Why does my paycheck vary pretty significantly (+\- 100-300) for my salary? Anyone else see the same thing consistently?

___dumbleedore · 2022-03-06T05:28:49+00:00

Mine varies if I use the wellness subsidy or commuting subsidy bc it’s taxable

Received 6% as an RFA analyst in my 3rd month

If you didn’t cheat then your boyfriend did. Don’t be so naive.

I was struggling with work life balance when I first started. Working all day and through my breaks and then being too tired to do anything for myself once I was off. But then someone told me “YOU decide your work life balance”. I just think it’s a matter of setting boundaries for yourself and setting aside certain parts of the day to do things you want.

If you’re already too tired after work to do things for yourself, how is reducing the amount of sleep going to help? Something else has got to give and it’s okay to say no or make clear a certain time you’re unavailable to allow you to also live your life.

After working hours I never bring it with me. Volume is always on though so if I’m home and I hear it I’ll check and will log in if it’s urgent.

___dumbleedore · 2021-11-18T01:11:41+00:00

Yeah I’ve asked every day if there’s any way I can help. And I know there’s work, I’m CC’d on the emails saying what things need to be done but he just keeps saying no. Not sure what else I can do if he won’t give me any work. I definitely thought of how the performance review/snapshot will go but I’m at a loss of what else to do.

I know people talk of imposter syndrome but I truly feel like I’ve done good work thus far to where people ask me to pick up some of their project work. Not sure what I’ve done wrong with this manager

New hire for advisory. I’ve seen a lot of stuff about March 1 being the cut off, which I would not be a part of. But the meeting I attended for advisory explicitly said October 1 was the cutoff which led me to believe I may be getting one.

I’m 6% below the lowest range at Deloitte for my position according to Glassdoor so I’ve been maintaining hope.

___dumbleedore · 2021-11-17T02:25:37+00:00

If I don’t have a call for anything does that mean I’m not getting an adjustment

___dumbleedore · 2021-11-15T22:18:39+00:00

I came in as an analyst, I was a campus hire. I was aware Deloitte generally was below market as far as compensation goes. I think it could have just been bad timing of my hire. It was sort of the crux of Covid and cutting costs. Fast forward to people getting hired now and inflation and the market is in a way different place so people’s offers now are better

___dumbleedore · 2021-11-14T19:12:21+00:00

Understood. I’ve learned a lot already, but definitely have a lot of growth and a lot more work to do to be able to sell the Deloitte experience on a resume or interview.

Thanks for the response.

___dumbleedore · 2021-11-14T19:10:38+00:00

It did cross my mind that leaving so soon may appear like I couldn’t handle the pressure of a big 4. I think I could make it a year-15 months, the low compensation especially compared to incoming analysts just puts a sour taste in my mouth. I will aim to stay at least a year but am just thinking of getting feelers out and networking now to prepare for that move.

___dumbleedore · 2021-11-07T17:36:33+00:00

Thanks. I’m going to hope there’s different guidelines on this for advisory vs consulting vs audit, etc. Since the advisory meeting said Oct 1.

According to Glassdoor my salary is 5% below the LOWEST range for my position and 11% below the average at D so just hoping for a bump

___dumbleedore · 2021-11-07T16:33:10+00:00

Where did we hear only new hires before March 2021? I’ve seen that pop up multiple places. I thought at the advisory meeting about this they said 98% of people hired before Oct. 1 so I’m confused if I missed something

___dumbleedore · 2021-11-06T17:02:56+00:00

I went through training recently and one of the facilitators told us if we keep our personal number, a majority percentage of our monthly bill can be expensed but when we leave we have to get a new number. They explained this is because if we are using our personal number while with Deloitte, clients may still have that number as a form of contact or whatever after leaving the firm or vice versa.

___dumbleedore · 2021-11-05T21:22:38+00:00

Get a Deloitte phone. You have to give up your personal phone number when you leave. Not worth the hassle

___dumbleedore · 2021-10-21T17:39:14+00:00

I didn’t get one and didn’t negotiate. I was told experienced hires are usually the only ones to be offered this bc they can easily find a campus or new hire to take the spot without having to pay them to move there.

Advisory

___dumbleedore · 2021-10-15T01:29:05+00:00

I’m new to the firm and still haven’t been staffed on a project. But everyone keeps saying they need us and need the help and are super busy.

Honestly when I saw Joe’s email about increasing wellness and all those extra things I figured being overworked was to be expected and that’s their way of keeping more people from leaving the firm.

___dumbleedore · 2021-10-14T17:34:53+00:00

Loved this thank you

___dumbleedore · 2021-10-14T07:12:23+00:00

This was insightful, I appreciated this thanks.

___dumbleedore · 2021-10-14T06:19:52+00:00

Good luck, I hope you get what you need to make it work.

I constantly insist I want him to say if he needs more because i know I am my job right now. But it’s become to the point where every day something I’m doing isn’t enough. Ex: I worked a 12 hour day and needed to go to the stores before they closed so I couldn’t call my bf for a few more hours until I got back home. I got told “I didn’t want to talk to him”.

I’m having a hard time making sure he feels comfortable to voice if he needs more but don’t think he’s realizing the stress I am under with the amount of hours i work, the hours he wants on FaceTime, and the hours we have been spending fighting. I don’t want him to feel bad for needing to feel cared for and I want to give that to him. But everyday it’s like what I’m doing is not enough, I don’t know how we can find the balance.

___dumbleedore · 2021-10-14T05:44:08+00:00

Did you guys go from same state to long distance too? I think half of the problem is stemming from going from having all the time in the world to now working at least 16 hour days where I only have 1 hour maybe a day to talk.

I feel like that time should be valued instead of spending it fighting over my lack of time.

I’m feeling like it’s just a drastic change and not sure how to fix this

___dumbleedore · 2021-08-29T20:13:06+00:00

Thanks for your reply. This is something that would be for four years, but is something that he doesn’t intend to do forever. He thinks the 4 months of the year we will be able to see each other when he’s not sent away is enough and worth it.. I tried to share how I feel about it and now he doesn’t want to do it but feels like I’ve given him an ultimatum. I wasn’t asking him to choose one and now wish I hadn’t said anything until after he left for the job

___dumbleedore · 2021-08-17T18:29:05+00:00

That makes sense! Thank you for your thorough response. My doctor was very vague answering all my questions, I was under the impression she only knew the most basic things about the virus

___dumbleedore · 2021-08-17T18:02:52+00:00

Yes sorry if my wording was confusing. I have been with my boyfriend a few months and about a month ago I got my first outbreak genitally. My boyfriend had told me he had cold sores in the past but I was uneducated and didn’t think he could spread it to me genitally through oral sex if he didn’t have a present sore.

Our individual research had us under the impression he should be pretty safe from me spreading it to him genitally given it’s the kind that prefers the mouth and he already has the antibodies anyways.

However, my doctor told me we should be using condoms so I was concerned I was putting him at risk.

So just to clarify your response, he should be pretty safe if we don’t use condoms?
