Hello Fishes,
Just need your help
I gave two rounds of interview on 7th and 8th April and there's no update from hiring manager till date.
I asked for an update once, shall I ask again?
What shall I ask?
I'm just so confuse, earlier use to receive update in a day or so but this is the longest wait.

Would anyone in PwC CMAAS around the NY area be open to chat about the job? Currently looking to apply and would like to hear more about the day to day.

Im going on two straight months of exercising regularly for the first time in my life! It’s amazing how positively it affects my mood + how I feel about myself. Hoping to keep it up once work picks up

What agencies have a good delivery department. Specifically one that does decent training? In my ten years in the industry I don't think I've worked anywhere where professional growth was a real thing

I miss my pre-2020 life sometimes. Even going into the office. Right now, it just feels like I live at work and it seems like it will be that way forever. 😔

Hi Negotiators !
As per current scenario, how much package tcs paying to lateral hires for 8-9 years experienced full stack developer?

Hi Fellow professionals,
I am eagerly looking for a job change but I don't want to limit myself to just Marketing (I have 3 years of experience in DM).
What are the other job options available for me without having to start all over again? What is a lucrative business/market/industry r.n.? I would love to work for Blockchain, Defi, AI, ML or even sustainability industry but I am open to other options.
Have any of you did something similar recently and are enjoying the new job change?

Hi Fishes, Can someone refer me, have the job id with me?

Is Online masters/certificate program worth it? I do not have a masters which is affecting my growth. Would an online /part time course be a better choice or an immersive 1 year experience has more value?

Any companies hiring full time remote? Experience +4 years mid tier IB Associate

Recently switch from a technology company to a big bank. I am extremely frustrated with the tech stack, the mentality of the tech teams, and the fact that software engineers are considered second class citizens.
I have plenty of time to do side projects, even a second job if possible.

Does it make sense to advertise my situation in order to get a second job where I can utilize my full potential? At this time I feel I don't want to pursue another job elsewhere.

Just curious. How many teachers in here have visible tattoos or piercings? What are your thoughts on teachers having them?

How much does a tax partner make at year 1, 5, and at level E? What is the typical defined benefit amount at the 10 year cliff? I’d like to know before committing my life.

ACCA and CPA qualifications. How useful are they in the line of consulting. I work in the M&A space focusing on FDD. Happy to have a chat to see what qualifications if any are actually useful in our line of work.

What local boards or groups are you an active member of? I am looking to broaden my influence outside of work, but slightly at a loss for opportunities. Where do I start? How does anyone start? Charlotte, if that helps.

What should I get my female partner as a Xmas present? We're pretty close, we talk everyday. I work all her projects (I'm also female) What's the best gift you've gotten?

Do all partners at same level get paid the same? I would imagine that the bonus based on sales + additional factors based on how the firm/practice/domain/sub-domain is doing accounts for the variable pay on top. Just curious as to how the constant aspect of the salary works when in partnership.

I saw you talk on this earlier but not directly so how does one go about (politely and diplomatically) trying to get out of / or away from a partner that s/he does not like working with?

Looking for inputs and insights into developing Executive Presence as an immigrant female. Any books, tutorials, live classes etc. that has helped anyone and willing to share? Also looking to hear what in your experience has been the reason that impedes the exec presence someone could potentially bring in a senior leadership setting.

What is a "good enough" reason to reach out to a partner at your firm? There is a partner at my firm in a completely different practice who comes from the same hometown as me (think ~5k population). I'm interested in hearing about his journey, but I don't want to do the type of work he does. Is it worth it for me to reach out?

CAREER ADVICE

I want to be promoted to manager in 1 or 2 years. I would like to make this point clear to my bosses, but in an ‘adult way’ (so not just running into the room and yelling ‘I want a promotion, because I deserve it’). I would like to make clear that I know the promotion must be earned and that I am willing to go the extra mile for that, but that I am serious about this.
How would you go about conveying this type of message?

Do you ask for staff to remove billed hours due to possible inefficiencies?

Have you heard of anyone who rose to partner/Director despite scoring below a 700 on the GMAT? If so, this would be evidence that EQ is more important than IQ in the long run for a consulting career.

Any advice for a newly promoted Partner? What is the one or two things you are glad you did or wish you had done when you first made Partner (financially, with the team, with your clients, or personally in some way)? TIA!!

My lead (a Principle) is very strict and dictates a lot of extra miles; definitely more than other managers. I like working for him and the work; hence, I’m putting a lot of free time into it (cont’d)

MBB partners, what impresses you the most about a candidate when you interview them?

EY MD 🐠 , I’m a newly promoted MD and have a few questions on comp timelines I’m hoping you can help answer since there have been 0 comms to MDs on this 😔:
1. I’ve heard we don’t find out new salaries until mid-Aug with others below PP. Given others new comp doesn’t start until Oct, do you know if that’s when our new comp starts too even though our new titles are already effective?
2. Does the MD rating/comp timeline continue to follow the timeline for others going forward after the first yr?
