What are the exact dates of the winter 2026 shutdown? Starting as a new associate soon.

I’m a Senior Associate in Advisory and just found out informally today that I made promotion to Manager, which should be formally announced later this week. I understand there are a variety of factors that influence compensation increases (e.g., COL, current salary, performance of my business line, etc.), but generally speaking what kind of increase in salary/compensation can I expect when moving up to Manager?

For context, I'm an accounting major on the CPA track who will be graduating this December with my 150 credits. I completed two internships only with KPMG: the Embark Scholars Internship in 2025 and the Advisory consulting in Non-Financial Risk this summer. I realized during the second internship that advisory wasn't really what I wanted. I originally wanted to pursue forensic accounting, and I'd much rather do traditional accounting such as tax or audit work.

I also didn't receive a full-time offer from KPMG. From talking to other interns, it seems like return offers have been pretty competitive this year, even for some people who received good feedback.

I'm now considering applying for entry-level Audit Assurance or Tax positions at PwC and EY.

For anyone who has been in a similar situation: Did you intern at one Big 4 but ultimately apply to another Big 4 for your full-time role? How did recruiters view the fact that you had interned elsewhere? What were some questions you came across during the interviews?

I'd especially appreciate hearing from people who successfully made that transition.

Hi folks,

I have one question around can we use copilot in company portal and can upload the PPT or a word document to summarize it? Also, can we upload the ongoing project document to get a crux in terms of what is happening around the project?

The reason why i’m asking is this because in the workshop happened in the office its been told that you can use it since copilot is designed that it remains under the KPMG umbrella but wanted to understand more on this.

Guys your revert on this would really be greatful for me as i’m in KGS so wanted to understand the norms here.

Hey! I was an audit intern this summer in the NYC office. I had all positive reviews (expectations met) from engagements, and my PML and TC liked me. My PML and associates on engagements told me I should be good for an offer and not to worry. PML called me two weeks after I ended on 7/31 to tell me I didn't get the offer. The only reasoning they could give is headcount, which is mainly because of GDC and AI.

Any interns going through the same? Anyone in NYC office hear abt this? What % of interns in audit got a return?

What do I do for my next steps?

On the audits of Mark Walter’s insurance companies. This could get interesting 🤔

Has anyone heard anything about promotions yet? Or know when we should hear by?

Applied for KPMG Australia audit role as assistant manager- how much is it roughly?

Are there still remote roles or does kpmg have a minimum required number of in office days? Asking for toronto

Like the title mentions. OL says 24th joining but still haven’t got the joining details and BGV email.

If any of you have gone through the process let me know when do they usually revert back.

Thanks!

Pessoal, tudo bem?

Avancei no processo seletivo para o programa de Trainee (STARTERS) na área de Auditoria da KPMG e gostaria de saber algumas coisas de quem já passou por lá ou conhece a rotina de Big Four por dentro.

Carga horária: É verdade o mito das 12h-15h de trabalho por dia na época de pico? Como fica o banco de horas/horas extras na prática?

Viagens: O pessoal da auditoria viaja muito para inventário e campo nas regionais (especialmente no sul)?

Progressão e Salário: Como funciona a evolução de carreira/salário nos primeiros anos (Trainee -> Assistente -> Sênior)? O aprendizado realmente compensa a correria inicial?

Modelo de trabalho / Presencial x Híbrido: Como está a rotina de escritório hoje em dia para quem atua na auditoria? Costuma ser modelo híbrido, 100% presencial ou depende muito da alocação nos clientes?

desde ja, agrade muito!

I’ve signed a conditional offer for a Risk role at KPMG Canada and have a start date, but my background check is still pending, including the credit check.

I have some old credit card collections from when I was a student. I’m currently on payment plans and actively paying them down.

For anyone with experience at KPMG Canada, especially in Risk/Advisory:

Would you wait until the background check is fully cleared before giving notice at your current job? Is it normal for KPMG to give a start date before the screening is complete?

I cleared all three rounds after that I got a mail to fill application on ORC but after that no response,it's been a week,I reverted back on mail but still no updates i didn't even receive a call from hr.

It was for Uk clr audit associate 1 role in gurgaon

Is there any hr on this sub who can help with this?

I put in my notice for after busy season. About to submit my resignation in CORE.

I joined as an experienced hire and while my first year was good. I was switched to a new PML that I would politely say is below her peers when it comes to her role. Now that I’m leaving, would an exit interview be a good platform to air my documented grievances or would it not be worth the effort?

I heard some people from Boston got their return offers... I haven't even gotten the link to apply yet. was wondering if anyone else had any updates in their office

I’m curious if anyone has ever handed in their two week notice and then been begged to stay. If so, was it a good idea and did anything change?

I had applied to 2-3 entry level vacancies on KGS around 3 weeks ago via referral. The application status says Recruiter to screen/ to be reviewed since the day I applied. Is there any hope at all?
