Can someone switch to FP&A or IB from here?

Working as CAL Manager with Accenture S&C India. Offered ~GBP 76.5K (fixed plus flexi) at Manager Grade by Deloitte London.

Prior to Accenture, I have already served as S&O Manager with Deloitte India for ~1.5 yrs - so this would be my second stint with Deloitte as Manager "again".

2 questions:
1. Should I ask for Senior Mgr (AD) grade - to which they have already said NO
2. Is GBP 76.5K sitting at the lower end of M grade in Deloitte UK? What should be a good expectation for the role

Juicy news. Kolkata AC. My RL told that he will schedule a catch-up today/tomorrow to discuss year end ratings. RL have received the performance ratings

Hello Fishes,

Recently received offer from Oracle Solution Services India Private Limited and base location mentioned is Bangalore. Just was curious to know whether we have to go to office physically for the joining or we can join virtually as I am not in Bangalore. Also is this offer different from Oracle or is it a branch within Oracle.

TIA

I have a confession to make.

What are your expenses/time horror stories? Has anyone gotten fired in relation to expenses? Compensation withheld?

How painful was it to watch the situation in Charlottesville? I'm beginning to think that hatred is a unending part of American culture. No solution. No kumbaya. Just is what it is.

I have 2-3 years of experience as a PO, pretty early stage in my career.
Please help me compare tech roles in big 4 vs financial services in terms of culture, work life balance etc?

Hi all,

I am a freelance strategist (mid-level), and I am looking for projects that I can support.
I can work remotely, and I appreciate any leads.
Thanks!

Happy fourth everyone. Mmmerica the beautiful.

Fun question: what are the best and the worst wedding trends you’ve seen?

What are some of your favorite science podcasts to listen to?

The most interesting research topic you've come across....?

Recently learned that the whole “humans only use 10% of their brain” thing is not true at all. What are some other common science misconceptions?

What's the point of all this research if nobody ever reads it?

I recently heard someone say that: "Wokeism is destroying academia." Curious everyone's thoughts on this...

Science question: is there an explanation for why some amide coupling reagent work better than others? Trying to find an explanation for some results I'm seeing in my research but I'm not finding anything.

A close family member recently passed away and my grief is reflected in my work. I’ve started making careless mistakes, I can’t focus, and I find it impossible to put in a full day’s work. How long did grief impact your research?

I have one month left to finish my thesis. I know, I’ve screwed up. Anxiety got the best of me. Is there still hope?

Can anyone give me their honest opinion on working at Eli Lilly, the Indy site? I have a few coworkers that have worked there in the past but no one recently. I’m currently being recruited pretty seriously for a in-vivo technician position in the auto-immune team, but I already have a job lined up at Envigo as a small animal sx tech. Salaries would be comparable (Lilly would most likely be a little more with bonuses), but if the culture sucks, I’d hate to burn a bridge with Envigo.

Need help settling a debate with my friend. She thinks I will have an easier time getting research grants because I'm male. I think it's the opposite because companies are trying to change the status quo and get more women involved (which I'm not complaining about... please don't attack me.) Which one of us is more right than the other? I'm interested in getting as many viewpoints as possible, whether or not they agree with me or with her. Thanks!!!

Do you ever conduct the hiring process for a research project? What do you look for in potential hires?

Any science teachers here?! Dissecting frogs in eighth grade made me want to learn everything I could about anatomy, that's why I'm a science teacher, and it's not the same to teach kids online as it is in person

I have an interview for a technical writer position in the chemistry field. Coming from a lab based chemistry role I'm use to getting technical questions about my lab experience. With this role I'm interviewing for being office based, I'm not sure what questions they may ask. What interview questions can I expect for a technical writing position?

I've submitted my latest paper to the largest journal in my field, but it's taking forever for them to review it. I feel like they're just stalling me because they don't want to publish it. But if they don't publish it, then who will? And what happens if someone else finds out about my findings before they're published?

I've never understood this, why do there seem to be more female librarians than male?

What made you realize that science was the right path for you?

It is elementary that the development of a theory is based on completed and finished works or theories with a sufficient basis to be possible. But what were guys like Plato based on? He could only rely on what his mind told him. It must have been very difficult but at the same time, they were very brave in defending their ideas.

I’m recently finished my PhD and the transition to full time work has been overwhelming. How was the transition for you?

I currently work at a large research institution and am in the process of getting retroactively reclassified to a new title (Long story but my PI is cheap and routinely pays ppl the bare minimum so now the Union is helping me w/ a retro reclass.) Reclass can take 2 - 6 months to process. Meanwhile, I am interviewing for industry job. If I get an industry job, what do I do if my reclass isn’t processed yet? I want the title and the money owed which may be about $15000- 20000.

I recently had a student who complained that his professor did not use enough citations in his academic papers. I was wondering, are we still allowed to cite our own writings in our papers these days? Or is it just a thing of the past?
