The job I’m applying for asks for 3-4 references, including at least one manager. Isn’t there something within KPMG where you’re not supposed to get references from KPMG personnel? What have other people done before to deal with this?

Kind of silly to ask for that many references… a background check and the fact you’re coming from big 4 should suffice. Dated recruiting policy right there

For me i used references from my previous firm who I kept good relationships with and people at my current firm who I am close to even after they left.

I'm currently working as an electrical designer in the MEP industry.

Or just tough it out?

3. How variable pay will be paid? monthly or quarterly or annually?

4. How much variable pay we will get by Average?
