What are your Realization and Utilization targets annually in Tax? Please share your firm as well if you don’t mind. Thanks!

Plan to go to B-school in 3 years (1 year out of UG now). Long term goal is entrepreneurship. Have offers at a MBB firm for a generalist consultant role and at FAANG for a strategy role. FAANG offer is slightly higher (though both are a 50+% bump on my current comp). Both would have me reset to entry level. Which one should I take?

16 yoe experience in full stack development with Java. Ctc 32 LPA, how much should I be asking when I’m currently interviewed for engineering manager/senior manager position?

Please suggest any good sources to prepare for data engineer interviews in GCP, Python, SQL, Pyspark. I have worked only in a few tools in GCP and done basic coding in pyspark and above average in SQL, but need to be prepared to handle all questions to grab some offer. YouTube has lot of resources but confused on which one to start with. I have an interview this Tuesday in another 2 days.

Any on Forward for Health Care?
New here to Fishbowl so first post.
Interested to hear if anyone is using Forward for their primary health care service?
Thinking about joining.
Interesting subscription based cost model but basically pushing interactive, team based approach to long term health care with a good blend of tech and analytics built in.

I’m a dental assistant with 12 years experience. I have been staying home with my kids for the last 10 years but recently went back to temping. I would love to find something that was work from home instead. I have a passion for dentistry and the gut/oral health connection. Anyone know of anything that’s work from home?

What do you tell yourself when you’ve had the worst day?

Should you thank your manager for your raise? Seems like a strange thing to do but also do see the appropriateness of it all. Just unsure

Starbucks is notorious for having bad coffee...but which of their brews is the best? If you absolutely had to go, what are you grabbing?

These dating apps. ARGH! Someone “likes” you (takes the time to do that) then never messages you back. I don’t understand.

How do you track your progress towards goals?

I usually write down my reflections and goals in the notes app, but inevitably (after 1-2 months) i break my habit and fall off the wagon. I’m wondering if people have suggestions on how they stay on track

Remember y’all, just say no to unreasonable expectations. They need you rn way more than you need them.

We stay until 8 or 9 everyday and then at the end of every week my manager tells me to book only 40 hours. It sucks ass and now I have to explain to my counselor why my utilization is so pedestrian...

Does anyone have experience or know of someone who went on a FWA (part-time) but didn't have kids? I'm unmarried and no kids but considering a move to 30 or so hrs/week for my sanity.

Can you negotiate PTO at annual review?

Tax senior with CPA at small firm. Best way to get to Big 4 audit? (LA or OC) Went to non-target so little to no alumni at B4. I don’t mind the switch to a lower title since audit was always my preference and was never a fan of tax (stayed local for family).

Does your coach see when you get a real time recognition award?

PPEDs: Just found out that a Partner, who was promoted in 2017, was fired. IDK the circumstances. What can they expect to walk away with besides 401k & normal pension plan?

I might get a lot of shade for this but tbh I never understood the hype of big fours. I feel I would have just been a slave there. Why would anyone trade their time and time with family for slave hours and money that you could make having your own thing or somewhere else? Everybody sounds miserable at big fours. What’s ur take?
