So with a 2.1% unemployment rate for college-educated folks, we’re going to unilaterally disarm ourselves in the talent war against our competitors to do something the vast majority of our clients don’t require? I call fake news unless you cite a source.

Only experienced hires? If it's staff from undergraduates then PWC would loose 1/3 of the talent 😂

Whooo said that? Drug testing is stupid. Unless you’re a heroin addict, it’s only going to detect marijuana, which is used for medical purposes and is legalized for recreational use in some jurisdictions Everything else leaves your system quickly. And people should detect whether you’re a drug addict when they interview you

Thank you PWC. We needed a recruiting shot in the arm

I'm in finance/tech FPA, looking to go back to the defense industry for a 25% increase in TC. But wanted to see if I should leverage the new salary with current company to see if they'll match.

Background: got a promotion at current company that didn't come with sufficient increase . After stating my case I was told it would be evaluated next October, which is what prompted the initial job search.

Current TC 103K [88/15], offer 125k base [+discretionary bonus].
