Thinking about trying to find a full-remote job due to my partner applying to residencies at a lot of hospitals not in cities I could transfer to or that don’t have any Big4 at all. Is there anyone out there who’s done or is doing something like this? How do you like it? How did you find it?
Background: I am in Accounting Advisory Services, and love technical accounting so might struggle with a basic accounting position at a small company, but not sure what else to look for in my situation.

Ive heard of firms letting people work remotely given family situations. Have you asked KPMG if this is possible?

I haven’t yet...we’re a few weeks away from finding out where we’ll be (could actually end up in a city with an office, just don’t know due to the matching process), and about 6 months from actually moving. But this is going to be the first thing I do!

KPMG would certainly let you work remotely if you are close to an airport. AAS work will likely be remote or client site, no real need to go into an office.

I would talk to KPMG first. We had someone at our office who had to move because his wife got accepted to a school across the country. He works on the same clients as he did before, just remotely.

This situation is probably made easier if you tell them that you’ll come back to the area when your partner is finished their residency. But I’m sure a false promise just to help facilitate the remote working situation is fine 😂

This was my thought also, am definitely planning on asking!

I know Deloitte is accommodating in situations like this. It’s especially common with military spouses.

PwC also has remote positions. Not sure if KPMG has something similar to pwc’s COEs, but most of those positions are full remote for PwC. I know someone who moved to another state but continues to be employed by their home office in Texas.

Center of Excellence. But it’s basically they have one group that does all the major testing for a single FSLI. Like they have one for PPE and every engagement outsourced their PPE testing to that group, so it’s all done on one uniform format, and they’re supposed to be capitalizing on automation to be able to make things more efficient.

Idk how those things are going, it started like 2 years ago and I’ve since left the firm so I’m not in the loop.

This is all encouraging to hear..my first plan was to inquire about whether I would be able to stay on and work remotely. We won’t find out where we’re going for a few more weeks but that will be my first line of defense. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I appeared in L2 round of Capgemini recently.
Just after the intro first question they asked me " Do you have any offer and amount?" This question was asked in technical round.
I'm sure that guy wasn't a Manager.

I don't think he know how to take an interview.

Even after creating 2 asked program and answering 80% of their questions correctly.
Got rejected.
Didn't expect this kind of L2 round from Capgemini.

I need some advice. I got a new job back in may of this year. Very excited for a new opportunity to learn some new things and get a higher paycheck. I started and have gotten a few projects but they haven’t consistently been giving me hardly any work to do. I’m not resourced enough. I told my manager I have a lot of free time. I also work fully remote. I am feeling very unfulfilled and not sure what I should do next. I am very self motivated and want to make great work but not sure what to do.

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
