What do y'all do for self-care? I have been trying to find easy, mostly inexpensive, mellow ways to occupy my free time in a positive way, and I'm not the most creative individual in town. Anyone want to share what's been working for them, especially during these increasingly crazy times? Thanks and Happy Thursday everyone. :)

Good evening!!

New to the group.

I have 2 and half years experience and EY. What would be a good negotiating salary for a financial Analyst position at Google?

Left IBD to quickly - VP1 opps?

Long story short - was lured into an opportunity to do BD for a large PE PortCo… better work/life balance, but honestly miss the deal cycle.

Anyone know of open VP1 opps right now?

Quick background - former MM banker (think Raymond James, Piper Sandler size) doing FinTech and Asset Management within FIG, but also open to other sectors.

Thanks!

We’re starting to interview for my copywriter partner this week, but I don’t have any creative leadership above me (I’m also the only creative with agency experience at the company) so I’m nervous about being the only one looking at prospective partners.

Any tips for good questions to ask to feel out who is the best fit? I’ve worked with great and not so great writers in the past and it wasn’t always clear which would end up being the not so great based on their books.

How many billable hours per week is considered at capacity? I’m getting pushback on boundaries I’m setting about additional matters and marketing work from my firm when I’ve been billing 60-75 hours per week for the last 6 weeks, and I’m still behind on my work. I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.

Hi,
Attended interview in hexaware, selected and completed CAF form. HR mentioned that it's sent for approval. But it's been a week and didn't got offer letter.
In general, how long it will take for approval of offer letter and get it released?

Are we getting diwali gifts?

Anyone know if the paid 16 week parental leave is available only once or for each birth?

I kind of feel that the HR I am talking with isn't that approachable. Is this kind of a norm. In VOIS. I am little hesitant to proceed with accepting the job offer from VOIS due to this.

Is this usually the norm in VOIS, where HR are quiet like this

What are some good east coast cities to buy an investment property in? For those of you who have done this before, what's better for a first time buyer/investor - commercial or residential?

Based in NYC but looking to buy outside the city. Something that's 400-500k and has good rental potential. Thank you.

How long do posts stay up for? I’m rewriting my CV to apply to a job which has been posted for around 19days. I reached out to a recruiter on LinkedIn (via a recommendation) but haven’t heard back. It’s a job in a European office of a major sportswear company for reference.

Moving to the city in three more weeks and was curious if anyone had any recommendations for staffing agencies? I am still very entry level, open to most anything. Repped by CC and 24 right now.

Any massage therapists as a side hustle?

I’m graduating in December, with a background in environmental economics and policy. Consulting didn’t work out this cycle. Made it to final rounds for Bain and Kearney but in the end didn’t get an offer. I want to recoup and try again, but I’m worried that once I’m out of undergrad the door will be closed to starting in consulting.

What can I do to make this happen? I have friends and connections at Bain and Kearney and the other firms as well, but not sure if it’s feasible now.

Not sure if anyone of you know but we EY india people got excel sheet to fill up for diwali goodies. Has anyone know what we can expect in diwali goodies?

What is the biggest problem your facing right now professionally that is effecting you personally?

Am I the only one frustrated w what’s going on w the state and what’s been taken away. It’s as if I’m taking home less than I did 5 years ago and on paper I’m technically making more. It’s sad.

When is it time to find a new school or district? Or even to switch grade levels?
