What’s considered a good pension contribution as part of a benefits package?

Hi ,

Currently how is the bench situation in cognizant ? does it have project openings for Java+ Spring Boot + Microservices . Any new Joiners with similar skill set please share you experiences like how many days does it take to get assigned to the project with this skillset.

I have joining in Cognizant this month end, Please help me with the info.

My mood has been fluctuating so much lately. Some days (yesterday) I wake up feeling invincible and some days (today) want to hide myself the rest of the world and feel like nothing will ever get better. I’m trying to push myself to make plans with other ppl and am really self-conscious about it cuz I don’t want ppl to see me in low spirit.. any ideas on how to fix that?

Does experience in financial due diligence with Big4 ensure good future opportunities ? Also how good is it for an MBA finance considering the majority of crowd I have found being CA on LinkedIn..

TIA

Hello Fisher's,

Ive been practicing in TX for 2-3 years at a big law firm doing mostly bankruptcy work (and some trial) and looking to clerk at a bankruptcy court in SDNY/DDE/EDVA (I am well aware of how great the SDTX judges are but I am set on leaving Texas). Anyone familiar with how many apps these judges normally get or what makes candidates stand out? Are these judges generally not interested in someone who has practiced in a different market?

Hi fishes, what is the highest base (just to get an idea) i can expect from Uber for the post of Business Analyst aka Data Analytics specialist 3. Thank you!

Anyone watch the clock tick away and have this endless dread of the work day starting like me. When I wake up on weekdays I dread looking at the clock. During the day I mentally start counting down how much time is left on a 30 min break, on Sundays it’s a whole different story.

Any reviews about HCL UOB Project work, technology stack and wlb in this project? I have an offer from HCL? Need inputs on the wlb and job security in HCL

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.

Have an interview with PPMD in Deloitte UK lined up(tech consulting).Looking for advice from goods folks in the bowl.This is for Manager position.

Can anyone recommend a reliable handyman serving SW London? Some painting, correcting plumbing fixtures, fixing a few shelves etc. DM me pls!

Within my first year of Consulting, really struggling with the hours amongst other things. Spoken to a couple of people internally and the advice is to get on to projects with bigger budgets and therefore bigger teams/more support. I want to wait until I hit the one year mark before making a decision on whether Consulting is for me or not. Curious to hear from other experienced hires..how is/was your first year?

Has Bain London started rolling out interviews for Associate Consultant (Experienced hire)?

Anyone moved from consulting to an internal role? How did you find it. I’m fed up of consulting

I have recently left Big 4 Consulting few months ago (5+ YOE) and joined a boutique. I am not enjoying my role here - is it bad to leave after 6 months?

wondering if any consultants here have switched to IB? And if so, what’s the process for doing so!

Folks making more than £100K: How do you deal with the 60% effective tax rate on the 100-125K bracket? (HMRC gradually reduces your £12,750 personal tax-free allowance to £0.)

This is the first time it is happening to me. With one month to go until the end of the tax year, I'm thinking of making a one-off extra pension contribution next payroll.

Any other effective strategies with only one month to go?

Accenture vs ZS for WLB?
