the ACFE kit.

Hi fishes,

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

Does anybody have good electric standing desk recommendations? Ideally in the $200-300 range.

Hi Fishes, im currently in energy consulting domain. 6 yr YEO. Non IT background with PG. took up a course on advanced certifn. in DS and AI w Intellipaat in the hopes of a hike or a possible career transition. CTC is 7.9 .

Any advice on what should be my realistic expectation after the course and gaining knowledge on Python, SQL, MLops, Power BI, Tableau?

Hi Everyone. I completed my 1 year in EY in October 2022. And in my profile, they have updated it to Senior Analyst now. But that was a progression that happens every year and I have not received the incremented salary.

Now that they are giving increments to everyone, will I receive both progression and increment or my progression will be counted as increment.

Highly confused.

Considering a move to Ireland. Can someone describe the work life balance in comparison to the US?

I am currently stuck at my job until next year by which time (hopefully) I will get my GC. How do you stick around your job that you hate. Every day is just getting harder. It gets harder every time I know the opportunities I can get out there and how much my company is underpaying me.

EY versus AWS. Better culture , work life balance , benefits , long term potential ? I’m not talking about pay (AWS is about $80k more) just trying to gage the other factors.

Lots of us are skilled at delivery but most sales books seem to focus on the pitch and closing... What are your best resources for learning to develop and nurture strong, lasting client relationships?

What would you do in this situation?
I have my last day at employer A right before thanksgiving and will be covered on their health insurance through 11/30. I am taking some time off before starting a new position with employer B in mid January but their insurance wouldn’t be effective until 2/1. I have 60 days to elect COBRA under employer A, which leaves me with 2 days where I wouldn’t have coverage (Jan30/31). What would you do in this situation? (Cont)

I work for a smaller firm and it feels like people stay on the bench forever waiting for projects. Do people at most firms have a project lined up when their current one ends? Bench life is killing me
