Why don’t public accounting companies use Slack? I haven’t heard of any using it, whether it be Big 4 or regional. Is it a liability thing, i.e not wanting records of IMs being saved?

Probably records. The point of slack is saving messages so you can reference them later. KPMG here decided to disable the function in skype where it would save messages in outlook.

It is both records being saved, but more, records are saved outside on server that big 4 don’t have control on.

Also the reason why Microsoft teams is being rolled out to only a few parts of Deloitte and not tax and audit and most teams in consulting

PwC is moving to google chat soon, which is comparable to slack. Individual/direct IMs still won’t be saved longer than 24 hours though.

It’s a risk for the company. As something someone says as a joke can be twisted and manipulated in the case of an investigation

We use Skype and records are saved for 3 years on our serves. I know a person fired for inappropriate convos over Skype with a female coworker

So...
What to do? What to do?

Came back to school in August with a cruise ship still sitting on my stage. We walked away from Anything Goes the day after the sitzprobe because of the quarantine. Still taking the wind out of my sails.

We are here now, but not able to stage shows. Logic says, "Do a radio show!" Just not sure I want to subject the kids to the emptiness of that performance style given the Zoom life they've been living. The production of it could be fun though.

Thoughts?

I interviewed at KPMG on 11/14 and got a verbal offer the next day but since then waiting to hear from them. Been following up continuously but the partners are not replying it seems. In the meanwhile i have an offer from BT offering 90k for 4 yrs of experience which seems to be fair. I am just unsure whether to accept the offer as I was waiting for kpmg reply as I want B4 on my resume which apparently is a big deal. Is BT also good on resume for future employers ??

looking for referral to b4 consulting firms. recently let go from deloitte as part of current headcount reductions. any assistance is appreciated. please DM me, thanks

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)

I see news articles all the time about Big 4 entering the legal market. Has anyone heard of this? I’m curious to see if an attorney providing legal services while working at B4 will make the same as a big law associate. Could this be the end of the huge big law starting salary?

This years Google year review video will probably have a bill withers song as background music, have some Inspirational Kobe quote at the end, lots of zoom screens. What else am I missing?
