Anyone here from Barclays finance/investment banking domains. Since most of the roles and packages discussed here are for technology/IT related.

I have also recently cleared all interview rounds in TCS & HR Shared 'Salary Breakup'. Still, my status in the iBegin portal is not changing from 'Evaluation in Progress' to 'Evaluated' & so on, even after uploading all required documents. They had initiated the process 2 times, 1st on 16th Nov and 2nd on 24th. Please let me know, how long it will take to release the final offer letter. Thanks

In my experience, the lack of mentorship and the overall bureaucratic nature of the profession (speaking of public accounting specifically). The mentality that a lot of managers/senior managers/partners have is you either eat or be eaten. Sink or swim. That puts so much pressure on people at the bottom levels because they are trying to figure it out. Add on top of that all of the other requirements firms place on staff. (Quarterly business development requirements, hour requirements, etc). It is too much. I think for the most part not feeling valued or not worthy of being mentored overall causes stress because you’re constantly wondering if you’re good enough. Which I think now times are changing and we see with this significant staffing shortage that firms either need to adapt to the change and listen or cease to exist. Period.
@SC1 agreed! On a micro-scale, I think the conversations are happening. Some firms may be a little slower than others when looking into it. At some point there will be a great reckoning that will force them to change. But you’re right, it is forcing people into more senior roles faster than ever before which means more workload and more stress. I do think the conversation needs to continue but also need fast action as well. They need to “walk the talk” so to speak.

Thanks!
I don’t disagree or agree with the billable hours commentary in the article. However I wonder (seriously) who should take the pay cut should billable hours requirements be reduced or eliminated?
From a mental health standpoint I’m all for it but I wonder how the economics would play out?
