Amex card has been frozen for months, ~11k on personal cards for biz travel still waiting on reimbursement, 2+ months of auditor hell on expensing, and at this point I don't even invest outside of my 401k/HSA because it's too much of a pain from a reporting standpoint.

These client offers for 70% higher TC are looking more and more appealing each day

I always get reimbursed in a few business days. How is your Amex frozen and how did you rack up $11k on personal cards for business expenses? What trouble are you having with the auditors?

you're right, it's not like I've been expensing through Amex 4 years prior to this. Great analysis.

How the hell does it get to this point?

No idea, just one day, i'm arriving to client airport, card frozen, can't book rentals or anything. No communications about why, i've run it up with Amex and HR and no one STILL has given me an answer.

I teach 4th grade at a STEAM Academy(public school). We do Project Based Learning. We do 2 a year.

Today I messed up doing a delivery. The client was expecting the supplies at 3pm in the warehouse, however, there was an accident on the highway and traffic was insane. It slipped my mind to let them know about the delay. Now, they believe it was me being irresponsible and are threatening to fire me for not reporting on time and possible losing them a client. What can I do to fix the situation?

What should I expect from my manager? I've stuck it out for a year now and all I'm ever told is to not make mistakes. Manager stated explicitly that he does not want to review or test my work. Any attempts at discussion of why I made a mistake are dismissed by him as me making excuses. I never get any positive feedback. I somehow manager to make it a few months without making any errors but I missed a small detail in a large project and my 1on1 went terribly because of it. Is this common?

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?

The first offer was a bit underwhelming. I'm trying to think of creative ways to respond with a counter offer. Offer is 150k base with 10k bonus, no equity or stock, and insurance premiums are a bit expensive. Base and bonus are what I have to work with. Initial thoughts were to give a hard "no" and continue interviewing.

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
