Pwc - new joiner, how do we do vacation this week? I got the email but 2 days of vacation Monday and Tuesday is that the same as floating holiday? Or so I use a different WBS for floating holiday?

I'm graduating in a few weeks, is to weird to send a holiday gift like wine or a Christmas Card along with my resume? I haven't been hearing back from the companies i have been applying to and I'm looking to stand out.

If you take vacation, is the onus on you to make up that billable time? If so, how do you enjoy long vacations?

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?

Hi
I will be joining cisco bangalore soon
Can anyone share with me the holiday list for oct 2022
I need it to plan my travel
Just need to know if there's diwali holiday or not

Thanks

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?

What's a good salary in CH for a Big4 for a Manager position? What benefits can be included?

Anyone from Embark able to tell me about some benefits you have. Like how long is Paternity leave and do you have to be with the firm for a year to use it? Also what health insurance do you have? I saw that Embark fully pays premiums but if it’s a junk insurance company then that’s not so great haha.
Also how often are you traveling / in office? Thanks!

How much is appropriate for a restaurant gift card from an associate to a partner?
