Does anyone know if the same 401k rules apply at EY as Accenture so they will cap the contributions coming for your check say if you hit the yearly limits in August? So if you hit the 22,500 in 23 there is no way to go over for tax issues. Thinking to frontload next year contributions if market is down. EY

I was laid off during Deloitte‘s mass layoff in July of last year. I have worked as an independent contractor since and projects haven’t been consistent at the client I’m working for. I’m looking to get back into a big firm and was seeing if anyone would be able to refer me or help get my foot in the door. I was a business analyst for 1.5 years at Deloitte and have several years of additional experience which I’d be more than happy to share.

The "optics" focus is pretty prevalent in corporate culture. If you don't want to deal with that, consider working at small companies (early startups, family owned, etc.). Brie consulting I worked at a few small companies and nobody cared about "optics." If you got results and were polite to co-workers you were fine.

I disagree. You can be a straight-shooter. You just have to be smart enough to back up your straight talk.
Be brazen. Someone SOMEWHERE in the firm will appreciate it, and you will be able to latch onto them
