Curious if anyone has made the shift to Mckinsey from tech? I have an offer to come into Expert (but with expectations that I hit Associate Partner quickly):

Salesforce - 200k base, 40k (opening) + 50k (year 1) + 75k (year 2) RSUs, 15% Bonus

Mckinsey - 215k base, 35k bonus, 75k signing bonus

I know the salaries at Mckinsey skyrocket when you hit Partner - but the work-life balance and benefits at Salesforce cannot be underestimated - and my RSUs keep getting larger and larger...thoughts?

Honest question: Does the consulting pay/benefit model need to change given the likely travel restrictions continuing for the foreseeable future? Many consider the travel, expensed meals, points, travel in lieu of, etc large benefits to the job/career and view WFH as a loss of benefits. Others, myself included, view WFH as its own benefit.

What is your 401k setup? Firm match, % into pre-tax, % into Roth, % after-tax contribution, etc.

How do you come up with your total compensation when talking to recruiters? Do you add benefits other than base salary and bonus? If so how do you estimate and support those numbers? Thanks 👽

What would Medicare for all do to healthcare consulting?

Is it worth even investing in my 401k right now if I don’t plan on staying at my firm for two years? I believe that’s how long it takes to vest so it seems a lot less attractive without the match

I absolutely hate EY’s Fidelity 401k. Deloitte’s Vanguard answers the phone the moment you call. Meanwhile Fidelity I’ve been on hold for 20min+ and this is every time I call.

Recent college grad having a lot of trouble understanding if I should max my traditional or Roth IRA this year. I make 100k salary and made 60k from short term capital gains last year, but maxed my 401k. Does this mean I made too much to use a Roth this year?

Hello! I’m putting feelers out about associate positions in northeast Ohio, preferably the Canfield area, but flexible to all of northeast Ohio. I am a 2nd year attorney and practice civil law. I specialize in legal research and writing.

I am dealing with depression and anxiety due to upcoming criminal charges against my father and his partner (im the one pressing charges), a DOR diagnosis (I am single, 33 and AMH of 0.23 with no contributing lifestyle factors), a failed first egg freezing cycle, and fear of losing my job due to being on the bench for nearly 3mos. I don’t know what to do and am feeling increasingly desperate. (cont’)

High volume recruiting - how are you using Indeed? Posting directly to the site? Using campaigns linked to your ATS, if so what ATS? I always feel as if indeed never works great to provide the right candidate quality and numbers for the price. I’d love to hear some strategies! TIA

How many of you corporate America moms looooove your jobs vs view them as a necessity to fund what you like and enjoy? Heading back to work after maternity-2 and can’t seem to get myself excited about it. I love having a career, accomplishments, financial independence, ability to afford a nice lifestyle, plus I would make the worst housewife. But daily grind, dealing with crazy personalities and general pointlessness of my line of work (corporate tax consulting) is filling me with dread. Welp!

Well I’m kind of hoping this gets the boost I want it to. I have been applying to jobs left and right after my company announced it was shutting down in May. I found a new job, but it is not at all the right fit - including a decrease in pay, a misogynist owner (who told me I will never get answers or respect because I’m a female), among other problems. I am hoping someone has a referral for a senior level operations position and can help me find a better fit. Thank you 🙏🏼

Curious to hear from people with med school debt: what is the best way to finance med school? Is taking on student debt a big deal if you get a high-paying job after school? The reason I ask: I paid for my son's BS degree (including housing and meal plans), and he's entering med school soon. He has asked if I will pay anything towards his support in med school. But he worked all through his undergrad degree and saved sine I was paying for the major expenses, so I kind of feel like this is his thing to take on now. AITA?
