So here I am practicing my spiel at midnight for yet another important meeting with the bosses tomorrow, so that I can be perceived as an effective story teller. Im constantly wondering if I’m an exception to the norm, where I know that many of my colleagues rarely ever practice presenting in preparation for their meetings. I thought at some point in my career, I will be able to just freely run my mouth, without the constant “ahm”s, but 20 years into it, still hasn’t happened. What about you ?

I found one of my coworker's anonymous Twitter accounts, and it has a ton of red flags involving bigotry, sexism, etc. It's a personal account, so should I mention it to HR or not?

Thoughts on a manager texting you to ask why you aren’t online Easter weekend when all of your work is completed and another senior who can’t handle their own work decided to randomly send you their returns to review?

Do you dress up to go into the office?

Happy Halloween, my fellow Tech Pros! I love this Holiday, anyone come up with a creative costume to wear at work?

Newbie consultant starting in a few weeks. What’s the attire like with government clients? Suits whenever on site? And are you typically on site all week except Friday?

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.

Recommendations for white sneakers for the office for women ??

When your seniors aren’t motivated and pulling their weight, it shows and demotivates you. It’s a domino effect. How do you handle these situations? The senior pushes every single thing down and it’s clear to everyone this person could care less. Makes me not care and not want to do anything either…

Hi, we just launched Diversity and inclusion committee at our work place and one of our many initiatives is to share some reminders /notifications about safety and inclusion in common employee platforms/portals e.g There’s no place or time when discrimination is acceptable. Please feel free to report to HR if you com across any discriminatory behavior. Anyone has any more similar ideas what other topics we can add?

My boss is always making last minute changes to my schedule. Adding shifts or asking me to cover for other people. Any advice on how to handle this? I want to be a team player but the last minute changes stress me out.

I’m dealing with a difficult management situation and don’t know what to do, how would you report someone when nobody really cares what’s going on or is automatically going to side with the other person?

How bad is it to leave an understaffed team right before fall busy for a job in a new city? Part of me doesn’t care at all b/c it’s a business decision, part feels like I’m totally screwing the team.

I have a hard time articulating and communicating ideas to my team. On top of that, English is not my first language. I’m 27 but sometimes I feel like a jr. How can I empower myself and beat the impostor syndrome ? Do you honestly think that being a woman I have to work twice harder for it?

Lady fish, please advise: what best for guys to wear to a bar event for NYE? No dress code. Is a suit sans tie trying too hard? Tech billionaire jeans and blazer?

Since we returned to office in October, is it appropriate to give holiday gifts to team members?

I have a crush on my counsellor at work. She's much older but still really gracious and beautiful. Should I go for it or is this a bad idea?

Hello! I've been struggling the last few weeks because someone on my team has been taking credit for my work. This coworker is really good with buzzwords and getting the attention of upper management. I'm feeling discouraged - what should I do?

Hi,
I have offer from capgemini and i have better offer from other org. I want to negotiate with capgemini and 18 April is my LWD in my current org. When I should negotiate with capgemini.

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.

Any great personal finance/investment books to read? Or even YouTubers/Podcasters

Really looking into expanding my investment horizons — particularly about learning about how to allocate my investment portfolio. Also, always nice to learn about better ways to save and cutback.

If you find this drop a comment and share what you've hated/loved. I've hated:
ApplicantStack
Talent Pool Builder
Oracle Recruitment Cloud TextRecruit (a neat idea but sooo not worth the cost per applicant imo) Career Builder (its odd to include on this list but it is)
I'm ambivalent about: Zapify (the thing that imports resumes from other places into your ats - so clunky compared to a manual upload)
SmartCRM - still new but it seems like an afterthought to SmartRecruit

Any recent communication on push /mandatory to come to office for KGS gurgaon?

This bowl fell off. Typical 35+ behavior 🤭😄

What shift do most developers work in ?
I've heard a lot of negative feedback about 2-11 shift.

