Thought I’d give a quick update on my two Seiko projects from before the holiday

Do you guys give your boss's New Years' gifts? I'm thinking of doing one since I didn't give a holiday gift but thought it maybe weird

Are we getting paid tomorrow since it’s a holiday weekend? I believe Juneteenth weekend we got paid on a Friday even though pay day was Tuesday

What is a good conversation value for IHG / holiday inn points ? Is “13k points for $100 room rate “ a good deal ?

hi all, hope all is well

i left deloitte risk advisory due to personal reasons in sep 2021 (time off since july 2021) as the work got a bit much and my situation at home was complex.

i applied for a snr consultant role in consulting (strategy & ops, indus. redesign & innov.) and saw my app. got shortlisted. this role looks more suited for me and im super interested in it, more so than my prev. exp at D but you never know haha. whats the process like/how likely will i progress?

Ate so poorly on vacation im scared to weigh myself 😣

Any ideas on how to negotiate a delayed start date? I really want it to be Jan. My mental health needs some time off and this company breezed through interviews to offer in 1 week when I was expecting it to take at least a month. I really need some time to recover from burnout.

I just started a new job 2 months ago, benefits and PTO don’t start until 90 days in so I still have a month before I can take off any time, and today found out my company doesn’t offer paid maternity leave.
I’m really struggling handling the symptoms and maintaining my full time job. Thinking about looking for a part time job to have more time to myself through the pregnancy since I won’t be getting a paid leave anyways, but lost on where to start looking. Any recommendations?

Is today 25 oct holiday in pwc india?

Just had to go to thesaurus dot com to look up synonyms for “exciting”. I think I need a vacation….

Is the EY 16 week maternity pay 100% of the salary ? I was reading the FAQs and could not find anything that said 100 % of pag provided in the 16 weeks of eligible time off.

COVID policy for interns. How are you handling? Paid time off? Case-by-case? Are you sharing a specific policy (yes, I know it differs state-to-state)?

Unlimited PTO... love it or hate it? If your company has it, do you feel able to take it as needed, or is there push-back for "important meetings?"

hiya fishes. happy friday! sorry if this isnt the right bowl, but this is in regards to vacation time. i have an interview process starting next week, and wondering when it would be good to mention i would be OOO between the middle of the month in september? its for a week. im unsure if i can twist this to have a start date once im back. going back and forth on being transparent vs. mentioning it later on. thoughts?

EY 🐠 - potentially starting with the firm soon, and my partner is due to have our first in April. Given the 1 year service requirement for leave, would I have the option to take PTO during birth and use parental leave after my 1 year of service? Appreciate any guidance here

PwC people, does vacation negatively impact utilization the same way hitting G&A does?

Recent lateral junior associate in brand new practice where I'm the only associate. I'm probably going to bill 1,500 hours max this year due to being very slow and taking time off for a delayed honeymoon which I disclosed during my interview process. I have been told my work product is good, I don't turn anything down, I participate in non-billable work, I'm responsive and I always let people know I'm available to help. Do I need to be worried about getting fired for low hours?

What's going on this weekend? Any fun holiday shops or pop-up bars I could check out?

Hi All,

How long do ppl in the US generally take leaves in December for vacation?
Only last couple of weeks or the entire month?

Anyone else pretty terrible at managing their own finances? I have an embarrassingly little amount of cash saved.

I'm not sure if I have the willpower to become "successful" in this industry.

Does anyone know of any programs for aspiring Strategists in NYC? I know Miami Ad School does a 3 month crash course starting in April and but I'm not seeing much else.

Ive been practicing in TX for 2-3 years at a big law firm doing mostly bankruptcy work (and some trial) and looking to clerk at a bankruptcy court in SDNY/DDE/EDVA (I am well aware of how great the SDTX judges are but I am set on leaving Texas). Anyone familiar with how many apps these judges normally get or what makes candidates stand out? Are these judges generally not interested in someone who has practiced in a different market?

How do you know if your getting paid your worth? Accepted a job offer and haven’t started yet but I’m questioning the offer 😕

I heard promotion of higher management is already announced?
When will the promotion of level 11 and 10 will be announced?

Any recommendations for a mattress? Cheaper the better (although I’d love the Sheraton, I can’t afford $$$$)

Hi Fishes, need your advise.
I got an offer of 9 LPA and my current CTC is 6.22LPA.
I am confused whether I accept the offer or reject it because now a days there is no calls for interviews.
Please help me.

How’s Goldman Sachs project in PS for Java Microservices Architect with 12 YOE? I joined recently only, and going to request for this project.

Any Frenchies here working in Cloud Engineering ?

What is personal independence??
Why Pwc asked me to fill all investment details for me and my dependant.
Can anyone please help me on this ??

@pwc

How do you take care of your dog if you travel for work with your dog? Does your dog get enough exercises when you’re in travel? If it’s possible, I would like to know everything.

Any advice for how to transport wine during a move (1,000 miles driving)? There’s only about 15 bottles i actually care about from my collection - I’ll probably end up just drinking the other 30 by the time we move.

Anyone been to Ibiza? I’m (27M) traveling solo in July and would love some recommendations on where to stay, party, and eat. I’ve never been so any advice is appreciated!

How's the general WLB at VC firms? ( Top ones - Sequoia, Matrix, Accel, Elevation )

Atlanta vs Savannah vs Tampa?

Recommendations for tailors on the west side? Considering using nordstrom if all else fails… can anyone vouch for nordstrom?

Been waiting years to buy a SS Daytona & it finally came. Black dial from AD @ retail. Given today’s environment is it still a good idea? Thoughts? How did Rolexes perform in 08-09? Daytonas 08-09?

Alright this bowl has convinced me I need to buy a Rolex. Where do I begin? I know my brother got a Batman GMT after about a year at a jeweler he never purchased from a few years ago, but was he just lucky? Do I need a relationship with an AD in today’s market for a Sub or GMT? Based in Seattle but would prefer to buy in Oregon to avoid taxes

Random question since I learned about this watch recently: does anybody in the bowl have the salmon dial Seiko Sarb037? And if so, how/where did you get it?

Is Rolex shipping watches again? My AD promised me a specific model and not sure if I’m getting ghosted or what...

Went to look for my first Omega, think I’m getting a Grand Seiko “Winter” instead.

Have a 6.25 inch wrist: is the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 41 mm too big for my wrist?

My husband said he would buy me a Rolex as a “push present” for our first child. I would want just a classic, timeless (no pun intended) looking ladies Rolex watch that I can wear for many years to come. Suggestions on a style? I really don’t know anything about them and would like to get some opinions on what people like since there are so many options.

What level of watch is acceptable to wear to work? Not sure if office vs client site also impacts

Who wants to start a DAO and buy time shares (literally lmao) in a watch.

Can rotate throughout the year 😂

Authorized Dealers vs Jomashop ... which one offers better price and is there any other reason to choose one over the other ? Can we negotiate with ADs and bring them down to Jomashop prices ? Any other negotiation tips/ benchmarks ?

Any advice on how to find and build rapport with reputable ADs as someone just getting into luxury watches?
