Benefits

Curious, does anyone have experience working for the same firm as their spouse? My spouse just got an offer to join a totally separate part of my company. It doesn’t seem like there is any actual optimization of benefits in this situation but I’m curious if I’m missing something.

I’m a senior with dreams of going in-house. The maternity leave at the firm is great so the plan was to have a kid before I leave, but of course we’re struggling to conceive. My matters are stale and I feel very disconnected from my group. I can see my mid-levels getting ready to step into my shoes. I guess I just feel like I should be gone, but I’m not, and it’s really hard I’m struggling with depression and burn out and going off birth control didn’t help. (cont)

My insurance benefits end the day of my last employment and my next job doesn’t start for an additional week. COBRA documents won’t come in for almost a month according to the company website. What happens if I get injured during that week? Am I completely screwed?

Anyone willing to give a PwC internal referral? I’m a lawyer looking to transition into health care compliance (bachelors and masters in biomedical sciences) and I currently litigate operational healthcare disputes. Thanks!

Which job would you choose given the two choices right now?

JOB A
- VP at JPMC
- high performance, specialized IC role

- 4-week vacation and tons of benefits
- Back office role 35-40 hrs a week
- lots of learning opportunities
- smart, competent coworkers
- chill boss, who is empowering and giving a lot of autonomy
- way too many VPs to compete with, will not be easy to get to ED
- Could be more exit/external opportunities at ED level in 3-5 years

Per diem when traveling on Sunday for work reasons / yea or nay?

I’m currently interviewing for an AS role which would be a bit of a pay cut, but I’ll get to learn a lot so I’m interested. Any tips on how to approach the negotiation convo if/when that comes, besides asking to at least meet me halfway re:salary? They already provide unlimited PTO and free health benefits(which is nice).

I recently started working at a firm that does a lot of legal aid. In order to attract more private clients, they want us to go out and do speaking engagements and volunteer work (on our own time). Furthermore, they started asking us to consider doing per diem duty counsel work to bring up our receivables (aka- work as duty counsel and give them our pay). I was so appalled by this comment, I’m beyond livid. I became an associate so I didn’t have to go out and bring in business. (Cont.)

Recently married. Benefits of filing taxes as a couple versus individually?

If you can make 38% more as an independent contractor for a year would you take it? You’d have to pay employment tax, fund own benefits and retirement accounts wouldn’t be matched. Why or why not?

Hi everyone, I am trying to land an entry level role with a Big 4 consulting firm when I finish my degree. I am set to finish next December because I am going part time while I finish up my time in the military. Could anyone give me insights if it is too early to begin recruiting through the campus recruit cycle this fall? Will I be considered an off cycle recruit and if so when will those firms be willing to consider me for roles to begin in December of 2022? Thanks in advance.

Has anyone had success renegotiating pay while remaining in the same position? The last two years have significantly changed my local market and the less-than-inflation federal pay raises are not cutting it. I'd be seeking 3 steps within my current grade, but I don't know if my management even has a mechanism to make the change if they wanted to. I am aware of the Quality Step Increase, but I don't think that's the solution here.