Just left AWS 2 weeks ago. I have not received anything about returning equipment. How long after resigning did it take.

Is now a good time to buy property in London? For investment purposes.

Thanks

Why is onsite so important for us IT people even though we can live a more comfortable life here in India and save equally here too? Not judging anyone since I am also one of those people who feels like a failure because I couldn't make it to onsite in last 7 years while many of my peers have.

Any advice for someone trying to get a job as an electrical engineer with no formal degree? My current job has given me a ton of experience in this field. Engineers I've worked with have told me that I would check all the boxes in regards to what they want from an engineer except the degree.

How much time does it normally take for BA transfer from Pune office to complete?

If you had to guess, what will logistics and supply chain look like in the next 10 years?

Male swim trunk brand recommendations? Prefer shorter slimmer European cut

When do firms start sponsoring green cards? What’s the earliest year you have seen and can I negotiate this as part of lateral package?

My SO just started with PWC Australia. I might have to relocate to the states in one year. Will it be possible for my SO to relocate to states as well through PWC at around 1 year mark? Does PWC allows that just after/within one year of joining? Assume she'll get L2 through me, if that matters.

I was promoted to manager in July 2020 (3,5 yr of experience). Currently preparing for YE but honestly, I couldn’t care less - what motivates one to push for SM promotion? Not my case atm, but wanted to hear what motivates ppl to keep going as I don’t feel like it’s worth it.

Wrapped up 3rd interview (including initial HR call) on earlier this week Director… when do you think I could get a offer?

I have some experience in cost mgmt/optimization field and want to join big 4 for better exposure. Are these teams currently actively hiring?

It’s now been about a month since I cold applied to all big 4 firms for upcoming winter internships. I’ve tried reaching out to some of the recruiters in the area I applied for but no response. Is this white flag territory or is there still hope? And if it’s the ladder is there anything I can do to speed up the process or is it just a waiting game.

Any directors jump to make P? How did it go? Tips to share?

Looking for a PwC senior associate referral in Advisory, anyone want to help me out. I have about 3.5 YOE, a PMP, an engineering degree from a top 10 engineering program, and feel like I’m a good fit for the position.

would you make a switch from a big 4 to Simplus? expecting to get an offer from them and any info about them would be appreciated. I've seen a bunch of reviews on Glassdoor etc. - pretty decent

Thoughts on exiting to a second tier accounting firm to advance level (D—>MD) and more pay? P’s get paid less but also sounds like less pressure/stress and more opps to be a leader sooner

What can I expect from EY’s case interview? Senior consultant position for Business Transformation. TIA

I’m honestly dreading going in today to hear *nothing* about the Buffalo shooting, the terrorism and white supremacy that keeps getting people murdered. We’re just supposed to keep responding to emails and join calls.

I joined KPMG a while ago from federal consulting. Federal consulting had super good work life balance but I’ve been working at KPMG strategy for a while now. The hours are wild, my managers expect perfection, and I feel like it’s all meaningless. Does anyone else feel like this, how have you dealt with it, and is it like this once you go into industry?

Looking into a role within complex securities, would be switching from a quant role in banking, can anyone share any insights on the team, projects, etc?

I'm a Consulting Associate and have been with RSM since Fall 2020. I make 75k in Chicago - I think I'm underpaid(?). I get DMs from Big4 and I'm thinking about moving firms. Should I wait for the promo/bonus on Aug. 1 or just start looking now? I know for a fact I'll be getting promoted to Senior.

Looking for suggestions on this offer with PWC : 1) Designation : Consulting Manager 2) 158k base + 15k sign on bonus 3) Location : New York City

How is KPMG? I found many negative reviews that are recent along with many job openings and hiring pushes similar to Deloitte.

What is the pay range for a SR Associate in Cyber, 3 years experience at big4, certs, and security clearance in Florida. Just trying to get get screwed if I apply.

Any KPMG associates who can share org levels. I heard Sr Manger at Accenture, Deloitte is equal to Director at KPMG. Is is true? can some one share insights
