Really wish big four would get rid of the passive aggressive bullshit (i.e. snapshots) and either promote people or cut the slack.

I think it misses the frankness of "you know, you're just not doing great at this." It's couched in a bunch of generic verbiage and you're incentivized to work according to this stupid mold, rather than act human. Why are accountants all such drones? It's the most critical of the dimensions of the PwC professional framework.

Amen!! Like what is the deal!

Basically, take your level and that is your 'rating'. A1 below level A2 at level A3 next level and then Bamb next level you are a senior ! It is dumb.

Generally curious how many companies offer phone reimbursement? My last gig did not but the current one does. Legally it seems, all employers are required to do so if we use our phone in literally any capacity (video call, slack, teams, emails etc). How prevalent is the issue of not reimbursing phone dues?

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

Hello,
Can we get promotion after the mid year review in CitiusTech?
Or the promotion for the mid year already done?
I see for many people the designation has changed but for me it's not. I was under the impression that the promotion happens after the mid year discussion or after the year end discussion.
Can someone please tell the details and when we can expect the new revised letter mentioning the new designation.
