What are the odds my company (big 4) asks me to just leave immediately after I give my 2 weeks notice if I’m on the bench right now? Trying to strategize here so I don’t put in the notice too soon

If you indicate you are going to a competitor, odds are high. And they will (typically) honor the 2 weeks pay.

Typically firms pay out 2 weeks regardless. Last firm I was at I announced I was heading to a competitor and was rolled off that day, then paid my full 2 weeks (despite not working) + severance + accrued PTO.

Thoughts?

Hey all, I’ve recently joined EY consulting from another Big 4 and have noticed there’s no discipline (at least in my team) around codes and charging time. People either charge a standard 7 hrs or some will charge time spent on internal activities to their client code.

I was told that “the last person to charge their actual hours worked was promptly booted off the project”.
Just wondering:
1) Is this a general cultural point accross all Consulting teams? Will challengin this get me in trouble?
