So I'd estimate that being $4-$5K per year net which is like an additional $8K per year in salary. Hmm I mean the whole point of doing this is to work my way up to a point where $8K is trivial, so yes. At the same time those little things do make it easier to stay late working.

It does feel good to get that "free" dinner and ride home relative to not getting it for free. But GS1 is spot on: our base plus bonus still makes this field worth it

Anyone recently join Guidehouse as an experienced hire Manager? I have an interview coming up and am curious what kind of salary/benefits package i should expect. TIA!

I need a career change and I could use some advice.
I know the industry I want to work in (Entertainment, Film&TV) but I’m having difficulty choosing positions to apply for.
I have a BSc in Economics for Arts, Culture and Comms (focused on the film industry), 7 years of experience in a big name news channel (operations dept) and I speak 7 languages (at different fluency levels).
Are there any specific positions that would most benefit from multilingualism where that would give me a boost? Thx

Okay I'm absolutely confused:
I recently changed roles and companies. Went from full accounting into a senior/associate investment Analyst role.

I basically went from creating and implementing models with my colleagues and managers.
To now analyzing VC/PE funds and building decks for our investment recommendations.

The thing is i was used to have inputs when needed from my managers for my models. Now I'm in a senior position with not much support for something I haven't done since uni
