Are upward feedback actuallly anonymous? 🤔

Heard from I2N(intern to next) that return offers would be delivered the next week of the last date. But also saw in Reddit that it would be verbally delivered from your pml on the last week.

Is the one i saw from Reddit still in practice? Or did it change from this season?

Wanted to know before I leave bc i believe it would feel a bit weird not knowing whether i will see my team again or not.

How does it feel working at rich kid daycare doing absolutely nothing to improve anyone’s lives but your little bubble’s? I would hate myself! But then again, I am a thinking human, not the offspring of someone who’s taking their frustration out on the world. Hope you kick rocks!

Hey all,

Looking to find UK grads starting at KPMG in 2026! Please do comment or message me privately.

Forgive my typo in the title - I meant ‘The KPMG HR’

For context: I cleared four rounds of interview for a non-technical role and the HR ghosted me despite me following up on a closure. So I sent a rejection email to the HR who was connected with me letting them know that I was no longer interested in the role highlighting how I was not keen to work in a culture that does not foster honest and open communication.
Five minutes after I sent the email the HR frantically called back - whose call I didn’t pick up. I stand by my word! I would rather not have a job than to work in a toxic environment that wouldn’t treat its prospective employees well. I truly believe the interview process is the biggest showcase of a company’s culture!
It was such a reverse uno moment and a much needed message to the recruitment community that just because someone is looking for a job it doesn’t make that person unworthy!
Protect your self worth and send a rejection email to all the ‘ghosting’ HR out there!

Accepted an offer and wondering since there is a lot of negativity in posts here. But maybe that is from client facing or outside of US. Not sure if I should mention the organization for privacy. It is WFH, full-time salaried position, internal facing only, around mid-level or senior management level. I know it probably depends a lot on the leader and department but overall, curious how it is.

Work-life-balance? Culture? Leaders? Benefits? (They seem okay), chances to move up? Etc?

Hello I am currently a student college study finance. I was invited to go to a baseball game with some university alumni that work at KPMG and other KPMG partners. I’m not sure what to expect and would like some help on what to do in the situation. I don’t know whether to treat this like a casual event or a networking event. And what are some things that I could talk to them about? I just don’t want to come off as transactional

I’m starting at KPMG on a Monday, and I noticed on the payroll calendar that payday is the Friday at the end of my first week.

I know KPMG pays biweekly, and I’m a salaried employee. Does anyone know if I would get my first paycheck at the end of my first week (friday payday), since i’im joining at the end of a pay period? Or would it come after 2 weeks of working?

Just trying to figure out what to expect. Thanks!

Anyone else struggling to use copilot to make decent slides?

I can’t seem for the life of me to be able to create any decent decks when using it. My firm has just rolled out access to us and everyone is struggling to use it.

Does anyone have any tips on how to actually use it better?

I’m an MIS student considering Big 4 consulting after graduation, and I’m trying to separate reality from Reddit.

A lot of the posts I see make consulting sound absolutely miserable, with constant 60-80 hour weeks, burnout, and no work-life balance. But I’ve also heard that people are much more likely to post when they’re unhappy, so Reddit can sometimes give a skewed perspective.

For those who have actually worked in Big 4 consulting, how accurate are the horror stories? Are people exaggerating, or is it really that bad?
I know a lot of it is project, team, and client dependent, but what were your typical hours as an analyst/consultant? Did you feel the experience, learning, and exit opportunities were worth the tradeoff?

One thing I’ve heard is that a lot of consulting hours are meetings, and the actual deliverable work may only take a few hours, while others make it sound like you’re working nonstop. I’m curious what the reality is.

Would love to hear perspectives from people who stayed, left, or exited into industry.

I am scheduled to join as Associate Director at KGS India in two weeks. Could you please advise on the timeline for laptop allocation for new joiners? Additionally, is it possible to request a MacBook instead of a Windows laptop, and should I email HR in advance regarding this preference?

I’ve seen a lot of conflicting information online, so I wanted to hear from people who are actually in consulting.

For those of you who are analysts or recently started your career, what are your typical weekly hours?

Also, what does your day-to-day work actually look like? I’m especially interested in tech consulting, but I’d love to hear from anyone in consulting.

I’m trying to get a realistic picture of what to expect before recruiting. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I recently graduated from UT Dallas with a Master’s in Information Technology & Management, and I’m currently looking for full-time opportunities in the U.S.

I’m mainly targeting Analyst, Strategy, Business Operations, Marketing, and Growth-related roles. I’ve been applying, networking on LinkedIn, reaching out to recruiters, and tailoring my resume, but the current market has been challenging.

For those who recently landed a job, especially international students, what worked best for you? Did referrals, networking, startups, staffing agencies, or high-volume applications help more?

Also, if anyone is hiring, knows of open roles, or would be willing to refer/help me land an opportunity, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance for any advice or support!

Hello,
I took ISC CPA exam in April and scored 69. During the exam, I noticed many of the MCQs and simulations were not covered in Beckers. My Becker access has now expired, and I’m wondering whether I should renew it or purchase another review course instead.

Has anyone had a similar experience? If so, which review course would you recommend for ISC? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

did anyone not receive their paycheck today?

Hi everyone,

I recently left KGS (KPMG Global Services) after completing 4 years and 10 months of service. I have received my Full & Final settlement statement, but I do not see any gratuity amount mentioned or credited.

As per my understanding, employees who complete 4 years and 240 days may be eligible for gratuity under certain circumstances.

Since I have completed 4 years and 10 months, I wanted to check:

1. Has anyone from KGS/KPMG faced a similar situation?
2. Is gratuity processed separately from the F&F settlement?
3. Should I raise a query with HR/Payroll, and if yes, what would be the best way to approach it?

Any guidance or experiences would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!

anyone else still waiting on their paycheck today (Thursday)? It’s already 11 AM PST and I still haven’t received mine. Just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat or has any insight into what’s going on.
