Pros and Cons between Deloitte and Accenture? High level I guess I’m wondering Pay, WLB, and Promotion opportunity

Partners,

My firm is immature in guiding development planning. I have energy to accelerate to the next level of responsibility.

What evidence distinguishes an analyst as ready for the next level?

I am ready to transition my Salesmen to a base salary with commission to incentivize new hires & reward my long term guys. My industry is aftermarket auto parts. I am leaning towards a 2% commission but am flexible and just need help in figuring out salaries.

I have tried absolutely everything I can think of to limit distractions during the work day and none of it has worked. Working from home has only made it 100 times worse because now I know there are other more interesting things to be distracted by all around me. What do you do to hold focus during working hours? What will get me to be able to work for longer than 35 minutes without getting distracted?

I’ve been running into weird happenings at my new firm learn of everything “I misunderstood” about my package. I don’t actually qualify for quarterly bonuses at a pro-rated billing rate; no 401ks till year 2; and the biggest—we don’t qualify for a raise unless we are here during the entire fiscal year. We have a 2100 billable req which I’m barely hitting. We also get paid below 6 figures. I learned that the new associates came is at least $10k over us. I graduated 2020–but 1st firm job. Advice?

currently tossing up between staying at a global company (who is in the process of some positive changes) with an amazing manager who supports my career and flexible working … however comes with the inherit issues that come with a long standing global company

Hi Everyone!

I’m a former government employee with experience in recruitment, sales, & IT support.

Anyone at Airbnb, Amazon, American Express, Apple, Chime, Docusign, DoorDash, Evernote, Facebook (Meta), GE, GitHub, Grubhub, Google, GoDaddy, HubSpot, Jellyvision, Klaviyo, Lending Tree, LinkedIn, Lyft, Mastercard, Netflix, Oracle, PayPal, Reddit, Roku, Route, Salesforce, Seismic, Shopify, Twitch, Twitter, UKG and Zocdoc willing to provide a referral?

So I've been at my job for 5+ years as a data analyst/back office support team. I made my way up into making a little over $40k. I've been WFH the past 2 yrs and overtime more than half my team has now been pulled out to work for a diff department which resulted in me taking 90% of our daily tasks to handle. I'm at a point where the salary I'm getting is disrespectfully low for all the work I do. Should I ask for a raise? And if so, how do I go about asking without sounding greedy.

Any book recommendations? Here are a couple that I've recently recommended:1) Freakonomics2) Super Freakonomics3) The Big Short4) Never Eat Alone. Please add as you see fit!

Really appreciate all inputs. Would like to spend as little money as possible.

They HAVE to know I’m looking for a job, but idk how to be sly about that?? It seems like they’d be taking a risk on me due to my background not being very standard…
