Is it possible to work 1-2 years as a junior associate at a super boutique doing a combination of fraud/abuse and transactional work in the healthcare space and then lateral to biglaw to practice securities law? I’m happy doing health law, but it’s not what I want to do long term and I worry the longer I stay in that space, the harder it will be switch to the kind of law I truly want to build a career in.

Be a good listener. That’s number one in being a good consultant. Don’t be a talking bobble head. Focus on project related work you have done, timelines and deliverables...that’s what consulting work is about. Results achieved. Benefits/cost savings you helped to generate. Highlight your ability to work within a team. Good luck.

Pros/cons/ first hand experience of planning a pregnancy during busy season versus planning one outside of busy season? It’s tempting to reap the benefits of being on maternity leave during busy season but nervous of the impact it may have on my career progression. Currently going into my S3 year and would be on track to be promoted to manager the following year (first Mgr busy season would be 2022). We are looking to start having kids in the next couple years.

I accepted a client side role with better pay, hours, and benefits. But I now feel dumber than I ever was since senior leadership don’t prioritize strategy, my work is stressful but not intellectually challenging. How do I spin this positively in a new job search?

I spent the last 3 months "growing up" & now I'm ready to go. 1st thing is for me to get my own place. I'd like to buy instead of rent because I don't want to pay someone else's mortgage.

I'm thinking of selling my car & cash out some of my 401k to buy a house. My thought is to put down 3.5% for a FHA loan then make a big payment towards the principal to reduce long-term interest.

Anything wrong with this thinking or anything else I should consider?

Hello Everyone - Looking for advice from Deloitte practitioners! I am a specialist senior at Deloitte, got back from maternity leave in April 2020. I had my offering leader schedule a call with me to notify that I have been rated a low performer because I had 46% utilization and mediocre firm contribution scatterplot. My project scatterplots have been consistently good 5,5(top right) over the last 3 years. Do they not consider these things before rating someone as low? Feeling very low!

Best Hyatt property for business travel in Seattle?

Best reasonably-priced dress shirts for lifters?

Any tips? They said a quiz, but it wasn't a personality quiz.

What they sent was a form to see if I'd match their culture? Which I'd get, but why ask "How messy is your desk on a scale of 1-10? Be honest." All the other questions were standard like name, what does this role mean to you etc.

- Do they think messy = disorganized/bad worker?
-Maybe messy is creative? I've been told that's possible.

I'm not messy, just seems odd to toss it in between regular questions. Is it intrusive?
