Asking specifically about the rewards role

Slightly different response than was requested, but I've heard it's primarily compensation and benefits work. What type of work are you hoping to do there?

Of course, my friends could be wrong about their own firms. So much is contextual and subjective when it comes to culture...

From my experience working in Mercer's Retirement Actuarial practice, the culture is pretty different than Big 4. Different style of consulting, but I got to work with some intelligent and driven colleagues.

What role op? Had them reach regarding a real estate type position but I've got zero experience in that sector

Sister firm of Oliver Wyman

And best talent and benefits consulting firm.

Should I Go Back and Reneg? Recently I was offered a role as a Project Implementation Manager (In Retirement Services) .The salary range for Colorado residents was 65-89K.

Ultimately he came back at 90K which is a bit inline with that I was seeing on Glassdoor but approx looks like I may leave 10-12K on the table. I accepted already but may get an offer from another HR company in account management around 90-100K. Need advice

I need advice. A student at my worksite came to school with a gun. He’s a SPED kid, and administration did not inform anyone. I had to help the teacher and instructional aide deal with the incident.

Finally, I have put down my papers in Infosys, today. While it was fairly good tenure with Infosys (been getting consistently commendable ratings), it was not so good when it came to benefits given by company. Also, the assurance given by managers for onsite opportunities, the moment you indicate you might leave, is a bluff. They will apply visa and this and that without any onsite assignment available. I have read cases people holding H1B for 2 years and yet never got the opportunity to go
