Would you take a pay cut from $205K base to $180K base to go fully remote + can live wherever (from 2 days in office in NYC).

I spent some time at Deloitte and hated it for many reasons. I have an offer on the table with KPMG and wondering if the culture there is any better. Any insights from someone who worked at both?

Just saw a post from Fortune Magazkne that Gen Z is getting fired because they don’t have good communication skills (how to run a meeting, how to write a formal email etc.), don’t show initiative (ask questions, volunteer for projects) and don’t maintain professionalism (show up on time, miss deadlines etc.). Sounds like the boomers are getting grumpy, but as a millennial, this doesn’t surprise me. Curious if anyone thinks work culture will eventually adjust or if you’re seeing this.

I was just terminated from the deals group. I’ve let myself go in terms of my health and weight. I figured I’d use a good chunk of the severance time to get in shape over the summer and focus on my health but my friends and family are pushing me to find a way to juggle both and call me crazy for taking my time. My plan is to build a morning routine of fitness and work that into my new schedule when I’m rehired. Any thoughts ?

PTO doesn't count against utilization
Yes. Your base is likely 2080 or 2040 hours.
No. PTO time is removed from the denominator of (chargeable hours/total hours).
The impact of PTO depends on what you're firm measures: FULL UTILIZATION or EFFECTIVE UTILIZATION. Full utilization will always use 2080 hours add the available hours (or something close). Effective utilization subtracts vacation, holidays, sick leave, paternity leave, etc from the available hours.
Yes! You should never go on leave. Ever.
