Anyone ever used the Warton Group? Their marketing emails say they have preset appointments with 401k plan sponsors that are shopping their plan. The advisor is charged for the contacts. 1/2

My sister considering becoming a teacher but I’m worried about the quality of my benefits. What districts offer the best health and retirement benefits?

Max out 401k or meet match then invest the rest for a down payment on a house??

Would you rather have 401k matching or 100% health insurance

I refuse to nag my husband to find out so I will just ask here - what are Accenture paternity benefits these days? My research (aka google) says 8 weeks if he registered as primary caregiver. True?

Does anyone feel like they’ve really found meaning and purpose in life? I’m 31, have a great marriage, should make partner in the next 3-5 years, but it all just feels so meaningless. I feel stuck between making money, trying to go back to school, trying out industry. I feel the force of inertia and fear of the unknown keeping me in a role that makes me feel anxious and lost. I work in healthcare, and find myself in executive meetings wondering if I should have been a physician or nurse... help?

How long after leaving Deloitte can I expect to get my pension payout?

Hi fishes! Does slalom offer any tuition reimbursement for grad school?

4 sessions in with a therapist and trying to assess effectiveness. Seems like she spends the hour gathering information from me but never really going deeper to understand root causes of my behaviors. Almost like she is fishing at times to find something to talk about.

Is this common? Do I need to stick it out longer to realize benefits?

Getting an offer from start up- base they are matching - they have no 401k match, no Bonus but they are giving me stock options at 0.2% of today's equity. Is it reasonable

How much (%) do you contribute to your 401k (including both pre and post tax)? Researching is very difficult bc consultants don’t even remotely resemble the average American financially, so just curious how I stack up against peers.

26/m - I have about 8k in an old 401k from my previous company. Should I roll all my retirement earnings into one big bucket? Is it a big deal if I just leave it there? What would you do?

Anyone at Accenture recently take paternity leave? The policy states for paternity leave, if you claim to be primary caregiver you get 8 weeks @ 100% pay. Thoughts on claiming primary ?

Benefits of moving out

What should I charge as a freelance rate for a Strategy Director? I have ~10YOE in healthcare and CPG at top agencies. Based in NYC and would work remote.

Friend Holds a PhD in Physical Therapy. 3 years into working for a healthcare/hospital network. Would they be able to pivot into life sciences/healthcare consulting without having to go to B-School?

Have offer from a financial services company. Amazing $, benefits etc. BUT they laid off a HUGE chunk of people (30% of company) early this year.... is this typically a cause for concern moving fwd?

Does your company cover 100% of healthcare plan costs? If not, why aren’t employees asking for it? I didn’t realise this wasn’t a normal thing as I assumed having a healthcare benefit meant the company always paid

What are Accenture's benefits like? Thinking about making the switch.

Why platinum and no longer platinum elite?

🐟🐠Best investment book recommendations (stocks, real estate, fundamental analysis etc.). Any books that will really help me to get smart on investing and stock analysis. Also, best trading platforms?

I want to start preparing for PE recruiting, how do I start?
1. On prep work: are there any online courses that I should take? What books/guides are good?
2. On head hunters: who are the best headhunters to reach out to? Should I simply cold email or LinkedIn invite them?

For context, I'm a Europe based consultant, looking to recruit to London

Hi folks

I got an offer from TCS. In the ibegin portal I see the location is Hyderabad-JST-STP.

Does anyone know which office location on Hyderabad does this belong to?

TIA

Looking for some advice. I wasted too many years I care to mention in school and career meaning with little to no focus or goals. I got into consulting at 27 surrounded...continued...

Planning to buy a decent car this December with a budget up to 17K (leaning towards used). Would appreciate suggestions on:
1) Is it a good time to buy a car?
2) Best Dealerships
3) How much mileage is okay for a used car in Houston?

Some news has been spreading over Linkdin that wipro sent the offer letter but before 2 days of joining they are extending the joining date and they are not responding to the candidate.

Is this true? Has anyone anything about it.

Are there any recruiting companies specifically for music jobs? Having a hard time finding any

I am currently an Engagement Manager at AWS. I am looking to work at Google as a Project/Program Manager. I would love to connect and network.

Anyone have a mini schnauzer? Just wanted to get a ball range of annual costs. Thinking about getting one during covid, perfect time to train!

Post-COVID, our hospital is piloting a program to provide "frequent flyers" with housing problems a 3 month stay in supportive housing

Would you rather rent a 3bed/2bath 1700sqft home that is painted and renovated or a 2,400 sq ft 4 bed / 3 bath that has ok amenities but has not been painted in 10 years, has ugly wallpaper in bathrooms and some questionable carpet choices? Repainting would probably cost 10k. Price of both rentals is equivalent and well within our means. We want to rent for a year or a year and a half to get to know the burbs before buying in the area. Both locations are in nice suburbs in similar neighborhoods.

New to freelancing - recos on apps/sites for tracking time/projects and doing invoicing? Also, for those that deduct expenses for taxes, how are you keeping track of everything?
