Question: I have a lawsuit against a center that filed for BK. I believe there is insurance from the time in question. However, I know BK stays the litigation and then disposes claims. Do I have any recourse? Can I still reach the insurance? Thanks you.

More layoffs at VaynerMedia this week. I've survived 3 rounds in less than a year.... maybe this time I start looking for another job?

I have a job offer that provides incredible career growth in my current city. It’s somewhat a dream opportunity. I have another, very solid job offer, in a different part of the country. Less money, less growth long term, but it’s in a city my wife wants to settle down in. Has much better WLB. We just had a kid. Am I wrong to feel upset that she isn’t more supportive of this once in a lifetime role for me? She does not work (not holding against her). Feels like I’m settling to make her happy

People who do compensation/employee benefits consulting, what’s something you were surprised to learn through your job?

Almost a year into current job. Tons of long hours and menial work but starting to do some really cool stuff now. In-house agency reached out and the lower end of their budget is nearly 2x my salary..

Black practitioners: A Black man I follow on social media said that he doesn’t support making Juneteenth a holiday because it reifies the idea of Black people as inferior. In his view, the recognition of the inherent dignity of Black people isn’t something worth celebrating but rather is simply a matter of justice.  Celebrating it actually puts white people on a pedestal, because there’s an implicit claim that recognizing Black people as *people* was a nice thing to do. What do you think?

Big4 to MBB switch - does anyone know what it takes?

Is it fine to take a moment to collect your thoughts before giving recommendations at the end of a case interview?

About to roll off & trying to switch to commercial from federal. Is it bad for me to seek out projects in certain areas? Where I want to be is where I want to be right or is that looked down upon?

Does someone have a ranking of firms by average bonus size (%) for let's say M/SM level? Would be interested to see the differences between MBB/T2/Big4.

Does every firm in MBB has an "up or out" system, or is it just McKinsey? And how strictly is it enforced? Are you given any chances if you can go up in the fixed amount of time?

Does anyone have feedback on the realization of the yearly Accenture performance bonus? (ie. if target bonus is 20% and you got 10% then the realization would be 50%)

What's the best way to prepare a business case presentation? I've been invited to a final round interview for a medical device company as a process optimization consultant. They sent me a client case study. In the case there are pain points of the client, and some numbers to analyze their workflow and recommend them to use their medical devices for process improvement. I'm not sure how to stucture it. how would you approach it?

PHR or SHRM? I am looking to get more certifications related to HR vs recruiting, but I am unsure on which one is "better" or will help me grow into more of a strategic HR role. Help!!!

I work in insurance defense and we are getting slammed as far as workload and have been for some time. It’s nice because I haven’t had to beg for billable work and always hit my goals. My question is whether this has been the norm at other insurance defense firms. My other question is how other states are dealing with COVID restrictions on jury trials. Has anyone tried anything during the pandemic?

Hi! I’m starting my first job out of college next week. It is an industry job, pretty okay work life balance. This role is an experienced hire role and I’m very nervous because I recruited as a new grad. I would love any advice on how to adjust to the work, any skillsets I should learn, routines to create, or just anything I can do to prepare myself in the corporate world and “adulting”. Many thanks🙏

I’m interviewing for a company that is asking me to complete a project as part of the interview process. I want to send them a contract to ensure the work I produce won’t be used by the company (they’ve already agreed to signing something), but since I’ve never drafted anything like this I don’t know where to start. Does anyone know of any good resources/templates for this sort of thing?

Deloitte tax projecting double digit (percentage) decrease to top and bottom line for FY21 - at least our office / region. Based on that, layoffs seem necessary. Fortunate that the folks laid off hit the market first; if the revenue decrease is truly that significant, have to imagine all other firms will be making the same difficult decisions.

Can you start working at another big 4 firm while taking terminal pto at your current one (during 2 week notice period), assuming that you are not on a project?

When should my baby start self-feeding? She loves food, but will not eat on her own (even though she puts everything but food in her mouth 🙄)

Hi all. I am currently in the US on H1B. My I-797 is valid until Feb 2023 but my H1B stamp expired in Aug 2020. My wife is in Toronto Canada and I want to visit her using AVR. Is this currently doable or would you advice against it?

Happy to have gotten into b school, but starting to have cold feet given the covid situation and the fact that we could be virtual this fall and perhaps even longer. Is anyone else feeling this way?
