"We usually start Senior Associates at X, but due to profits this year we will be starting you at x-1000." I get it, but I don't like that my salary is adjusted for others' unprofitability.

This is a bad sign. Imagine how the conversation would end if you sent an email stating, "I know that you start new associates at $X, but do to my great personality and high GPA, I'm going to need to start at $X + $1,000".

BDO has been growing "organically" and the cost of this growth has caused a hole in the pockets of the partners. So rather than pay their people who get worked to death (certain offices not all), they come up with this BS.

Hi all,

I have cleared all the interviews for Walmart and salary negotiations are also done. A month ago the recruiter said that they are waiting on some approvals and once it is done we will be issuing the offer letter but I haven't heard back any other update since then. Am I getting rejected or is it normal to be on hold without any update for a month at this stage?

Hi Fishes ,12L INR fixed in Accenture how much would be in-hand per month.

5th September is my last working day at Infosys. Yoe=4+ yrs
Tech= aws devops
I hold an offer of 18LPA from KPMG with joining date of 7th September. (Wfh)
I applied at Workday on 15th May and went through 7 technical rounds of interview and received a verbal offer letter of 21LPA (hybrid)
Now apparently their technical panel "forgot" about the interview and wants to have a discussion again as 8th technical interview. HR says their joining date will be 19th September.

Should i join KPMG?

Once you’ve applied via referral link to a position, does it keep you in a referral pool or do you need to constantly get a new referral link if you apply to another role say 4 months later? Curious since they only last 30 days and i feel bad asking for a link a 3rd time now…..

Does anyone have a similar experience? I interviewed with recruiters from two of "Big 4".

I wonder why the partners even not bothered to interview me. If it matters, I am a CPA with 3 years non-PA experience and applied for experienced associate positions. I appreciate any insights.

Feel like audit scheduling is always done on a knifes edge in that the timeline and staff schedules are enough so that if everyone works 60 hour weeks and no issues are identified then it can be filed on time. But even small things that increase the work can wildly throw off the schedule and cause hours to skyrocket for the staff on the job. No real point here, just ranting.
