Senior business analyst opp at Wayfair in Boston. I hear they’re growing like crazy. Can anyone shed light on if this is worth pursuing? Comp, culture, actual work, etc?

Don’t do it. They’re business model and customer acquisition cost vs customer value is not sustainable. Just look at articles by Peter Fader

Depends on the team - some are phenomenal and others are fine. I would actually say that pay and sustainability are pretty great overall from the Bainies who have hopped over (but they’ve also been very thoughtful about the teams they joined). They’re focused on long term career development so not a bad place to be, especially given their emphasis on firm culture. Definitely do your diligence on the team and work because it’s a large company, with a lot of variability that comes with that. Check out some of the other threads on FB about it

@C1 - you can make that argument for many high growth companies who are trying to consolidate market share. It doesn’t mean that they won’t become highly profitable at scale. Now, I certainly do have concerns about Wayfair’s long term potential (e.g., undifferentiated product offerings, sustainability of logistics model), but near term profitability isn’t high on the list.

Wayfair is known to under pay and overwork their employees. Not a great place for long term career growth.

Does anyone know if this is normal? I joined a vault 100 firm in September last year. The firm put me on tier 7. In January I had the associate review and everything was normal. After a couple of weeks, I got the call from the hiring partner telling my bonus and new salary (because of the firm-wide salary increase). I realized I still get paid as a 7 year associate. The partner said because I joined the firm later in the year, it’s normal not to advance in the next year. Is it? Thanks!

I've heard a couple of things about how the partner pension amount @ PwC is determined, both similar in approach.

Both calculations I have heard of result in an annuity paid until death, at which point a surviving spouse (if any) receives the annuity.

The first calculation I have heard is that you get 80% of your highest earning year as a partner (e.g. If your best year was $1M, you'd get $800k as an annuity).

The second calculation I have heard is that they look at your three highest earning years as a partner, and take the second highest and you get 100% of that. (e.g if your three highest earning years were $1M, $800k, and $1.2M, you'd receive $1M as an annuity).

Is ANY of this true, or just all rumor? Any PwC partners that can chime in and explain the pension plan fact for fact? Perhaps with sample numbers?

I didn't apply for a job that would have set me up for the future in the government. I wouldn't have to worry about money or future jobs. My boss had just given me a small pay rise and talked up the future and so I felt good. I now severely regret not applying for the job and cannot stop thinking about it to the point of insomnia and depression. I even contacted the employer but too late. It's a small town and rarely anything comes up. I hate myself and feel like I failed my family. :(
