What is a holiday tradition you hope to carry on forever? Mine is decorating the tree with my kids the evening of Thanksgiving and watching football on Christmas Day… go Chiefs ❤️💛

Is your firm treating 12/26 and 12/27 as firm holiday since the 24th and the 25th are during the weekend this year? Of course client demands would dictate whether people will be working, but curious what the official policy is. For what it’s worth, my firm treated the day after thanksgiving as holiday and I didn’t have to work for the whole day.

Are there any fun holiday pop-up bars this weekend? I would love a reason to wear my ugly sweater!!

How supportive are your companies when it comes to taking PTO for mental health days?

How are you all feeling about going into the holiday season while being remote? Missing the company holiday parties, or happy to be able to do your own thing?

Does ZS roll over unused PTO from one year to the next? How do people make it work with just 15 days at first?

What is your title and how much vacation do you get?

I'm 6 months old at D! Planning early promotion next year.. counselor and pm both are backing me.. I need to go to India for at least 4 weeks in Dec ... most probably would be rolling off from current project by then .. would this vacation hurt my promotion chances coz of utilization etc?

Question for BAH - are you able to expense taxi/uber for after hour safety from your holiday event to home? I know most companies let you and so does Deloitte. Asking for a Booz friend.

I wonder, why everyone is not applying for FAANG and they’re happy with startups or other companies? (Not talking about who are not able to clear the interviews )

Think they'll mind me taking PTO this week?

What is the firm doing about retention/turnover? Any discussion about improving benefits? 401k match? Pto?

Hi fishes,

Trust everyone is well !
I'm actively looking for a suitable opportunity ( Senior QA Automation Tester) in Singapore which can provide Visa sponsorship as well.
By any chance, does anyone have references in Singapore? I would be available immediately to join the organisation.

References will play an important role in the case of Foreigners in Singapore.
Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have a similar experience? I interviewed with recruiters from two of "Big 4". Both interviews went well, and I was told the recruiters will submit my resume to the partners and senior managers for the next interviews. 3 weeks later, I received the rejection letters without the next interview. 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.

Hi there! I interview for a position with a planned Parenthood this week for a role as Special Events Manager to oversee their fundraising department. Because most of my work and experience has been in freelance. I’m having a hard time figuring out what my work experience translates to in a Salary position. Therefore, I wonder what my base pay should be. Does anyone have any experience in the role?

Does anyone else here do non-profit consulting or volunteering on top of their full-time job? How are you balancing the two? Could use some advice or help. Thanks!

Hi all!

Managers and Directors: as a consultant, how do I get your ear? I’m talking about a serious consideration for services, not just a post to like and move on. Trying to figure out why interest level seems stuck on social media for fleeting moments. Thanks!
