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. Thanks!!

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!

Families with kids that are mentally disabled do you have financial planning advice? Is Medicaid and SSDI enough to cover their future expenses? I understand under Medicaid benefits there is funding for intermediate care facilities (ICF). Any advice or knowledge is appreciated!

Life / Career Advice: I applied to medical school since my MCAT score was set to expire, ended up getting into 1 program. I also have an opp to join a well funded/well established Healthtech Startup (6 figure salary w/ equity + benefits) as a BD professional. I enjoy the business side of things and am unsure if I would end up practicing Medicine (medicine is also a long arduous path). At the same time, having an MD holds a lot of clout/authority in HC. Any thoughts on what I should do?

Hi, I am 7 months pregnant and currently looking for new projects. My manager is trying to place me on projects that will end around the time I am due with the baby and trying to steer me away from projects that are longer and I am really interested in doing. Per my manager that way company doesn’t have to deal with clients when I go on maternity leave. Is this normal and even allowed?

My company matches every volunteer hour an employee does at $25 an hour up to 15k. Let’s say I volunteer for 500 hours and they match $7,500. Would I be able to claim that $7,500 when it comes to taxes? Or does my company claim it? Just trying to understand tax benefits. Gonna volunteer regardless

If I resign on July 1st, will I still get my health benefits for the month of July ?

At what temperature do you keep your house during the summer? My husband keeps this place freezing and he seems to think that’s the norm but I don’t think how much we spend on utilities is normal

I’ve been informed that I need to do in vitro if I have kids. I would like to so would like to begin the process now while I’m younger. While PwC covers in vitro, if I choose to get pregnant in a few years versus today and freeze my eggs would they still cover it?

Thoughts on Mindshare?

Trying to understand how best to proceed with getting in shape. I've realized my weight isn't the problem (I mean I could lose a few) but it's flabby & loose (sorry TMI).
Noticed my arms are just jiggling. Is weight training really the best way to approach this?
I've started Pilates recently and want to know if this will help as well?
And for folks who have "tightened up" with workouts - how long did it take ya? Thanks in advance!

Looking for ideas on how to handle the following: 10 attorney firm. Founding partner in his 80s and still comes in. Lately, he has become abusive to staff, angry, and making office miserable. 3 paralegals have complained about his fits.

Not sure how to change/approach this. I’m a junior partner who gets stuck with the fallout, hiring if people leave, and my life is now being made to be miserable too.

This person is not involved in the day-to-day anymore so when they come in, it's chaos.

I have been working in KPMG Global Services for the last 2 years based in an offshore team in India and have recently received an opportunity to pursue MS in Finance in USA.

As I'll be joining the course , I will be required to move to USA now and will be needing to quit my job in the firm.
So I was wondering whether I shall go ahead and ask our team in USA in case they can provide me an option to join in the USA practice once I graduate from the program ?

Shall I go ahead ?

Advice for a hiring manager (me)
I am hiring for a role. I posted it on LinkedIn and said pls reach out to me.

Now, I suddenly have too many people reaching out and it's difficult to talk to all of them ( some aren't right at all)
Conflicted cause I think it might be unfair to pick and choose who I talk to pre-application but on the other hand, I wanna find out about the candidate b4 and find the best person. So an ethical dilemma of fairness and saving time what to do?
