I’m surprised there is any big client allowing travel to seattle. I’m based in Seattle, & everyone is working from home until the end of March (I’d be surprised if that didn’t get extended). MSFT, Amazon, Boeing (front office), Starbuck’s HQ, FB, Google - all WFH. University campuses are closed. Huge events postponed. Your firm would be crazy to fly people here right now.

Seattle - no chance in hell. Odds are that it’s everywhere by now.

SF - yes, but ask me again in a week.

As an sf resident, is it dramatically worse here than other places? Doesn’t feel like it to me at all.

Hello PwC AC Friends,

I have been on bench since I joined the firm 3 months ago. Now I have got project but still on bench. I have got mail regarding not raising snapshots because I was on bench so i didn't do anything except trainings and some learning. I don't have hours to raise snapshot for.

What shall I do in this case? I am very much worried that if i don't have any project hours to show, will they fire me or what actions are supposed to be taken ? Thanks.

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.
