Hello fellow Protiviti members. I have currently been in talks with the company about moving on to my next career opportunity at the Boston or Atlanta offices and want to get an idea of what life is like working for the company. I currently work for PwC, I'm sure some of you come from big4 and understand the low salary, long hours, and office politics that PwC and other big 4s bring. Do you enjoy working at Protiviti more than PwC? How is work/life and travel requirements? Reinvest stuf requird?

I don't understand the point of hiring candidates. Its been more than two months and i am sitting idle. There is no updates from management. I am getting info like i will get half salary this month because of the bench policy. I m confused what to do next

What's everyone's best year look like? Direct hire revenue (not contract). Let's start a hopeful thread lol. Mine so far has been 350k. This year I was really hoping to break 400k but whether I make it or not is up in the air. Solo and Agency folks speak up!

3) Will TCS give joining bonus?

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?

Is it still reasonable to ask for a raise despite the recession period coming up?

What’s the going rate for an implementation manager with 4 years of service. Primarily in the PBM world

Woohoo!! Passed audit and reg!!!!!! Totally thought I failed. Now on to FAR 🙌🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽😊

I am sooo done right now. It’s not the workload, it’s not the hours,it’s not the crazy clients without controls nor processes...[I love audit (yes, I am a nerd and yes, I have a life outside)] (cont)

Looking for a job is easy, getting a job is much harder for a chemical engineer

I have a thing for UX designer girls. They are classy in their artistic style. ❤️ Do we have any here?

Used to be EXP on American, haven't flown them in a while and now no status. want to use miles for a flight, but they're charging $75 processing bc it's within 21 days. Any way around this?

If you bought a United Flight with miles can you change your flight and book with cash? I don’t have enough points for flight I want to change to and app is only give me miles option

Do you think diversity training actually works? I can't tell if it's just a way to tick a liability box or if it's actually effective.

Anyone who works at Wells Fargo willing to connect?

Starting with Deloitte m&a next week. Should I expect to be slammed from day one?

I saw a senior business analyst role at Uber that looked interesting. Can anyone tell me more about the job, interview process, or salary expectations?

When, if ever, do you add “Esq.” to your name outside of work?

I’m currently in a minor dispute with a company over a credit card overcharge and am wondering if I should have added “Esq.” to my signature in my complaint email lol.

33 M in NYC. Open to chatting!

How many matters is typical for one associate to handle (BL lit)? I know it is group-specific, but just trying to get a general idea. I’m a 2nd year and I am the only associate staffed on about 30 cases-meaning I keep track of all deadlines, do all day to day assignments, keep on top of following up with client/OC, and all research/drafting. Partners handle deps/court but that is about it. Is this a normal case load to be responsible for as a jr? I being dramatic by thinking this is too much?

Does your firm let you take 28-30 December off? Many of my team members won’t be working those days and I decided last minute that I’d like to travel somewhere between Christmas and the New Year.

Someone needs to explain to me why I need to urgently (like yesterday) explain a matter to the people running the specific part of the deal (noting to them that OC’s request is nonsense because Y) only to be copied two days later - “my colleague X will provide”.

If you do billable work on a given PTO/vacation day, do you still count that day as vacation? Or do you get that vacation day "back"? Or do you only get the part that you billed "back"? (Or some other option.)

Worst luck ever. My group was very slow from Jan through may, so I won’t hit my hours, but am now (and will continue to be) very busy…. About to do 1990 hrs the most painful way possible. Fml.

How many times can an associate switch firms before it starts to look bad?

I’m a second year in general litigation. I’ve been drafting briefs, memos, letters, motions, etc. but I’m getting the documents back with a lot of redline. From what I see, majority of my research, thoughts, and substance is there but it doesn’t feel good seeing all those redlines. Is it normal to see all those redlines or am I doing something wrong?

There is a partner that, without fail, calls on Fridays after 6pm anytime I am staffed with him. It’s extremely frustrating since his calls are usually non-urgent and I make it a point to check in early in the day to address anything. Any advice?

Do partners sometimes say nice things about your work just to encourage you and less so because the work merits the compliment? Or is my impostor syndrome really messing with my head?

Think it is funny how recruiters seem to think the vague description "national market paying firm in X city" is at all enticing to one already at a national market paying firm in X city. We're kind of already there, maybe it would help you get us to actually bite if you had anything slightly special to emphasize

What is the obsession clients have with insane speed in M&A transactions to closing? I’m a senior associate and have never understood why they always want to go lightning fast (other than a few instances that were made very clear and made sense). Speed to the point where I see them wanting to sign when barely half the deliverables are in order/are with the other side for review/demanding the most illogical things be done at lighting speed to “sign yesterday!” Why?

If you weren’t a biglaw lawyer what do you think you’d do? Been wondering as of late about what else is out there.

Thoughts on taking a position in the same practice group and same class as your spouse?

Joined big law in 2018, thought I’d wait 3 years before going in-house.

Covid hits, so decided to wait that out before going in-house.

Recession is hitting, so gonna have to wait this out before going in-house.

At this point, I’ll be a 7th year associate before I feel safe going in-house.

Bruh.

Any good ideas for Summer Associate projects in M&A? I’ve been assigned as the summer project coordinator for corporate this year.

As opposed to firms that are laying people off, are there any that we think are generally strong? I know at my firm we still seem to be bringing over laterals all the time, but I have heard our corporate associates worried about drying work.

Is 7-10 days enough notice to take a single day of PTO? Assume you’re fine to arrange coverage etc.

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!

Does anyone have any insight on the firm Husch Blackwell? Specifically their private wealth group.
