Any other FBers going to Westins SPG holiday party tonight in CLT?

Will be leaving for a competitor (different consulting firm) soon and trying to figure out how to approach 2 weeks notice. I have several weeks of unused vacation still - will / can my firm force me to use my vacation time during my two week notice period? Will they give me any work, especially since I'm going to a competitor?

For anyone that resigned without an offer lined up and took time off, what did you tell your team as a reason for leaving? I’m just not happy with my company but don’t want to jump into something new yet.

Anyone have the SPG/Marriott corporate code for Comcast?

Just had to go to thesaurus dot com to look up synonyms for “exciting”. I think I need a vacation….

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but here it goes. In your experience, how much does a PRODUCT owner makes in bay area / San Diego in a medical device company? I got hired as a business analyst but now doing full product owner role, I actually like it and fixing my resume for any internal move or external.

I got low balled when I got here, do not want to repeat same experience

How does one tell their boss (owner of the company) that you are burnt out? The sheer volume of work is exhausting and I haven’t taken a true vacation as we are a small company so if something urgent comes to my email I feel like I must respond. I was given an additional title and more responsibilities last year as well but only a 3% raise for it.

Hi fellow fish need some advice.

I'm planning a wedding and wondering if I should apply for new credit cards to maximize on points. If so, wondering what your recommendations are and or if there are new cards out there I haven't heard of yet. For context I probably have another 20k+ in expenses to pay still and my current cards are:

CSP
Marriott Bonvoy Boundless
Citi double cash
Random card (used to be uber)

Moving to NYC from Australia.
Want to know what to expect as an Account Supervisor.
5 years exp across local and intl brands, the kicker is that its been in brand partnerships, and not ATL.
Thoughts?

Looking to buy a vacation home on the west coast not in a major city. West coast so it doesn’t take too long to get there. Could consider other areas, but don’t want to spend too much time traveling there. Budget is under $700k for 3 bedroom, at least 2k sqft. Any ideas?

Hi all,
I'll be moving out to San Diego for a few months and wont have a car, can I get around downtown without one? Also, what areas within downtown are safe?

Time sensitive question, have two offers. One is GIR in SLC with GS. Other is Generalist Consultant at McKinsey. Which would you recommend (McKinseys offer is slightly higher but assuming due to location). Thank you greatly for any insight! Hoping to get into private equity in the distant future

Hi all, I have been in social services for about 2.5 years now. Initially as a Case Manager and now a Care Coordinator. I currently make $25/hour while living in San Diego, CA. Does this pay seem fair to where I live/the job description?

Can I use the floating holiday after 9/30 or is it gone?

How long is too long to try to push back a start date? Getting a formal offer early next week but trying to keep that big law bonus if possible. Firm pays out bonuses Dec 30 & I have a vacation scheduled Dec 19-23 (and was planning on working remotely the week after too). Ideally want to get EOY bonus or negotiate for a signing bonus but is it too much to push for signing bonus and those weeks off? I'm open to working remotely those two weeks but know that may not be the best when I start.

Anyone afraid to take vacation in FY18, for fear of missing utilization? 🙋🏼🙋🏼‍♂️

Would you recommend Sedona during Christmas or San Diego during Christmas with a 1.5 year old? Entertainment, safety, meaningful experience-focused.

Sedona will be much colder, possibly snowing/icy and will be hiking, hot tub, enjoying the scenery focused. San Diego will be beach, enjoying scenery focused. Both Airbnb options look beautiful. Will also have 60 year old grandparents joining

If you do billable work on a given PTO/vacation day, do you still count that day as vacation? Or do you get that vacation day "back"? Or do you only get the part that you billed "back"? (Or some other option.)

Now that the holiday season has arrived, what's on the secret wish list for Black professionals in the accounting world?

Hi, I’m currently working in Business consulting at EY India. I am keen to practice consulting in the Middle East. Does anyone know which mgmt consulting firms offer visa sponsorships and the best way to reach out to them?
Thanks in advance!

How do I know Big-Law is not for me?

I am a first year who just started a couple of months ago and I am literally confused all the time. I did some small work for two partners and they loved it, so put me on new deals but the mid levels I am staffed with absolutely hate the work I do. One said the work I did was laughable. I felt bed because I spent over 25 hours on this. I wouldn’t be very bothered but the other Associates in my class are killing it. So I just feel dumb all the time.

At what age did you stop comparing yourself to others and became comfortable with your own path? I can’t stop comparing myself to others who come from more wealth, have more wealth, and are better looking than me. Also have a history of self loathing which doesn’t help.

Moving from a boutique (<30 employees, MBB competitor) to the strategy practice of a Big 4. Have only worked for boutiques in the past, so I’m expecting there to be some major differences in terms of working style.

What are the major differences and ‘watch outs’ you would point out to me? Could be anything from culture, to red tape, to compliance etc.

Anybody know anything about Nomura Research Institue (NRI)? Market perceptions?

Applied for EYP TSE Operation Analytics Senior and had a initial screening call with EYP recruiter two weeks ago but she has been ignoring my follow up email and hasn't been responding since. Is it normal or I'm no longer in their consideration already?

Also wondering if anyone from that practice is willing to connect? I'm currently in DDV and very good at Alteryx and Tableau, so want to make the switch.
