You're reward being promoted to senior = discover. Not much of a reward when constantly hounded about how you spend your time out there, and being required to do things. I'll take the 5k bonus instead

Oh, on the very first day one of my friends had her director claim to have never heard of Discover and ask if she could have her work laptop shipped to her at the hotel since she'd left it at home, since...you know...that's kind of the whole point of Discover. I thought that was completely ridiculous. My team was good about leaving me alone, though.

Wait! We get the $5K bonus and something similar to your Discovery. You guys only get one? Is that how it is at KPMG and Deloitte too?

Eh. Discover was fun. Nice resort. No real requirement to attend most events. Open bars. Free flights to and from the left coast. I stayed on and took an extra week of vacation in LA too.

Since I would never treat myself to stay at a resort like that out of pocket. Yeah, I'll take the beautiful scenery, and lounging by the pool while skipping the full-group events, and expensing margaritas all afternoon on my corporate card. The hour or so a day I had to sit in small group therapy and come up with some bullshit about goals was a small price to pay.

I think the 5k was also a great milestone reward.

So you'd take that over a 5k+ bonus and enjoyed telling your story of what inspired you ?

Would you be able to bring someone to the resort? Since I heard you don't have to share rooms during discover

P2- Technically, pretty sure that was against the rules.... Dunno how rigid in reality but I wouldn't want to test their flexibility.

@pwc1 yea I'll take the money, and use my travel points to go somewhere nice.

@EY2, It's not? My understanding was that it was.

Discover = resort. New senior program is just another training basically. It was no different than core assurance training

It was 2 nights in a hotel in Dallas or Atlanta and there was little to no free time. It was more soft skills training, but could've lived without it.

Discover is a great milestone reward when compared to what other firms are doing (or rather aren't doing). I'm glad I experienced it before coming over to EY.

Got a 30% salary bump, via an offer for Senior Consultant S&O from Deloitte. Currently underpaid at EY Advisory. I'm MBA and this year is my promotion year at EY for Manager. What to do? Get demoted and move to D? Or counter at EY? Even if EY matches my salary, and promote me to Manager, I will be an EY Manager with a Deloitte SC salary, and probably won't be able to go to D in the future. What do you think? I have built up a good relationship with my Partner and SMs at EY though.

Hi Guys,

I am a ReactJS developer (frontend) with 3.8 years of experience. I currently switched my company but they don't have an opening for ReactJS and kept me on a bench for 3 months and they are telling me now to learn AEM technology and work on the AEM project for now.
They hired me for a package of 16 LPA.
So my questions are is it a good technology to learn? Should I say yes and have a career in it?
Will I get the same package like ReactJS or less? What is future if compared with React?

I’ve been working at a rather prestigious midsized firm in a big city for almost a year and a half now. I have been having a lot of trouble picking up work from senior partners. We are required to bill at least 150 hours per month to meet our requirement. My months are typically only 110-130 hours. It seems like the senior partners already have their “go to” associate for things. Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can increase my workload? I reach out for work pretty much weekly.
