How much do we really need in order to retire? I am 41 and have 2M in stocks/cash and fully own my apt (3M). I have no outstanding debt and ready to find an exit.

Is the 50-50 male-female hiring rule fair? In many offices the applicants are 80-20, thus women are 4 times more likely to make it. Isn’t this the definition of discrimination?

26, no kids or debt, making 175k/Yr - miserably bored at work and want to work for a startup. In the size startups I want for the role I want I’d have to take 50% pay cut Thoughts?

Fam... I have a dilemma. A headhunter reached out to me about a position I m very interested in. We talked and he said he was a good fit for the company. Later he came back and said the company ...

a recruiter reached out asking if I was interested in an accounting role with a 60k salary (I have 5 YoE). anyone have any similar clueless recruiter stories?

Etiquette question: should I pick up the tab when meeting someone for an informational chat over happy hour drinks/food? The person is my former professor who works in my desired exit company now.

Does anyone here have a side hussle? What do you do? Salary isn't cutting it and I'm not in a position to change jobs right now. I need to save money this year and could use the extra $$

So somehow the team made me the person fixing the slides and I got “criticism” for even a few misalignment. I mean, seriously, how can anyone perfectly align everything to the same position?

Some days, I daydream about going to industry, hiring consultants, and then being the worst to the partners and the best to the poor BAs

Starting my first job at big 4 on Monday and I have a horrible feeling that they’ll fire me within a week when they realize they’ve made a huge mistake in hiring me 🙃

Why do so many 🐠 seem to hate the profession but continue to do it? I personally have no complaints and feel privileged to be able to do what we do. Plenty of ppl would kill to be in our position.

Starting to think stay-at-home parent is the ultimate exit op. Thoughts?

What really is the hierarchy or ranking for Non-mbb firms? Is there a firm more prestigious in Big 4 than the other in terms of exit opps?

How many of you are still in Consulting because you don’t know what else to do? I have absolutely no idea what type of exit I would want, so I’m sticking around until I figure that out I guess.

Have any of you sacrificed a huge opportunity in your career for family? So torn. Take a more prestigious role, more money but be away from my wife for a year. Or average role and stay together.
