We have unlimited vacation but most ppl take 2 weeks off.

I am finally leaving the country to see my family - will it be ok to take 3 weeks or will that be pushing it?

What PTO does your agency offer?

I am interested in Accenture’s benefits for excess personal liability insurance. Can aomeone tell me who the provider is?

Can anyone let me know the benefits at Accenture?

Accepted an offer but the recruiter disappeared before sending me the list of benefits he promised to send, so was curious to see what those are at the moment!

The offer only lists that benefits are changeable, and you receive current ones so they aren't clearly defined)

Hey...anyone know if R/GA's health care plan cover for the entire month if you were to leave mid-month? Or, do they only cover until your last day of employment ?

Are there jobs in advertising (or out for that matter) where taking vacation time doesn't feel bad?

Told my senior manager that my vacation time starts tomorrow. He then scheduled THREE meetings for us tomorrow. Friggin jerk...

Does Oracle offer any travel perks? (Airline status, discounts, etc?)

Has anyone successfully gotten their company to change their benefits? Our speciality pharmacy provided (Accredo) is so inept I’m repeatedly missing doses of my medication and routinely spending over an hour on the phone during work hours arguing with them. I work at a small company (40 people) and our insurance is blue cross Illinois (who contracts with Accredo for specialty pharmacy). Is there any way I could convince them to switch specialty pharmacy providers? Who would I even talk to?

Bain folks - how does your externship program work? Who pays externs at for-profit companies? What about benefits?

Hello fishes,

I recently joined here. Could you please help me on the useful benefits or any other that we shouldn't miss availing in Oracle( ex:- medi claims, domiciliary wallet, meal cards ,stocks, expense reimbursement). Also please guide me on the options available for investment declarations to save tax.

Also say if we will get yearly hikes. Read that there wouldn't be any hike at all in all of the reviews.

Hi, wanted to check Diwali holidays (which dates in that week) for KPMG India (not KGS) as I have got joining before Diwali week.

I should be getting my job offer this week. Can someone tell me if Chase offers benefits such as; student loan repayment, discounted daycare, childcare FSA, employer HSA contribution? If there’s a high-deductible plan what’s the max family out of pocket? What’s the employer 401k match?

Hello! Any neighborhood recommendations for a woman in her thirties living alone who is also an introvert and wants to live a peaceful existence? (I.e. no bars, nightclubs, or dating for me but I also don’t want a neighborhood with only large families). I have a dog so I would likely look for a townhome. Thank you!

Hi everyone, I need some help. I joined PwC-AC Advisory/Management Consulting 2 months back. My work hours here are terrible (I work from 7:30 in Morning till 1-1:30 at night at-least 4 dayas a week). Prior to PwC I worked for 1.5 years with my previous organization (Campus Hire at a Consulting firm). Do you think I should switch? And what are the realistic chances that HRs would consider my profile?

I’m a pharmacist thinking to transition to the inpatient setting after being in the outpatient setting. Just wondering if the grass is really greener on the other side. I read on Reddit that a lot of hospital pharmacists are getting burnt out and that many hospitals also have a high turn over rate

Hey everyone! What decent reason can I give for leaving sooner than notice period? I have 2 months NP. Would love to get out of here in a month. My boss let a teammate go in 2 weeks with same NP who said that he had COVID and need a long break from work. He was actually switching job while he got COVID. Same story won't work for me. Thank you.

Any Kearney partners here? How is being a Kearney partner different to being a partner at its competitors? Are they a cohesive and collaborative bunch? Are you concerned that the firm may disappear in the next few years?

Asking for a friend who is considering a move as a lateral partner. TIA!

Fitbit vs Apple Watch?

Articling student in Canada (8 month internship with potential hireback), currently doing transactional work. I’m WFH and having a hard time building relationships with partners. I’m friendly/chat with associates and am on great terms with one partner who gives me work often, but not much else. The firm “encourages” reaching out to partners to chat, though I’ve tried and been essentially ignored. Partners rarely have enough time to give me feedback, so I feel they don’t have time to chat.

GDC Real Estate folks, thoughts on the group in CA? Satisfaction, hours, culture, exits, etc.

For those who are dealing with mandatory RTO, what days will you be in the office next week? If you don’t have pressing work, how many days off are you taking?

Any insight into Skadden Los Angeles?

What was the hardest class year for you? I used to think first year was by far the hardest but now I’m a third year and I’m really feeling the pressure to step up. I work in finance and at this point I’m expected to handle closing documents, manage first years, draft some portions of major docs, etc. I feel like I’m always frazzled, constantly second guessing if I handled something correctly and anxious to answer calls from clients/OC. The worst part is I think people can tell I’m a mess....

Anyone know of any banks/lenders doing JD mortgages with good terms for multi-unit homes (one of which would be primary residence)? I’m Chicago area if that matters

I work at a ‘free market’ firm and have developed a very good reputation among partners. Naturally, they are drowning me in work. Each time a new case comes up, the partner will email asking if I have “time and interest” in helping. When I’m at capacity, I take these words at face value and explain why I can’t do it, and that seems to work out ok with no hard feelings. But what’s the “interest” thing? If I don’t want to work on a toxic tort case, do I just say that and pass?

Typical sign-on bonus for 3rd year lit?

Does everyone in Big Law feel like constantly chasing the "next step" hoping that accomplishing it will (and it does not) create a sense of fulfillment or change things up, whether in professional sense or generally in life?

Billed 0 hours today. 4 hours all week. Wooo!!!

Has anybody lateraled and fixed their funk? I feel like my firm was never a great fit, even though I can’t point to anything specifically wrong. The people themselves are great, but something isn’t working.

How do I know if I’m the problem?

I am a mid/senior associate on a very large and complicated case (multiple districts, tons of defendants, hundreds of depositions) finding myself spending hours and hours just managing all the moving parts. Making sure people are doing what they’re supposed to be doing, tracking down inconsistencies, keeping track of to do items. How do I bill for these? If i am not careful, I think it is easy to sound like I’m doing admin tasks (keeping track of things) when I am most definitely doing more

At what hours does an associate typically get a discretionary bonus? Asking for a friend 🤡

Stub year here.

Had the following elevator convo with one of the most senior (guy is very old) partners at the firm:

Me: water is being shut off briefly tomorrow, think your group will be wfh?

Partner: Not sure, I’ll just be bringing a bucket.

Me: Haha, I was thinking of diapers myself

Partner: Haha, that’s a good one, I’m going to use it

Me: It’s all yours, you could sell it better (meaning his delivery in my mind)

Partner: because I’m old?

*elevator closes*

Fired by tomorrow??
