You should know how you performed through your interaction with managers during the project and not wait till year end review

most cases of PIP people i see are perfectly justified though. **** quality work and skiving through the year. would have been insane for them to promote.

say no headcount or manager dont like you or client **** so cannot wrap up job in time i believe, but tough??? guy better pray he was applying to jobs while he was coasting

Guy 31, Girl 29 assuming same batch by M3 can buy a 2.5m house assuming they save 50% every month. Bonus is excluded from calc to cover tax and other expense. If you jump out of Big4, pay bump again to 10k+ even more comfy.

But ofc, this is assuming u dont have other special expenses/loans. We are talking about a couple with no other obligations just working towards buying as house.

If you push your budget down abit, by M1 you can actually already afford a condo. 1.9 can get you a pretty good 3BR in a less central region.

Tough not as in physical or mentally difficult

Tough as in taxing, long hours, a lot to do.

I'm sure there are many out there stretching their limits. Would be fun to see how this works out during a downturn

anyone know if any of the big 4 started interview for 2024 graduate for advisory/deals?

it's a salary forum, why not just share the figures. the paygrade is standard anyway, no chance of outing your identity

It doesn’t benefit me to share.

And I still have to endure negative remarks targeting me as though I’m the one who came up with it.
