Not sure if anyone posting is actually an employee, but I’ve enjoyed the people I worked with and also think the office culture is great. That’s my experience though

What's your title?
How long have you been with the firm?

Yeah I’m self proclaimed in the top 10% of having problems with LEK but having out by six once a week M-Th and protected weekends is pretty good. Culture in office was pretty great for Associates but like non existent since wfh

Thanks

I received an offer for 80k to work as a desktop engineer for TCS at one of their client’s locations. However, I have seen poor reviews for working at TCS and I’d like to get some feedback from anyone currently or had previously worked for that company. What is the environment like and has anyone been in a situation where the contract with TCS and the client ended and had trouble with TCS finding them a new role at the same pay?

Hi Fishes, Please help me decide on which offer is good:

PWC AC: 22.5 fix + 2.5 JB+ variable as per policy
Globant: 26.5 fix Yoe: 5.10

Please advise in terms of WLB, Quality of work, career progression, other benefits.

I had two rounds of discussion (more than a month ago) and the recruiter informed me that they’ll be scheduling the HR discussion and then be rolling out the offer.

Hi I am an Icwa with 15 years experience in accounts.i can do tally finalization tds and gst.I am looking for a job change

Can you name a firm (preferably NY office) that lets its associates work from a different country with no issues? The mid-size firm I’m currently at has been very flexible during covid but I’m looking to change firm (biglaw). Since my family is abroad I find it extremely valuable to be able to do this (I did this even before covid for a couple of weeks, twice a year). I’ve heard firms like Latham and Paul Weiss don’t allow it for tax reasons.
