I have more than 5 years of experience in the U.S Healthcare as an Accounts Receivable (AR). I have joined TCS in the month of December 2021, Now the process got Ramp down and I am moved to RMG, Since a long time I was planning to switch to IT, Right now preparing for cloud computing in AWS. I got a call for PMO Lead, HR Talent Development, IT Service Desk. I really don't know what to do, I am really learning hard and about to have Solution Architect Certification. Any suggestions..??

Bain vs BCG. Both are associate level for the Boston office. Would really appreciate insights on the following:
1. Industry expertise/ease of getting staffed into industry of choice: hoping to do more CPG/retail and stay away from healthcare/education
2. Support for intl employees: both companies claim that they’ll transfer you to a foreign office for a year and then back to the US office, should h1b fall through. Is that true?
See comment below for more thoughts…

What is the most important part of the compensation package to you besides base pay and why? Is it bonus, 401k match/vesting, PTO, Paternity/Maternity leave, healthcare, etc?

Guys/Gals I am offered a job with VOIS and I do not have much clarity about the flexi allowance, LTA and Target Incentive components in the CTC. how these would be paid

Also little confused with how flexi allowance can be effectively used for tax benefits (Flexi has NPS, Meal coupon, car lease allowance and management balancing factor)

Hoping to get my PHR in the next year or so. Outside of employer reimbursement, are there other opportunities for this to get funded? I know SHRM Foundation offers scholarships for the CP, but I am looking for PHR specific help. Thank you! :)

Where can I find a financial coach/planner that doesn’t charge $1500/yr? I’m not looking for a full on advisor to manage my money, just someone to help me look through my investments (401k, HSA) and other accounts to make sure I’m taking advantage of the right opportunities and have the right allocations & risk assigned. No trolls please. I’m somewhat new to this and come from a very financially-illiterate family, so I’m trying to get started on the right foot. Thank you!

Interviewing with RGP next week, thinking it’s a similar model to Siegfried. BUT they don’t pay you while on the bench, benefits are covered still. Should that be a deal breaker? Company has great reviews on Glassdoor and Indeed otherwise.

Does anyone have any experience of handing in their notice whilst on maternity leave? I’m tenured so have a long notice period so would rather do it and not have to return to my current role. Was also wondering on the likelihood of work letting me negotiate a shorter notice period given I’m not in the office anyway - uk based for context

To confirm I read this right, is it true that dual degree programs (such as Kellogg MMM) have a 3 year reimbursement timeline vs the normal 2?

Hey guys , what's the work life balance like in Accenture? I have an offer for senior manage role in procurement technology/consulting team source to pay. And what are the benefits will be like? Is work from home allowed like if I work from Spain or Belgium for a week etc instead of UK.

Hello fishes,
My wife is having offer from Ey gds.

Can anyone help let me know maternity benefits or plans in EY, as no where any policy or details are mentioned in offer letter.

Don't know if it's dumb, but thinking from a longer perspective knowing people calls EY as pressure chamber.

Would you ever go backwards in pay to gain flexibility, autonomy, and work life balance? If so, how big of a cut… assuming benefits are comparable.

Should I fully fund my ROTH IRA first before making 401k contributions? Side note: my company does not match and I only contribute ~$150 a paycheck.

What’s the career progression like at Platinion compared to BCG core? Do Platinion professionals have the same benefits, treatment, etc. within the firm?

How are benefits/YoY hikes and bonus payout at JPMC? Asking for an associate role in testing

I maxed out my traditional 401k for the first time this year but can do after-tax contributions and in plan Roth conversions. I did this starting last paycheck and converted immediately but by the time it processed had gone up 2% so a bit will be taxable.

Should I change investment direction to the money market fund and then just transfer from there to desired funds after the in plan rollover settles?

So if I press cancel instead of reschedule on prometric does that mean I can still reschedule it again as long as that NTS isn’t expired?

Does anyone know who’s handling the Moët Hennessy pitch?

Hi guys, I joined as a fresher in july and still I didnt get any project. I am shadowing a senior on a project. Last month I had mailed my manager asking for project ,he said he will get back to me with a suitable opportunity. I am still waiting and on non billable code but I can't wait anymore. How do I politely follow up with my manager again asking him to allign me on some project? or should I directly ask him if there are projects or not. (Company -Deloitte)

What would you do? Worked at a small family law firm for 8 months. Hated the work and I didn’t get trained at all. I was poached by an immigration firm (I never wanted to do immigration but needed a way out). Fast forward 4 months, I love immigration but HATE the toxic work environment. I feel like a failure for ending up in another situation that’s not good for my mental health, which sucks because I really really love the work. Am I being too ambitious for wanting to go solo in one year?

Can someone please explain the infatuation with EBITDA? I understand rule 40 as a quick check for SaaS only, EBIT as a form of measuring operations, and things like G&A as a % of revenue because Gross isn't always comparable.

But I don't understand why people are getting away with using EBITDA as a guage of profitability in capital intensive industries. If you own a factory you can't just say yeah I'm profitable if you strip out the assets and replacement costs in the factory.

Any current or past Verily employees here that can speak to culture?

Parenting is hard. Parenting toddlers is hard. It’s the same all over the world: early mornings, late nights, sleep training, sleep regressions, little people with big feelings, etc. It’s a blessing and a joy, but omg, it’s exhausting. I know I’m not alone, just looking to commiserate. I also have a three month old. Love them both to pieces, just looking forward to sleeping through the whole night again. I’m not ungrateful, just looking for a shared experience with others, and advice from those

I am a bit guilty that I can’t be as proactive about building the church (serving, committing to various church meetngs, etc) & my Christian friends don’t get the life of a consultant >.< quick vent

Anyone else beat themselves up over small mistakes at work. I’ll become obsessive about how stupid I am and how I think I’m going to get fired or never get promoted

This is PSA: People please, do NOT solo climb out here. It is dangerous and I've heard too many horror stories lately. Be safe out here!

In the last PDM town hall, they said they were going to lower utilization targets for those that work on projects with capped hours. For those people, have you seen your utilization target lowered? I haven’t seen shit change for me.

Thoughts on Slalom?

Good morning, Anyone know the average pay of an Compliance Auditor II at for a Hospital and Clinics?

Desi Fish - I know I am just venting here everyday. It’s been two weeks since she broke up with me - I have just been literally crying, drinking, not sleeping, cursing myself. All I can see are her dreams - and I see her everywhere. I am not able to work. I just don’t know what to do. I will likely lose my job as a result. Any suggestions? 🙏 please help 😭

If I’ve filed my I-485 this month and my final action date remains current, when will I actually get the green card? The lawyers at Fragomen are saying 15-18 months that just seems insanely long…

I currently work as an SAP consultant with about 1 year of experience now. I am interested in changing my career path to software engineering. I’ve been doing research on how much the software industry will grow and I want to make my way into tech. I have a BS in MIS but need to work on my coding skills and gain experience. How do people feel about coding bootcamps? Some universities such as UCI and CSULB have full stack and software dev bootcamps. Is this a good way to break into software?

Hi! I’m at my first bdr role in tech, the company is small and I think daily kpi are a bit hard. What do you think about 100 e-mails, 25 conversations on the phone (not calls, conversation), 30 connection on LinkedIn, 30 messages on LinkedIn? What are usually kpi in companies like salesforce for example?
Thanks

I applied for a job at a WPP agency. It looks like they’re going to send an offer my way. However I definitely stretched the truth in my resume. In the background check what do they look for? Do they verify if you graduate college, your employment or is it just criminal and sexual misconduct?
